Drop The Hammer” is a culmination of Kenny’s true vision. The lyrics, arrangements, sounds, and feel are a direct result of his life experiences as a musician and simply a person who grew up in the same house where Muddy Waters once lived in Chicago. Kenny is giving you his music on his terms, literally a piece of his being and soul.
Kenny Smith was unquestionably born into blues royalty. He grew up in the same house where Muddy Waters once lived in Chicago, the home of the blues. Throughout his childhood, Kenny was surrounded by Muddy and his friends, which included his own father, Willie “Big Eyes” Smith (1936-2011). These same blues icons helped mold him into the person and drummer he is today and later in life asked him to provide his famous backbeat on some of the largest and most respected stages and recordings in the world. Kenny has played over 9,500 live performances to date and has earned the right to wear that royal blues crown. His father, Willie “Big Eyes” Smith, played drums for the Muddy Waters’ Band in the early 1960’s and then again from 1968 through 1980 and was featured on all of Muddy’s Grammy winning albums. Kenny “Beedy Eyes” Smith, one of the best known living blues drummers today, learned 99% of what he knows about drumming from his father and was also inspired by acclaimed drummers: Odie Payne, Fred Below, Earl Phillips, Louie Bellson, S.P. Leary, Francis Clay and Art Blakey, Sonny Payne, Clifton James and many others who paved the way. And with those experiences Kenny has revitalized and created new interpretations of the blues drummers as he pushes blues drumming to new innovative and tradition styles.
Musicians include Greg Guy, son of blues legend and Rock & Roll Hall of Famer, Buddy Guy; Sugar Blue, world renowned harmonica player who has recorded with the Rolling Stones; Felton Crews one of Chicago's top bass players who has toured with jazz great Miles Davis and blues musician Charlie Musselwhite; Billy Flynn on guitar; Guy King on guitar; Ari Seder on guitar; Luca Chiellini on piano, organ, and keyboard; Omar Coleman on harmonica; Nelson Strange on guitar and Andrea Miologos, Dana Gordon and Kim Johnson- bring fierce and colorful vocals to each and every song.
