supporting Blue Smoke

Ezidocs supports the work of Blue Smoke Records in modernising the legendary Blue Smoke music of Pixie Williams. When this music hit the airwaves in 1948 it was an instant hit - only knocked off the NZ charts by Bing Crosby and something about a white Christmas. Blue Smoke was THE first NZ pop song - wholly, written, sung, and produced in NZ.

Today the team at BSR has reworked the original with the voice of modern blues artist, Shelley Hirini. It is a beautiful rendition, preserving the spirit of the music but bringing in a modern and high def polish. It is deserving of anthem status, I applaud the initiative and thank them for breathing new life to it to keep the memories alive and relevant to a new audience.
