MUSIC
CONNECTION MAGAZINE RAVES ABOUT LARRY
"FUZZY" KNIGHT'S BLOWIN' SMOKE RHYTHMN AND BLUES
REVUE
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."
"Cross Soul Train with
American Bandstand and you get a good idea
of
what a Blowin' Smoke Rhythm & Blues Revue show is
like!"
For nearly two decades, Blues/R&B/Soul group Blowin' Smoke has been one of
the most in-demand, successful bands on the Southern California live music
circuit. Front and center in Blowin' Smoke is its creator,
bandleader/bassist/vocalist, Larry "Fuzzy" Knight - whose impressive musical resume'
includes a decade-plus stint as bassist for one of the great SoCal bands to
emerge from the psychedelic era of the Sixties, Spirit. Knight has also
recently launched a new band project, Sky King, featuring some top-name
musicians, all the while keeping Blowin' Smoke going strong.
