WESTERN SKIES

VINYL ALBUM (Signed)

Regular price $30.00

"Open and empty." That’s how Darden Smith describes the west Texas landscape that inspired his wildly creative new multi-media project, Western Skies. Comprising a new studio record, a book of photography, lyrics, and essays, and an accompanying album of readings set to music, the collection is an immersive journey through a world both real and imagined, a place of mystery and mythology, possibility and longing. Like his photographs, Smith’s writing is steeped in isolation, though rarely lonely; timeless, yet acutely aware of the hours and minutes whizzing by like mileposts on the highway.

"A deft blend of melancholy (reminiscent of Jackson Browne’s early work) and the no-nonsense virtue of vintage JJ Cale. A most effective combination."
- Rodney Crowell
