Although he may seem a rough unsociable man, Smiling Jack Smith has an enormous sensitivity and a very good taste for music, which can be immediately seen in this album recorded live together with Antonio Toledo on acoustic guitar The cd includes seventeen own songs, where Jack sings and also plays acoustic guitar Both musicians perform with skill and good communication between them, to round up an acoustic folk blues album, firmly based in solid foundations that never break up Smiling Jack Smith is an amazing story-teller and his stories always catch wide audiences, because they never fall into boredom or vulgarity This is a curious good combination of two very different musicians On one side Smiling Jack Smith, born in Canada but now settled in Spain, gifted with a fine sensitivity to play folk music and, on the other side, Antonio Toledo, who comes from Cádiz and usually plays jazz and flamenco tanguillos of Cadiz This is an explosive mixture to produce an honest exportable album
