(2014) Chris Smither - Still On the Levee (2 CD)
Wikipedia: William Christopher Smither (born November 11, 1944) is an American folk/blues singer, guitarist, and songwriter. His music draws deeply from the blues, American folk music, modern poets and philosophers. Review: Blues-folk icon Chris Smither has long been revered for both his guitar prowess and his way with a lyric, inspiring artists from Bonnie Raitt and John Mayall to Emmylou Harris and Diana Krall. As Smither marks his 50th year of music-making in 2014, the New Orleans-raised troubadour takes a look back at his career with Still On the Levee, a two-CD retrospective releasing on Mighty Albert/Signature Sounds. Reconnecting with his roots, Smither recorded Still on the Levee at New Orleansâ™ Music Shed with longtime producer David Goodrich. Their aim was to give fresh perspective to a selection of songs from his vast career — from “Devil Got Your Man,” his first composition, to recent originals. Among those who joined him on the project are famed pianist Allen Toussaint, members of the band Morphine and fellow folk-Americana artists Wainwright, Kris Delmhorst and Rusty Belle. Itâ™s also a family affair, with backing-vocal contributions by Smitherâ™s sister, Catherine Norr, and fiddling by his daughter, Robin.
