album coverJIM SMART: Seven Fathoms

His string tinged rock music lets your brain wander the fine line balance between the pain of old timey musicals and the foolish pleasures of acoustic punk rock, with power pop nods to artists like the Kinks, the Decemberists, Wilco, and Nick Drake.

Guitar and Pen: Big Bad World

Thursday

Big Bad World

Today I got some feedback on one of my new songs from a songwriter I admire in Scotland. It's interesting that he picked this one out. It's quite a weird little tune, a bit sophisticated for a lullaby. Check out his music at soundclick.com under "Ian Simpson".

Hi Jim,

Had Big Bad World blasting out of the class speakers
last night while I was helping out at the annual show
(it was Grease) - I agree you've stepped up another
level. The recording is even better than last time and
the arrangement - on that song in particular - is
amazing.
