Mark Smith - Launches

A warm sensation, producing songs of a small town perspective and the flux of relationships, with a magnetic pull of wanderlust leading us to the road home. From it's first opening electric jangle you know that you're hearing something kind of special in Mark Smith. His voice is something akin to Tom Petty's, and there's a wash of crisp guitars, layered two or three thick, playing warm fuzzy Keith Richards sort of licks with solid songwriting in support. There is something being said on this record that speaks to all of us, and the fine musicianship makes the overall message so enjoyable. Mark Smith's talent is in evidence. He is a performer who loves music, and loves to share it with others.
