he irony of being voted among the Most Promising New Artists of 1960 was probably not lost on Warren Smith, who had been beating his head against the wall, trying to get a decent break for the previous five years. He chose a mythic place to start and -for a while- it looked as though Smith would follow some of his illustrious labelmates and become a household name. He had the looks, the talent, the will to succeed and was indisputably in the right place at the right time. However, for most of his affiliation with Sun Records, Warren Smith's career represented more promise than fulfilment.

By his own account, Smith was born in Humphreys Co., Mississippi near Yazoo City on February 7, 1933, although it is probable that he lopped a year off his age and was actually born in 1932. His parents, Ioda and Willie War-ren Smith, divorced when he was young; his mother stayed in the Louise-Greenwood area and his father went to Lexington, Mississippi to work as a truck driver. Smith was brought up by his grandparents near Louise where they farmed and operated a small country store.

He went into the Air Force in 1950 after a spell as a machinist. Stationed in San Antonio, Texas he took up the guitar to while away the evenings. By the time of his discharge, he was fairly determined to make a career out of music. It certainly represented a more attractive option than most of the others open to a poor white Mississip-pi boy with little formal education. With music on his mind, Smith headed for the bright lights of Memphis and the brighter lights of West Memphis, Arkansas...
