Pretty sure that’s Kirby Smart.

Uh, the coach?

dgasser.bsky.social•52 days ago

Love him. Another worthy artist if you like this style is Barton Carroll:

It sounds like two guitars are playing at the same time

I have seen Chris 4 or 5 times, he's so joyful when he plays. One of the true unappreciated greats.

Same, which is ironic, because the music is so often melancholy. His version of Killing the Blues kills me.

I've been devouring everything I can find online, he seems like such a gentle and happy person

failingup.bsky.social•52 days ago

Do you like Mississippi John Hurt? He's the only other musician I've ever heard who seems able to sing the blues happily without feeling inauthentic.

ianboudreau.com•52 days ago

I don't think I'm super familiar with him, I'll have to check him out! Any specific recommendations?

Avalon Blues: Complete Okeh Recordings is a great intro.

Make me a palette on your floor is a classic

amgamble.bsky.social•52 days ago

He is so great 😊

tehmud.bsky.social•52 days ago

Well you could always make a deal with the devil unless you used yours up already.

sufficiently skilled fingerpicking is indistinguishable from magic

Ever seen Pat Donahue play Maple Leaf Rag? https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=apkBD7wIaWY

Chris Smither is great! Love this one personally - always hits in the feels.

oddletters.bsky.social•52 days ago

aw hell yeah i love this one. i saw smither play the philadelphia folk festival when i was a kid

cjdcat.bsky.social•52 days ago

Oh my god the ache in his vocal
delivery, it’s so good.

rstevies.bsky.social•52 days ago

Isn't it? I'm mostly a metal guy, but I got a thing for this soulful blues stuff..

This is the style of guitar I gravitated to when I was a kid. Bruce Cockburn acoustical guitar in particular, but also syncopated ragtime etc. Nerve damage to my chording hand when I was 18 killed guitar for me :(
