Review

Austin's Darden Smith has worked long and hard at being soft, writing pleasant country-tinged folk that deals with matters of the heart and the thousand natural knocks that people endure. He sees friends who lack the courage to separate after years of mutually inflicted misery ("Satellite"), the anguish of broken relationships ("Dreams Don't Lie"), and he gets positively ambitious on "New Gospel," a jazzy shout of beatitude. Sometimes whimsical, other times weary, Smith's heart can be found right on his sleeve, and he brings in background singers Patty Griffin and the ever-wonderful Kim Richey to help convey his emotions. Smith claims to be getting "stronger every day"--clearly he sees his art as a healing activity, and with songs that take root as sweetly as those on Sunflower, it seems to be working. --Henry Cabot Beck
