Another cracking good blues-based guitarist on Dixiefrog - hardly surprise news ! Matt Smith is from Upstate New York and apart from standard electric guitar, he plays National Steel, 12 string, dobro, lap steel, electric mandolin and even the 'cumbus' - a Middle Eastern lute related to the 'oud'. And he plays them all really well !

He also has a great relaxed, drawling blues vocal style - and a mix of styles and influences ranging across boogie, jump jive, rock, country, and rock 'n' roll. One minute you'll hear traces of Mississippi Fred McDowell & Ry Cooder and the next, Jimi Hendrix & ZZ Top.

Matt Smith is backed by a fine bass & drums rhythm section with occasional piano. All tracks are written by him, apart from a version of Louis Jordan's "Saturday Night Fish Fry", and the album is produced by none other than Popa Chubby - who featured him on both volumes of "Presents New York City Blues" (both available on Dixiefrog).
