Duster Bennett was a British blues singer and musician. Based in London, he started out working as a session harmonica player and member of John Mayall's Bluesbreakers. His first album Smiling Like I'm Happy saw him playing as a one-man band, playing a bass drum with his foot and blowing a harmonica on a rack while strumming a 1952 Les Paul Goldtop guitar given to him in 1968 by Peter Green. Backed by his girlfriend Stella Sutton and the original Fleetwood Mac on three tracks, the album was well received.
Bennett's music was country blues with the occasional gospel music offering. He recorded three albums and a string of singles for Blues Horizon, all featured on this 2 CD compilation at mid-price. He remained popular on the local blues club scene until his death in a car crash in March 1976.
