 Jimmy
Smith – Dot Com Blues
{2000 | Verve Music Group}
Can an organ playing jazz musician
play the blues? Yep! Dot Com Blues features
Jimmy Smith on a Hammond B3 organ and is joined
by some of the biggest names in blues: B.B.
King, Etta James, Taj Mahal, Dr. John, and Keb
Mo. So heck yea Smith can play the blues and
on Dot Com Blues he plays the blues with the
best of them, literally.
Uplifting and very enjoyable,
this ain't no church organ. You get plenty of
up-tempo organ playing, which throughout the
songs seldom dominate in addition to electric
guitar, slide guitar, piano and some great vocals.
Tracks are:
1.
Only In It For The Money
2. 8 Counts For Rita
3. Strut
4. CC Rider
5. I Just Wanna Make Love
To You
6. Mood Indigo
7. Over & Over
8. Three O’Clock
Blues
9. Dot Com Blues
10. Mr. Johnson

Overall,
this bluesy gem gets 3.8725 out of 5.
