Duster Bennett - Smiling Like I'm Happy

"One of the unsung heroes of British blues, this one-man band was a fine harmonica player and singer, a decent guitarist, and a soulful enough singer to make one overlook his distinctly unbluesy high voice. The opening tune 'Worried Mind' — just Duster on harp, guitar, voice, high-hat and kick drum — is a marvelously sloppy shuffle romp that holds its own with the Fabulous Thunderbirds' work ten years hence. On other tracks Bennett is backed by three-fourths of the original Fleetwood Mac, who provide simple, effective support without stealing any limelight; solos are kept to a minimum. Originals 'My Lucky Day' (with chromatic harmonica) and 'Jumping at Shadows' (which Mac would later cover) are absolutely outstanding, and Duster does justice to Magic Sam's 'My Love Is Your Love.'" — All Music Guide. 180-gram vinyl with standard sleeve. 

Worried Mind

Life is a dirty deal

Country jam

Trying to paint it in the sky

Times like these

My lucky day

Got a tongue in your head

Jumping at shadows

40 minutes from town

Shame shame shame

My love is your love

Shady little baby
