	C.B. Smith is the nom de plume of veteran songwriter Carl Bethge. “Performing as C.B. Smith helps me get past my godawful stage fright,” he says. “Besides, nobody can pronounce or spell my real name. Life is way easier for Mr. Smith.” C.B. writes songs that traverse the stylistic landscape between revved-up bluegrass romps, old-school country ballads and straight-up rockers, typically telling stories about ordinary people searching for some hard-won peace of mind. “My earliest musical memory, besides church music, is listening to my mother’s radio in the kitchen. Back then you’d hear Hank Williams followed by Ray Charles. Ever since I’ve tried to digest any strain of music that turns my head around. A lot of it comes out of places like Kentucky, Memphis and Nashville, but I always try to put a Yankee spin on it.”

	When it comes to Sonny Landreth, even Eric Clapton is a fan: "He's probably the most underestimated musician on the planet, and also probably one of the most advanced." As if to back his words up with actions, Clapton honored Landreth with the #1 time-slot at his 2007 Crossroads Guitar Festival. An amazing back & forth musical conversation between these two greats can be seen on Youtube. Mark Knopfler can also be seen on Youtube, praising Sonny Landreth's slide guitar playing before they perform together. In a world where truly great guitar practitioners dot the globe like as many mountain pinnacles on our planet, Sonny Landreth's techniques seem to leave his guitar floating artfully, impossibly above. Talent in such a rarified atmosphere seems fragile & ephemeral – leaving one resolved to appreciate it while it's here, while wishing him a long, healthy and productive life!
