3.0 out of 5 stars GOOD BUT NOT BEST, Oct 12 2003

"Rocky Mountain Way" is the best cut hands down. The work is uneven, however, because there are several stinkers: "Wolf" (a depressing largo tempo can really drag you down), "Midnight Moodies" (a throaway), and "Dreams." Nevertheless, SMOKER stands head and shoulders above its predecessor, BARNSTORM.

That's my imitation of the opening vocal of "Meadows". For quite some time, it was the last tune I'd play back then when closing time came at the record store and it was played hot on the heels of "Rocky Mountain Way", with the volume cranked to 11, I might add.

We all needed that kind of break to get ourselves out of the work frame of mind and into the rest of our lives. The early '70s had much that was positive, but also plenty to worry about. The overall tone of The Smoker You Drink fit seamlessly into the fabric of early 70's life and that's a huge part of what makes it a rock classic. Joe was on a roll! This is another record that today could easily be rated 4 or even 3 stars, but in the context of its release, is a solid 5.

I am not going to review this album here, the previous reviews say all that needs to be said. I am simply voicing the long over due need to REMASTER Joe's back catalogue: 'Barnstorm', 'The Smoker You Drink...', 'So What?' How about it MCA? You did the right thing with the first 3 'James Gang' albums, particularly 'Yer Album'. It's time!

5.0 out of 5 stars Almost his finest hour
I first heard this album in 1973 at the tender age of 10 and it has stayed with me ever since.

I actually think Joe Walsh was rather lucky teeming up with such a brilliant... Read more

If you were keeping up with the rock scene in the late summer of '73 this album sounded so cool, like nothing you'd ever heard before. Read more
