Editorial Reviews

From the Artist

"I have such a personal, intimate relationship with the songs," he says of his music. "As I've matured, the songs have matured. People ask me what my favorite song is and every time my answer is, `The most recent song I've written.' I feel like with every song I'm a little bit closer to explaining who I am."

Product Description

The birth of his first son, Aden Ryan, marked a turning point in Smith's personal and professional life that is clearly evident in his 2005 release, The Good Life. Although popular tracks such as "If I Could Do It Again" and "Carolina" contain the nostalgic, booze-laden imagery characteristic of much of Smith's writing, the album as a whole resonates with a familial pride and sense of fulfillment that is refreshingly new. It serves as a fitting testimony to the changes that often accompany fatherhood and reveals a maturing artist who is learning to share his inner world more effectively with his audience.

This CD is a winner! We saw Corey Smith in concert in Columbia, SC. We were impressed with his style, his appeal, and his talent. The show was a sell out! The CD is a true showcase of this incrediblely talented man. My favorite on this CD would be, Harmony. All the songs, are kick back, relax, drive with the top down, or sit on the porch with something cool to drink and ENJOY! He's not in a particular, genre he may not be country, (but he's proud to be his own man!)..

Buy this CD, you will not be disappointed!

I first saw him at a show in Charleston not too long ago and I've been hooked since then. If you haven't heard him before, I'd describe him as Southern Rock, along the lines of Ryan Adams. If you're looking for something a little different than mainstream country I'd definetly check this out. He's as good, if not better than most the stuff coming out of Nashville these days. His lyrics are the best, and he really conveys the stories in his songs. Check it out.
