I had to park four blocks further away today…on my walk in to do the show, I (1) got involved in a March of Dimes walk (2) had a detour into a Mifflin Street Block Party and (3) well, three is yet to be remembered. I want to thank Bill “Smitty” Smith of the group Truth & Salvage CO. for making some time to talk about their upcoming show in Madison on 5/8, the debut album produced by Chris Robinson of the Black Crowes (and they have the first album on the Crowes label Silver Arrow) and their recent tour with the Avett Brothers.
