"Duster was a star of then late sixties British blues revival, eschewing the electric directions taken by contemporaries such as Fleetwood Mac and Savoy Brown by performing solo and, initially at least, acoustic. This 2-CD set contains his three original albums, Smiling Like I'm Happy, Bright Lights- and 12 db's plus a clutch of singles - all forty-four tracks remastered by Duncan Cowell and Blue Horizon boss and Duster's original producer Mike Vernon. Tragically, Bennett was killed in a traffic accident in 1976 aged just twenty-nine ... As the blues boom gave way to glam and prog, Blue Horizon lost its raison d'être. Bennett went on to record three more albums for other labels moving away from the blues but it's fair to say that this set represents the pure Duster Bennett. He still delights and may offer you a few surprises".
