Smith, Sonny
100 Records, Vol.3
Sonny Smith is one of the most interesting artists of
recent times. Writer and novelist, it was not until midthirties
he decided to pick up a guitar and start singing
songs, always well surrounded by artists such as Jolie
Holland, Neko Case, Mark Eitzel (American Music Club),
Edith Frost or Andy Cabic (Vetiver).
But it was not until he formed Sonny and the Sunsets in
2007 that his music exploded around the world. His fi rst
blockbuster was ,Tomorrow its alright" (Fat Possum,
Soft Abuse, 2010), an LP that showed a songbook
of drank doo-wop, most innocent garage, the Everly
Brothers, Jonathan Richman, girl-groups from the 60s
and the more festive songs of a Harry Smith anthology.
Those infl uences were adorned with fresh sounds based
on glorious choruses, handclaps, lo-fi vocal games and
the company of some of the brilliant musicians of his
generation
