| Great acoustic blues from the very underrated Robert Curtis Smith. Smith's take on Jesse Ervin's and Charles Brown's "Don’t Drive Me Away," with its measured, understated drum accompaniment, is a bit reminiscent of Frankie Lee Sims. (You may also recognize this tune from Sam Cooke's "Night Beat".) Smith goes it alone on "I Believe We Love Each Other," a fine original composition. "Don’t Drive Me Away" has turned up on a couple compilations, but as far as I know this is the only place to hear the flip side. I've heard rumor that Mr. Smith still walks among us and I'd welcome any information regarding his current whereabouts. |
