Steve Smith, front man for his blues band, The Meteors, is one of the best blues guitartists around! This video was taken at the Cowboy Cafe South (now gone) in Arlington, VA on September 27, 2003. Here, The Meteors perform one of Steve's favorite originals - Stevie's Rock! This one is almost a tribute to Steve's influences: Elmore James, Hound Dog Taylor, JB Hutto, Johnny Shines and others. Possibly even Duane Allman, early Fleetwood Mac (Jeremy Spencer) and George Thorogood are in there as well! You Fat Possum fans should really enjoy the Mississippi juke sound here! Look for the Steve Smith & The Meteors CD - available through CDBaby and Amazon!
The Meteors are: Steve Smith - Lead Guitar; Glen McCarthy - Bass; Mike Sedgley - Drums; and Pete DelVitto - Harmonica (not playing during this video, but seen in the beginning walking off the stage!).
