Singer Chris Smither sat down with NPR’s Don Gonyea to talk about his latest release “All About the Bones”.
DON GONYEA, HOST: Chris Smither learned to play music in New Orleans on his mother’s ukulele. He loved the blues as a kid, but he started his career as a folk artist in Cambridge, Mass., in the music scene there. That was almost 60 years ago.
(SOUNDBITE OF SONG, “ALL ABOUT THE BONES”)
CHRIS SMITHER: (Singing) Some will make you ugly. Others make you smile. It don’t matter, they all clatter, yeah, when they end up on the piles. All about the bones, all about the bones, all about the bones.
GONYEA: Now Smither is on the road touring to support his latest album. It’s his 20th. It’s called “All About The Bones.” We’re catching him in Madison, Wis., before his show there. Chris, welcome to WEEKEND EDITION.
