Detailed Description
One More Night
DVD
On a late Spring evening in 2007, Chris Smither performed two concerts for an intimate audience in Lyme, Connecticut. These shows, as well as footage from a rare concert with a full band at The Somerville Theatre in Boston and a personal interview, come together on this long-awaited concert DVD.
Honing a synthesis of folk and blues for more than 40 years, Chris Smither is truly an American original. His music draws deeply from blues and American folk music, modern poets and humanist philosophers. A profound songwriter, a blistering guitarist and, as he puts it, a "one-man band to the bone," Chris melds the styles of his two major influences, Lightnin' Hopkins and Mississippi John Hurt into his own signature guitar sound. Critically acclaimed, Chris tours solo all over the glove, performing 150+ concerts a year. Perhaps known best for having written the songs "Love You Like a Man" and "I Feel the Same (both recorded by Bonnie Raitt), Chris' music has also been covered by John Mayall, Emmylou Harris, and most recently, jazz great Diana Krall. Reviewers praise his dazzling guitar work, gravelly voice, and sophisticated songwriting.
