Smoke

"Smoke" is a collaboration between guitarist Richard Drueding and drummer/percussionist Jim Hamilton. A collection of original compositions and cover songs, this album features a wide array of styles from folk to latin to blues to jazz. Some tracks are simple guitar and drum duets, while others use overdubs to create a larger sound. Recorded primarily at Jim's Rittenhouse Sound Works in Philadelphia, the two have been able to fashion a kind of sonic landscape that is full and lush and inviting to the listener. "These complex and colorful compositions clearly have stories to tell."
