Smokin' (Boston song)
"Smokin'" is a rock song by the American rock band Boston, released as the b-side to the band's first single, "More Than a Feeling." Like most of the tracks from the group's debut album, it has become a staple on classic rock radio. It has also been covered by other bands, including Anthrax.
==History==
The song was a collaborative effort between Tom Scholz, the band's mastermind, who had recently hired lead singer Brad Delp, and one of the two songs on the first Boston LP not written by Scholz alone. Delp's singing style mixed with Scholz's musical style in this song helped their eponymous first album to sell over 17 million copies. It was one of the songs Scholz started writing in the early 1970s several years prior to the release of ''Boston''. From early demo tapes made in his basement, some with Delp, an early version of the song written and recorded in 1973, called "Shakin'", appears from the Mother's Milk Sessions. This tape reveals that originally, the song had a different meaning. It was also featured on the popular 2004 videogame ''Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas'' in its classic Rock station K-DST.
Writing in 2008, Kevin Smith of the ''Arizona Daily Star'' described "Smokin'" as a "radio standard." MusicTap's review of ''Boston'' noted that "Smokin'" as one of the songs from the album to become an FM radio staple, helping the album sell 17 million copies.〔(【引用サイトリンク】publisher=thirdstage.ca )〕 Scott Tady of ''Beaver County Times'' described "Smokin'," "Rock and Roll Band" and Boston's first four singles as having "helped set the foundation for classic-rock radio." Denise Lavoie of the Associated Press singled out "Smokin'" and "More Than a Feeling" as the hits for which Boston is best known.
The song is featured in the movie ''The Virgin Suicides'' as Trip Fontaine walks down the hallway. ''The New Rolling Stone Album Guide'' called "Smokin'" a "cleaned-up boogey () crowd pleaser..." Scholz described the beginning of the song as being a vaguely ZZ Top-ish boogie.〔(【引用サイトリンク】author=Scholz, T. )〕
