All About The Bones

The sound and imagery of Chris Smithers 20th album is as elemental as the inky black shadows cast by a shockingly bright moon. The listener is welcomed into some gothic mansion on an imaginary New Orleans street, and there in the lamplit parlor confronts Smithers inimitable propulsive guitar and rumbling baritone, joined seamlessly to producer David Goodrichs carpetbag of instruments, Zak Trojanos rock-steady drumming, BettySoos diaphanous harmony vocals, and the mournful flood of Jazz legend Chris Cheeks saxophone. Smither deemed One of the absolute best singer-songwriters in the world (Associated Press) is an American original whose genius is both in his effortless, distinctive, rippling guitar and in his reimagining of the acoustic blues as a vehicle for rich, philosophically complex lyrics. The light given off from the music and writing on All About The Bones casts our own lives into a sublime and welcome clarity.
