Profound and poetic, Chris Smither finds deep inspiration in the blues, American folk music, modern poets and philosophers. Reviewer praise his smoothly weathered southern drawl and distinctive, acoustic finger-picking style. “Smither is an American original, product of the musical melting pot, and one of the absolute best singer-songwriters in the world.” [AP] His songs have been recorded by Bonnie Raitt, Emmylou Harris, Diana Krall, and he was recently feted with an all-star tribute featuring artists including Josh Ritter, Loudon Wainwright III, Dave Alvin, Peter Case and Raitt.
