Chris Smither More From The Levee

More From The Levee is the 18th album from iconic bluesman Chris Smither. Deemed "one of the absolute best singer-songwriters in the world" (Associated Press), the album is a brilliant continuation of Smither's 50-year retrospective album, Still On The Levee (2014). Reconnecting with his roots, Smither recorded the career-spanning album in New Orleans at the fabled Music Shed. What resulted were 24 reimagined takes from Smither's vast career with help from very special guests including the legendary Allen Toussaint and Loudon Wainwright III. More From The Levee contains ten of these gems including fan favorites Drive You Home Again, Caveman, and a new Smither original titled What I Do. Producer Dave Goodrich says, 'We still had extraordinary performances left in the vault, another irreducible collection of Chris's songs full of great performances, intimate and immediate. It's a truly special recording, a snapshot of some powerful music-making.'

This is a specially packaged 2 CD set celebrating the 50th anniversary of Chris Smither s career. These are newly recorded versions of Smither s best material, recorded in his hometown of New Orleans with an all-star band and special guests including Allen Toussaint and Loudon Wainwright. Other guest appearances include Kris Delmhorst and members of renowned rock band Morphine. Chris Smither has the soul of a poet, the supple fingers of a guitar god and the voice of a sage. Will appeal to fans of Bonnie Raitt, Eric Clapton, JJ Cale, and Keb Mo.
