My
brother and musical partner passed away in 1996. As
a celebration of his music and of our band that we
started in 1973, The Cypress Swamp Stompers, I produced
this cd which features that band and some of Malcolm's
solo performances. In 2001, Zeke, the bass player
in the Stompers, also passed away. So now this cd
also honors Zeke's memory.
Malcolm
Smith - A Tribute and Treasure, vol. 1
Produced by Becky Smith
Celebrating
Malcolm’s Diverse Musical Spirit.
Malcolm passed away suddenly on October 27, 1996, leaving
several musical projects undone. He had always wanted
his old band The Cypress Swamp Stompers
to make a recording and he was just starting on a Flamenco
guitar project. Some of Malcolm’s many friends
never heard him play these styles and some will have
fond memories of seeing the Stompers perform.
Malcolm was a musician that was constantly exploring
and branching out in any musical direction that suited
his fancy.
The Stomper
section of the cd is from a live 1980 performance
and features Malcolm's stage chatter along with songs
he wrote, co-wrote and ones that he really enjoyed singing
and playing. It is like going back in time to an evening
with The Cypress Swamp Stompers.
