  • Description

    With Marathon, Darden Smith evocatively captures the spare, spacious mood of the American West: barren mountains in the distance, parched winds gathering from Mexico, deserted towns along desolate highways, gritty hotel rooms reminding of lost love. Marathon (co-produced with Michael Ramos) blend acoustic guitar, acoustic bass, pedal steel, accordion and trumpet with mesmerizing lyrics. Marathon, named after a remote West Texas town, is in many ways a return to form, revealing Smith’s deep roots in his home state. From the opening rumble of a far-off train to the pedal steel’s final cry, Marathon casts an elegant spell that lingers long after its final track. Hailed by critics as “a singer-songwriter blessed with an uncommon degree of intelligence, depth, and compassion” (All Music Guide) and “an artist beyond category” (No Depression), Smith has long enjoyed broad appeal on both the British and American music scenes.
