Chris Smither is a veteran of the music industry. Accompanying himself with masterful finger-picking and amplified foot-taps, his elegant lyrics are packed with little punches that land on your heart. His well-developed story lines and diverse themes qualify as modern folk, but the blues influences are undeniable in his melody and rhythm. "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." - NPR Smither's 50-year retrospective double album, Still on the Levee, was released late last year. It showcases his signature style: utterly confident and unafraid, filled with humility, humor, a knowledge of what inevitably lies ahead, yet refusing to succumb to darkness.
