Video by Mackenzie Lenora

Reviews CCD 11105

On this release Smith's crisp guitar and soulful vocals are all present and correct but Smith has added full horn and string sections which makes for an intoxicating mix. There are echoes of BB and Albert King in Smith's punchy guitar style and opener “Bad Side” builds superbly …read more
