艺人介绍

by Bill DahlSmokey Hogg was a rural bluesman navigating a postwar era infatuated by R&B, but he got along quite nicely nonetheless, scoring a pair of major R&B hits in 1948 and 1950 and cutting a thick catalog for a slew of labels (including Exclusive, Modern, Bullet, Macys, Sittin in With, Imperial, Mercury, Recorded in Hollywood, Specialty, Fidelity, Combo, Federal, and Showtime). During the early 30s, Hogg, who was influenced by Big Bill Broonzy and Peetie Wheatstraw, worked with slide guitarist Black Ace at dances around Greenville, TX. Hogg first recorded for Decca in 1937, but it was an isolated occurrence — he didnt make it back into a studio for a decade. Once he hit his stride, though, Hogg didnt look back. Both his chart hits — 1948s Long Tall Mama and 1950s Little School Girl — were issued on Modern, but his rough-hewn sound seldom changed a whole lot no matter what L.A. logo he was appearing on. Hoggs last few sides were cut in 1958 for Lee Rupes Ebb label. Smokeys cousin John Hogg also played the blues, recording for Mercury in 1951.
