Our Take

HUEY PIANO SMITH: Having A Good Time / Twas The Night Before Christmas

The legendary Huey Piano Smith is back with a festive twist on his classic sound with "Having A Good Time / Twas The Night Before Christmas". This album is like a warm hug from your nan after one too many glasses of sherry.

The tracks on this album are an eclectic mix of holiday classics and original tunes that will have you tapping your feet and bopping along in no time. From the jazzy piano riffs to the smooth vocals, this album is a joyous celebration of the holiday season.

Smith's signature blend of rock and roll, R&B, and boogie-woogie shines through on every track, making it impossible not to get up and dance. Tracks like "Jingle Bells" and "Winter Wonderland" are given a fresh twist with Smith's infectious energy and playful lyrics.

But it's the title track, "Twas The Night Before Christmas", that steals the show. Smith's soulful vocals and groovy piano playing create a magical atmosphere that will transport you straight to a cozy fireside on Christmas Eve.

Overall, "Having A Good Time / Twas The Night Before Christmas" is a must-listen for anyone looking to add some festive cheer to their holiday playlist. It's like a Christmas cracker filled with musical surprises that will leave you grinning from ear to ear. Cheers to Huey Piano Smith for another banger of an album!

About the artist

Huey 'Piano' Smith & The Clowns

Huey "Piano" Smith is a New Orleans legend with enough groove in his fingers to make even the stiffest upper lip start tapping along. Born in 1934, this piano maestro got his start playing in clubs along the infamous Bourbon Street before breaking out with his band, The Clowns, in the late 1950s. Smith is known for his infectious blend of rhythm and blues, rock and roll, and boogie-woogie that have made him a mainstay in the New Orleans music scene for decades. His playful lyrics and rollicking piano skills have earned him a dedicated following of fans who can't help but get up and dance whenever his tunes hit the airwaves. With hits like "Rockin' Pneumonia and the Boogie Woogie Flu" and "Don't You Just Know It," Smith has etched his name into music history as one of the pioneers of the rock and roll sound. His catchy hooks and irreverent charm have inspired generations of musicians and continue to influence artists to this day. Smith's career has been as colourful as his music, with ups and downs that have only added to his mystique. From touring with greats like Little Richard and Fats Domino to running into legal troubles, Smith's story is as captivating as his music. Now in his later years, Smith may not play as many shows as he used to, but his legacy lives on in the countless musicians he has inspired. With a style that is as infectious as it is timeless, Huey "Piano" Smith remains a true icon of the music world.
