Smokey has been a vocalist in Spade Cooley's Orchestra and in Tex Williams' Western Caravan. Later he even took over Tex's band and... you guessed it. The result is tops! Unbelievable great Western Swing music is what you can expect in true original crisp Mono sound. Smokey has been a great song writer as well. For instance, he wrote Ferlin Husky's biggest hit "GONE".
