- Earlier this spring, American acoustic folk-blues treasure Chris Smither stopped by the AG studios to play a couple of songs off Call Me Lucky, his first release of all-new studio material since 2012’s Hundred Dollar Valentine.
Experiencing Smither’s dazzling fingerpicking and songwriting prowess first-hand makes it easy to see why he’s been a mainstay on the folk club/coffeehouse/festival circuit since the 1960s-and why heavyweights such as Bonnie Raitt, Emmylou Harris, Mary Gauthier, and Peter Case, to name just a few, have been drawn to his songs.
In this Session, Smither performs three hauntingly beautiful tunes: “The Blame’s On Me,” “By the Numbers," and “Everything on Top.” Call us lucky!
Chris Smither is an original with immense talent , intelligent lyrics and a sly , subtle sense of humor.
Great live performer.
Wow, got drawn in by the amazing fingerstyle and then my head exploded with the lyrics. How in the world have I not heard Smither before this?! This sent me into a manic spiral of watching--slackjawed--his youtube clips. Amazing songwriter and player. Don't see that too often. He got a new fan for life today.
Mark Holter I feel exactly the same!!
Same thing happened to me a while ago..kinda like discovering plutonium by accident!
go get the new album! it's simply fantastic! one of the last great songwriters!!
Enjoyed it very much, nice right hand! l
Bonnie Raitt has said that Chris Smither is "her Eric Clapton" .....I totally get that--in fact he's my ec now too.
