| JuneBugProd | Posted: Mar 13, 2007 - 20:14 Hey about Smithers....He's alright. A great Alt bluesy type in the vane of Peter Mulvey etc. These touring guys work hard driving to gigs and all. Everyone can have a bad day! I was thinking about having a show with him in Green Bay as I have some of his agency stable mates like Steve Forbert & Stacey Earle here often. Rock On. |

yea well,, my hangup Wow then, this tells you something about impressions. I also met him, in my home town (Reading, PA) and he was nothing but gracious, open and friendly. He met and greeted everyone who waited around afterwards - easily an hour's worth. Signed my cassette tape. |

hidden in the shadow of a shady grove there's a thatched roof risin' from a poke fence picket white smoke billows from a kettle-black stove from Crocodile Man. this guys lyrics are amazing! These aren't acutally Chris Smither lyrics. They're Dave Carter lyrics. Chris covered this song after Dave's untimely passing in 2002. Chris' version is fantastic, but Dave and his partner Tracy Grammer's is excellent as well. Check them out at www.daveandtracy.com. Dave Carter was one of the most brilliant musicians and lyricists of our time, and his loss was deeply felt in the folk/roots music community. He is missed. |
| stickers11 | Posted: Dec 15, 2005 - 08:48 This KICKS! I want to be at home and give this a whirl on my stereo. |

I saw him at Falcon Ridge on this panel as well! I love Falcon Ridge. I would not miss it for anything. It makes my summer. |
| NeilBlanchard (Greater Boston area, Massachusetts) | Posted: Nov 30, 2005 - 18:14 Greetings, I am (hopefully) going to hear Chris on April 28, 2006 at the unCommon Coffeehouse in Framingham, MA. 
(click here) Scroll down....almost all the way. Neil |

http://daveandtracy.globalhosting.com/lyrics.php?uid=107 "inside the house is the hall of mirrors inside the mirror is the temple of sin and inside the temple is the face of mama and mama she know just where i been yeah, mama know exactly where her bad boy been" Smither is very convincing portraying Carter's guilty conscience. |

Afraid so. I saw him in the late 80's when I lived in slightly upstate NY and none of the tour stops were west of Ohio. Seems like that's still the case. :-( Excellent tune from a true singer-songwriter. Don't know if he's kicked the bottle or not...he was pretty bad back then. |

| radiomao (Phoenix, AZ) | Posted: Jun 21, 2005 - 14:19 Thanks, Bill! Great to hear Chris Smither again...always loved "I Feel The Same" too...in case you have that one lying around somewhere...  |
| mojopinhead | Posted: Jun 21, 2005 - 14:17 Happened to see him live a few months ago, had never heard of him before. Excellent to hear him here! |
| diane (seacoast, nh, usa) | Posted: Mar 25, 2005 - 13:47  Gee - A real toe-tapper! New artist to me, thanks RP... |
| radiojunkie (a sleepy bordertown (NY/CT)) | Posted: Mar 10, 2005 - 20:41 Okay, shoot me, but he sure sounds like Eddie Albert singing. Green Acres, anyone?  |
| RockinBlueVoodoo (Deep in the Blues) | Posted: Feb 24, 2005 - 01:29 Wow, this sounds a lot like 'I Am The Ride' off of 'Up on the Lowdown' |
| Johray63 (The Lowlands) | Posted: Feb 09, 2005 - 08:01 It must have been because he didn't have some hitsingle(s), otherwise I don't know why he isn't a "star". But as long as he's able to make a living out of his music, it's maybe better this way  |

| Pilgrim301 (Somethingville, AB) | Posted: Jan 10, 2005 - 20:15 Oh!!!! I saw this guy at the Folk Music Festival this summer. He has a fantastic sense of humor ... I love "Lola" off of this same album. Great choice, Bill! |
| LaurieBlue (Charlotte, NC) | Posted: Dec 12, 2004 - 06:35 One of the best live shows I've ever seen. Laurie |
| Leslie (Antioch, CA) | Posted: Oct 28, 2004 - 23:28 I have to thank Bonnie Raitt for introducing me to this man about 25 years ago. She's sung several of his songs on various albums. He's very special. |
| ubastard | Posted: Sep 29, 2004 - 16:00 I'm still in a state of shock at the sounds you guys are playing. Awesome. Napster has never heard of this guy. |

Yeah, I hear a bit, too. Also a little Tom Waits. |
