The Gordon Smith Band
Described by John Peel as “ The foremost white Blues guitarist in the world “, Gordon is also one of the country´s greatest Blues vocalists.
His 1968 debut album ´Long Overdue´ was produced by Mike Vernon for the legendary Blue Horizon label, and featured members of Fleetwood Mac, including Peter Green. For years this album has been a collector´s classic, but it is now due to be re-released by Mike Vernon along with other vintage Blue Horizon recordings.
During the 70´s,Gordon was a member of ´The Kevin Coyne Band’ with whom he recorded several albums for Virgin,as well as a couple of his own for the Italian label Appaloosa, and in the 90´s a solo country Blues album ´Out of the Bottleneck´.
His band features Alan Glen on harmonica and Jim Mercer on bass.
