4.0 out of 5 stars After Little Victories??, June 9, 2004

Nice collection overall but it falls somewhat short after
the excellent Little Victories from 93'. I've been listening
to this one more and more on the random mode on my cd player and find this much more interesting than when it first came out. I think Darden had
gone through some major life changes during these sessions
with record labels etc. so it was great to have it come out
all the same. One of the smoothest voices out there! Check
out the newer material SUNFLOWER(02') and the lastest gem CIRCO!(2004)

5.0 out of 5 stars A must-have CD, February 13, 2002

Darden Smith has backed up lots of "name" musicians, but he has gotten almost no exposure. Too bad. There are few literate songwriters who can play, sing, stay true to their muse and still produce songs with melodies that stick with you without becoming irritating. This album is one of my top 10 -- every tune is perfectly crafted, the arrangements are right, the production is spare, but the sound is rich.

I saw him play at a very small venue outside Philadelphia a few years ago -- there were about 20 people in the audience. He stepped down off the stage, sat on a stool, and took requests. You've heard the concert analogy, "It was like being in his livingroom". Well, this is the closest I've ever come to that kind of experience.

I wish some record company would recognize what this guy can do and get another record out. This one's a winner. Don't miss it.

5.0 out of 5 stars Another record hits home!, February 10, 1999

Darden Smith is clearly one of the more gifted singer/songwriters out there today. His ability to turn a phrase and make your heart break is beautifully complemented by melodies that leaving you humming for hours on end. The only way it gets better than this is to see him in person!
