Byther Smith wurde 1932 in Monticello direkt am Mississippi geboren und lernte von Künstlern wie wie Otis Rush, Junior Wells, Howlin’ Wolf, Robert Lockwood und Big Mama Thornton ehe er in den 50er Jahren zum wichtigen Bindeglied in der Chicago Blues Szene wurde. Diese frisch eingespielten Fedora Aufnahmen zeigen ihn mit überwiegend neuem Material auf dem Höhepunkt seines Könnens. Gospel, tiefer Blues Gesang, in neuen Kompositionen verpackt – afro-amerikanischer Blues Genuss pur!
Byrther Smith stands today as one of the most important links to the heady days of mid-50s Chicago blues. Got No Place To Go presents the man in concert with all his intensity and raw power learned from his years playing with greats such as Otis Riush, Junior Wells, Howlin Wolf, Robert Lockwood and Big Mama Thornton. This recording finds him at the very peak of his powers: a fiery spark plug of a man, stepping to the microphone, and in a full, gospeldrenched voice, barking the lyrics to Otis Rush's Keep On Lovin' Me Baby like commands then stepping back and discharging a series of clear, surprisingly fat-toned notes from his Stratocaster, turning the dancers into watchers, and the watchers into people standing, whistling, and applauding.
