The story behind the song

"Smokin'" emerged from the collaborative efforts of Tom Scholz and Brad Delp, making it one of the few songs on Boston's debut album not solely penned by Scholz. The song's origins trace back to the early 1970s, as Scholz worked on it in his basement before the band secured a record contract. An earlier version from 1973, titled "Shakin'," suggests the song originally conveyed a different meaning. This track captures the raw energy of early rock, inviting you to channel that feeling of unbridled musical exploration.
