About the Artist

The Stranger, Seattle, Feb 1 2001

So Many Faces represents a surprising improvement from the band's debut. An appealing layer of dust has settled on Left Hand Smoke's blues-rock sound and on lead singer Ben Mish's vocal chords, resulting in a more assured, rootsy sound, complete with organ, slide guidar, and slack rock sensibility reminiscent of early Rolling Stones. Even more promising is the song-writing, which is downright inspired at times; Left Hand Smoke has already traveled an important mile, but So Many Faces gives the impression that this band won't stay put for long.

5.0 out of 5 stars Left Hand Smoke Is Amazing!, August 10, 2001

By A Customer

Left Hand Smoke really knows what music is about and I think they will continue making people feel good with their songs for a long time. They are one of my all time favorite bands. I saw them in concert and they kept the crowd going all night long, singing and dancing. Left Hand Smoke has it all. Good looks, great music, and all together great guys. They are totally the band to watch out for in the future. LHS will be huge!

5.0 out of 5 stars Probably not possible to get too much of 'So Many...', March 29, 2002

If the first album made you a glutton for groove, put a permanent hold on any plans for cutting back.
Left Hand Smoke has brought another prime cut to the table with `So Many Faces,' making it clear to anyone paying attention that a growing number of appetites for rock n' roll with unrelenting soul will remain satisfied. This second effort goes beyond what is normally considered first rate.
When you are in the fortunate position of understanding this slice of greatness, stay in line because the getting will be good for a long time. If you haven't heard Left Hand Smoke yet, consider yourself missing out and go get yourself some while they are still at an arms reach.

5.0 out of 5 stars better than the first, June 20, 2001

This album is amazing. It has the gritty, blues-rock that Left Hand Smoke had in their first album, but this is more refined. If you like great guitar and piano work, and love the blue-rock genre then this one should be on your buy list.
