A profound songwriter, Chris Smither draws deeply from the blues, American folk music, modern poets, and philosophers.
Reviewers continue to praise his dazzling guitar work, gravelly voice and songwriting.
‘Smither is an American original – a product of the musical melting pot and one of the absolute best singer-songwriters in the world.” Associated Press
‘Cast your mind back to the first time you heard Hank Williams, Big Bill Broonzy or JJ Cale and remember how good it felt. Think of the opening encounter with Leon Redbone or Leo Kottke. They say newcomers to Chris Smither’s brand of country blues-tinged southern folk experience those some emotions. It’s true!’ Maverick Magazine
‘Bathed in the flickering glow of passing headlights and neon bar signs, Smither’s roots are as blue as they come. There is plenty of misty Louisiana and Lightnin’ Hopkins in Smither’s weathered singing and unhurried picking. So fine.’ Rolling Stone
