A folk blues troubadour, a real ‘story teller’ and an inveterate ‘rolling stone’, this is ‘Smiling’ Jack Smith Most of you will wonder what brings a Canadian/American man to a country like Spain, but he is the only one who knows the answer Gifted with a fine sensitivity, Jack brings us his latest work recorded in the spirit of a wandering poet, who at the same time knows exactly where his life is going Jack knows the way perfectly, even though it may sometimes seem otherwise Smith sings about life, love, everyday problems, without the slightest worry about what people will think of him, he always does what he wants to do and he knows how to get it done because, as Schopenhauer said, Half of our worries and anxieties arise by concern for the opinion of the others Definitely this is not the case with our blues poet For this album Smith has the valuable collaboration of the excellent guitar player David Gwynn, who rounds out the whole work to make both guitar players sound interwoven, effective and spontaneous Ten well built songs deeply based on blues, neofolk and Americana
