5.0 out of 5 stars He loves to play almost as much as I enjoy listening!, September 26, 1998

Saw him play live last night at a nightclub and realize that he is not only exceptionally talented but that he honestly enjoys playing. NBC really screwed up when they didn't renew him after 10 years w/ Saturday Night Live. He combines traditional blues playing w/ red-hot licks. Excellent work!!

I disagree completely with the naysayer about this music. Wouldn't a customer with any common sense listen to the samples before ordering blind?

Better yet, try G.E.'s MySpace page, where you can listen to full-length clips of the songs on this album (just add /gesmithmusic to MySpace).

Up to this point I was becoming a fan of G.E. Smith. He was like a train wreck on SNL, weird and maybe a little scary, but you couldn't turn away. Then I read that G.E. had backed up Bob Dylan, a guy who could command the attention of any backup guitarist, and I thought, hey, I've discovered someone here. So, intrigued, I bought his album, Incense, Herbs & Oils. I was pumped up when the CD arrived, and ready to fall in love with this thing. I don't know what I was expecting, but ....this wasn't it. Incense, Herbs & Oils is pretty awful stuff. It sounds, well, amateurish. G.E. sings, but he doesn't have a great singing voice. I think he is best in his role as a talented backup guitarist, but not the lead guy. Of course, it's different strokes for different folks, but for me, the mystery is over. There's a reason you've never heard any of this CD on the radio. It just aint real good. I am real disappointed. Darn!
