  • Description

    This is Smither's 12th recorded album since 1970 and was produced by David "Goody" Goodrich, who also produced Smither's 2003 CD, 'Train Home'. Special guests on the album, which was recorded at Signature Sounds Recording Studio in Pomfret, CT (Feb. 7-19, 2006), include Grammy Award-winning multi-instrumentalist Tim O'Brien and rising American roots stars Ollabelle.

    With this new album Chris Smiter has created a work that keeps the spirit of classic country blues legends alive while taking their blues-rooted music in breathtaking new directions with his smart lyrics and distinctive musical grooves.

    Chris Smither was raised in New Orleans and joined the Cambridge, Mass roots-blues movement in the late '60s where he forged friendships with Bonnie Raitt, Eric von Schmidt, Geoff Muldaur and others. His songs have been covered by singers including Raitt, Diana Krall and Emmylou Harris. Smither tours continuously year-round across the US, Canada, Europe and Australia.
