The D. Smith Blues Band - News
Spring 2008
Our new CD Life is Good is here! In was a long time in the making
but we feel it has been worth the wait. At 15 songs and over 70 minutes of
music it is a virtual D. Smith epic. Of the 15 songs, 10 are D. Smith
originals plus 2 songs written by friends of ours. In addition to the core
band, Life is Good also features several of our friends on
piano, guitar, tenor sax and percussion.
