The former Muddy Waters drummer Willie "Big Eyes" Smith turns in an enjoyable, but unremarkable, set of Chicago blues with Bag Full of Blues. Supported by Pinetop Perkins and Fabulous Thunderbirds harpist Kim Wilson, Smith runs through a set of mid-tempo blues, combining some competent originals with covers like "Baby Please Don't Go." There's not many solos - Wilson mainly shines, while guitarists James Wheeler, Nick Moss, and Gareth Best all contribute small, pithy leads - but the grooves are nice and relaxed. Bag Full of Blues may not be a jaw-dropper, but it does have some fine moments. /Stephen Thomas Erlewine, AllMusic

Big Eyes is a master blues drummer. His playing should be taught to any drummer who has the ambition to play a decent blues groove. Anyone who has ever played with a drummer who is more or less ignorant about the idiom, knows what I mean. Thank you for posting, RR!
