"If you’ve ever caught one of Chris Smither’s live performances, you know it’s hard not to come away knocked out by the amount of music that comes out of one man. His guitar playing is remarkably fluid. His songs are gleaming bits of gold performed in a variety of styles."--No Depression "Smither taps his foot to keep the rhythm, much like the late blues legend John Lee Hooker. His finger-picked guitar lines are sleek, unhurried and insistent. And then there's the voice - equal parts gravel and molasses. Smither's singing sounds like a distillation of the folk and blues heroes he grew up listening to in New Orleans."--National Public Radio "Smither delivers one of the most riveting live shows you are ever likely to see. His growling vocals, badass finger picking and uniformly brilliant songs are here in spades"-- Rollingstone.com. More information: Chris Smither
