Fred Smith – Texas

“It is about time Australia caught up with Fred Smith. This remarkable singer-songwriter – who at various times reveals influences that range from Paul Kelly via Lou Reed to Loudon Wainwright III to Leonard Cohen – keeps releasing amazingly accomplished albums. His latest (Texas) is the product of three years playing the US East Coast circuit. It is a wonderful, quirky and irreverent look at the United States and its idiosyncrasies...This album is more than a memento of Smith’s American experience.  He has a love–hate relationship with America, which he has neatly coupled to a wry and profound understanding of that complex society.”

Warwick McFadyen , the Sunday Age, 4 April 2008 
"Fred Smith is one of this country's most literate, humorous, intelligent and empathic songwriters. "
