Album Description A gorgeous lost treasure from 1973 reissued courtesy of Heavenly's Jeff Barrett, Chris Smither's Honeysuckle Dog is a great singer/songwriter album in the musical tradition of Tim Hardin, Gene Clark, Townes Van Zandt and Tim Buckley. Rich in country soul and featuring great players like Mike Mainieri (vibes), Ralph McDonald (percussion), Patti Austin (vocals) and the guitar genius of Lowell George, Honeysuckle Dog is an absolute listening treat dominated by Smither's delicate, intricate guitar work.

CD ReviewsIt's 1973, not 2004 Theresa J. Alsup | Los Angeles, CA | 03/17/2004 (5 out of 5 stars) "I thought this album was a follow on to the excellent Train Home, but once I got past the shock when I played the first track (Smither's voice is higher and less mellow in 1973) I loved it. It's like being shown photos of your lover as a child-- this one is so sweet you just want to carry it around with you. Lonely Time is seriously sexy, and Braden River sparkles. This is great stuff." Every Chain has a weak link N. Langston | Sarasota, Florida United States | 07/07/2004 (3 out of 5 stars) "I am a loyal Chris smither fan and have been that way since I was 2. But this Cd is total weak compaired to almost all of his other CDs. Most of the songs have no real fealling to them, which is very unusual for Chris. Plus most of the tracks are horribly over-Produced. This just makes it seem like he was forced to record and had no new ideas. I think that the main reason that this album was stored away for 30 plus years was because of it's weakness. try getting any other Chris Smither Cd besides this one." Long Time Comin' ! Frank Connolly | Arvada, Colorado USA | 04/03/2004 (4 out of 5 stars) "31 years late . . . but VERY COOL! I've been waitin' on this release for quite awhile.
The intrigue of the guest artists alone starts you thirsting. A few choice licks by "The Greatest Feat of them" all is a special treat! I've noticed that 5 Stars are thrown out there far to frivolously on this site. There are two reasons that hold that last star out of my rating . . . . .1: This album could've started on song #2 and instantly improved. ( Not that song #1 sucks, but it just doesn't fit the feel of the rest of the album).2: The background noise is much more tolerable with no snaps, crackles or pops . . . but it's still background noise. ( In fairness, it does "bring you back to the day" a bit).Bottom Line . . . this is an excellent album, and I'd recommend it to most anyone." |
