Following the September 12 the performance Taylor made his way of Smith' Olde Bar to jam with LMBO and his old college pals.

Hicks back for the Olde gang

A year ago, an unknown Taylor Hicks played Midtown’s Smith’s Olde Bar before a handful of his old college buddies.

On Tuesday night, “American Idol” winner Hicks returned to Smith’s, playing more than 90 minutes of blues and soul before 150-plus fans, mostly ga-ga middle-aged women snapping pictures galore.

About three hours after finishing the “Idols Live!” concert at the sold-out Arena at Gwinnett, Hicks hit the stage with his old band, the Little Memphis Blues Orchestra, which has been shadowing the tour the past two months.

The gray-haired crooner, dressed in a tan jacket, blue button-down shirt, jeans and alligator shoes, gave fans who paid $15 a full-fledged concert of mostly bluesy originals. He brought on stage three of his college musician friends to jam with him and even whipped out his trademark harmonica.

At one point, he name-checked, of all cities, Doraville, and riffed a bit of Louis Armstrong’s “What a Wonderful World.” He finished the gig at 2:30 a.m. sitting in a chair caressing one of his favorite songs of all time: “Georgia on My Mind.”
