Blowin' Smoke were voted by
Music Connection magazine as a "Hot 100 Live Artist
for 2013" in the magazine's year-end issue from among several thousand bands
around the United States that vie for the yearly honor.
Music Connection reviewer Tim Reid Jr. writes, "(bandleader Fuzzy)
Knight must know a thing or two about putting the right pieces in place to make
a show, as he has done in this case. Even with a couple of subs in the horn
section, the clear fact is that Knight is going to present true professionals
whenever Blowin' Smoke takes the stand. Knight himself is a quality bass player
and bluesy singer with an almost grittier Randy Newman kind of sound. The
Fabulous Smokettes live up to their name - working the harmonies and each singer
knowing how to take the spotlight when it hits. "Fuzzy" Knight reminds all of us
in the modern technological era that real people with real instruments and real
personalities playing music that hits the gut and forces the knees to bend...it
makes one happy to be alive and in the community of other living
people."
