  • Description

    With Marathon, Darden Smith evocatively captures the spare, spacious mood of the American West: barren mountains in the distance, parched winds gathering from Mexico, deserted towns along desolate highways, gritty hotel rooms reminding of lost love. Marathon (co-produced with Michael Ramos) blend acoustic guitar, acoustic bass, pedal steel, accordion and trumpet with mesmerizing lyrics. Marathon, named after a remote West Texas town, is in many ways a return to form, revealing Smith’s deep roots in his home state. From the opening rumble of a far-off train to the pedal steel’s final cry, Marathon casts an elegant spell that lingers long after its final track. Hailed by critics as “a singer-songwriter blessed with an uncommon degree of intelligence, depth, and compassion� (All Music Guide) and “an artist beyond category� (No Depression), Smith has long enjoyed broad appeal on both the British and American music scenes. Tracks:Marathon/Sierra Diablo/Bull By The Horns/Vertigo/Don't It Go To Show/Make It Back To You/Mortal Coil/Marathon Sky/Truth Of the Rooster/That Water/Over My Beating Heart/Escalator/75 Miles of Nothing
