My album of the week would happily go to Micah Blue Smaldone's opus Hither
& Thither. The 1st time I heard this a couple of years ago I was blown away.
For some reason I never banged on about it at the time.... was probably busy or
something. Shame cos it's a great record. He plays a steel guitar and he fits in
somewhere between Jack Rose, Charlie Parr and Al Duvall (without
the comedy). Incredible songs.... a fine fine talent indeed and there's only 500
of these puppies on vinyl (though we have the CD in stock!)
Love this record? Hate it? Tell us.
