Regarding Smith’s previous work with Handsome and the Humbles, Tanner Rutherford of Beat Atlanta Online Magazine writes, “Songwriter and Frontman Josh Smith should be considered in conversation alongside songwriters such as Jason Isbell…” Matthew Everett of Knox Mercury writes, “Smith is a gifted songwriter, with a novelist’s eye for telling details and an ear for melody that seems instantly familiar.”
Songwriter Josh Smith brings an Appalachian airy sensibility and matches it with sophisticated prose while staying truly authentic and rootsy.
