This atmospheric masterpiece finds Darden Smith exploring with some interesting sounds and it more than works. From beginning to end this new "Circo" takes you on a journey of musical excellence and the moods each song sets up, you just don't find very often anymore. Listen to Darden and Kim Richey blend their voices together in the first single "Make love so hard", just a beautiful example of the rewards you'll find giving this fine set repeated listens. One of the best so far this year. Like the best of Jackson Browne from the 70's & 80's, I haven't heard a male singer/songwriter write like this If you dig the likes of David Grey, Lyle Lovett, Damien Rice, this new collection will open your eyes.
