Album Review: Chris Smither - All about the Bones
Chris Smither sets All about the Bones’ tone with the first cut - also the title track - from his 19th album.
With Zak Trojano’s light drumming and Chris Cheek’s spooky, serpentine saxophone adding shades of grey to Smither’s mic’d boots and acoustic guitar, the songwriter, on the cusp of his 80th birthday, contemplates what comes next. BettySoo smooths out Smither’s raspy, just-leaving-the-dentist vocals as they sing:
Grim reaper comes a-callin’/says, ‘it’s time to go’/you say, ‘OK, I’m comin’/you movin’ mighty slow/when you say, ‘I don’t belong here/they told me I was saved’/he points one bony finger/he says, ‘get back in your grave’/it’s all about the bones
While the music is uniformly misty and monochromatic, the lyrics are not all doom and gloom. The balladic “Still Believe in You” exudes positivity - or at least contentment - and “Down in Thidodaux” is an irresistible character sketch of an enigmatic fiddler in the Louisiana swamps that makes the listeners want to find the guy and join him for his regular noon beer.
Though he typically tours solo - hence being his own percussionist - Smither captures his live sound with in this expanded studio outfit, which includes piano on “Completion.”
And when Smither closes the LP with his cover of Tom Petty’s “Time to Move On,” it’s hard to know whether he chose it as a bookend to the title track or a springboard to his next project.
