This album shows that Smither is an exceptional writer, guitarist and singer. The bright, intricate guitar work, the driving foot-stomps, and the assured conversational interplay with a cadre of superb musicians.
Veteran folk / blues troubadour Chris Smither is now in his early 60s. With a career that spans four decades, he is one of a handful of musicians who were on the scene during the blues renaissance of the mid-'60s, greatly influencing the early work of, among others, Bob Dylan and Bonnie Raitt.
'Leave The Light on' shows that Chris Smither is an exceptional writer, guitarist and singer. The bright, intricate guitar work, the driving foot-stomps, and the assured conversational interplay with a cadre of superb musicians - including the inimitable Grammy-winner Tim O'Brien.
