A mainstay on the Chicago blues scene since the 1960s, "Byther Smith has earned a reputation as one of the most intense performers and songwriters in the blues." - Living Blues. Smitty's strong, passionate voice and stinging guitar deliver the messages from this genuine bluesman, and he's especially powerful when he's playing live. Recorded in 1981, "Hold That Train" was partially issued on the Grits label as "Tell Me How You Like It." This new expanded version contains many unissued songs, a full hour of raw Chicago blues played by a working band.
