Tribute Mondays: Moses "Whispering" Smith

Moses Smith (January 25, 1932 – April 28, 1984)


Blues Harmonica Player and Singer, Moses "Whispering" Smith, had his chance at recording his Solo projects when Swamp Blues was in decline and as a result, his records failed to make an impact. He is mostly remembered for his Harmonica work on Swamp Blues recordings by Lightnin' Slim and Silas Hogan during the 1960's. Thanks for your contribution Mr. Smith,  you are appreciated. Please take a listen here and have a nice Monday: Hound dog twist, Mean woman blues, Texas flood, and What in the world's come over me
