Critically acclaimed and Americana Award-winning singer-songwriter Mindy Smith's sixth studio album, Quiet Town, brings a treasured musical voice back into the spotlight. For Quiet Town, her first album of new material in 12 years, Smith called on producer and musician Neilson Hubbard, alongside engineer Dylan Alldredge. Hubbard enlisted guitarists Will Kimbrough, Megan McCormick, and Juan Solorzano, bassist Lex Price, Danny Mitchell on keys and horns, and a host of acclaimed vocalists for the background vocals, including Maureen Murphy, Nickie Conley, Jodi Seyfried, Matraca Berg, Kate York, and Park Chisolm. Smith's talent for expressing the most human of vulnerabilities is on full display on the new album. Beyond the title track, other album highlights include "Jericho," co-written with esteemed artist and Nashville Songwriters Hall of Fame songwriter Matraca Berg, which gives voice to anticipation of impending life changes of monumental import; "I'd Rather Be a Bridge," a plea for compassion and connection; and "Farther Than We Should Have," co-written with Natalie Hemby and K.S. Rhoads. The latter is a song about overcoming the deck stacked against kindred spirits who together trek through a difficult journey and find footing beyond beating the odds.
