Liner notes
A guitar in the hands of a master, who loves country music, can make you cry, dance, laugh or sing. On the Canadian country music scene the master is my friend Smiley Bates. Not only is he a recognized expert on the flat top guitar, lead guitar and dobro but for good measure Smiley also plays mandolin, fiddle and some of the best “Bluegrass” five string banjo you will hear anywhere.

Touring Canada, Smiley sings and plays with a style and feeling that attracts new fans wherever he performs. If you are already a fan, as I am, then you know what I’m talking about; but if this is your first Smiley Bates album and you are a lover of real country music, you are in for a treat.
