""I think these tunes represent a total picture of Doug Smith's superb technique and compositional skills. The selections are accessible to any listener, yet showcase the remarkable talent that Doug possesses." Dick Musil, music marketing consultant.I enjoy DEEP HEART more with every listening. What a perfect title because it truly touches my heart deeply. I've found that only a few cds have the ascendency to hold our minds and hearts again and again. The cds that seem to do this for me the most, tend to be instrumental. Doug Smith is a skilled, dedicated, modest and enthralling player of his custom Goodall guitar that he regards as "his true voice." What a beautiful voice he has!Here are the tracks and every one is a lovely treasure Doug makes his own:
1 Mystic Morning
2 Nights in White Satin*
3 Two Handed Paradox
4 Ebb Tide/Stranger on the Shore*
5 Highway 26 (Sidewalk Cafe)
6 The Rose and the Pearl*
7 I Swear*
8 The Jig is Up
9 Deep Heart*
10 I Only Have Eyes For You
(Astericks on some of my very favorites. It was hard to choose!)"Pure Music, plain and simple...This album is a gift from his heart to yours. May it deepen your awareness of wonder and broaden your listening to the music of life."If you love the acoustic guitar and Music that lifts your heart and touches your spirit, then this is for you.Soar!"
