Got a request from Ric for some Chris Smither ages ago and it’s taken a while but here it is. I’m excited for his new record Time Stands Still that comes out at the end of the month.
I’ve always loved Doc Watson’s blues / folk finger-picking and someone told me to look up Chris Smither. Apparently Doc and Chris played shows together back in the ’70′s.
There is a great show from Lenox, MA 1973 that you can stream on Wolfgang’s Vault. It does require an email address to set up an account over there. He plays a nice version of the Dylan tune “Down In The Flood” you should check out.
I posted the song “Can’t Shake These Blues” over here that you can listen to.
