I love the underdog, the underappreciated and the underplayed artists, primarily from the 70's.Thats why I like to write these reviews, to keep their music alive. Norman "Hurricane" Smith is one of those artists. He was a producer with his name on Pink Floyd and Beatle albums. His biggest hit musically of course was "Oh Babe, What Would You Say", the almost vaudvillian vocals reminiscent of "Winchester Cathedral". This is a good album, you just have to familiarize yourself with the tunes to appreciate it. The first step is to have samples available. The next is to add it to your collection. Enjoy.

A great collection of Hurricane Smith recordings.

It makes you appreciate the past and it gives you

a little history of his recordings and his own

insights on the recordings.

Either you like Hurricane Smith or you don't. He's a really different breed. He grew up in Britain in the late '30's and 40's and it shows in this music, which owes more to pre-WW2 British pop music than anything since. His voice is scratchy, the arrangements are orchestral, and many of the songs are nostalgic for a way of life that disappeared many decades ago. But that's what I like about him. He traveled his own road, making music that nobody else was remotely interested in doing, and it came out pretty well. I don't listen to it that often, but when I do, I always have a smile.
