I have often heard voices and comments that were claiming for a new album of this Texas singer, guitarist and composer called Holland K Smith Finally there has been published this new cd, that shows all Smith’s creative abilities he displays with his relevant vocal qualities and a restrained but, at the same time, powerful, elegant and remarkable guitar technique In this cd Holland has decided to include a mixture of sounds, ranging from blues to jazz, together with some Latin details and quite a good dose of roots-rockin’ blues, as well as some different aspects of soul music Holland K Smith is a serious musician who takes his work with an enormous responsibility, so he does not leave anything to improvisation or fate The musicians involved in this excellent cd are Holland K Smith guitars and vocals, Gentleman John Street keyboards, Wes Starr drums, Eric Przygocki and Ronnie James Webber bass, Ron Jones saxos, Chaz Marie vocal harmonies and the special collaboration of Anson Funderburgh on guitar in one song As Tom Hyslop says in Blues Revue, this is an album specially devoted to people who approach Americana music with a real serious interest
