The Jesse Ray Smith Interview: That Bay Area Sound, Music as a Way to Cope, and the Definition of a Great Album

Today we have Jesse Ray Smith. He’s a singer-songwriter out of California. His sound is reminiscent of those famous crossovers from the 70s like Fleetwood Mac, Joe Cocker, Eagles, and Jackson Browne with a fresh take. It’s not a carbon copy of that sound, but a resurgence with creative compositions, lyrics, melody and production good enough to rival. Basically they’re just good songs. We’re ecstatic to have Jesse Ray Smith. Support the show AmericanaMusic.com Your Source for Americana...
