Deep Tracks (2018)

Debi Smith mines her recordings

painting of a woman's face

Songs spanning Debi's career, including some songs she recorded live and with The Four Bitchin' Babes, and some new tunes never released. "The Bodhran Lesson Song, "Little Stars," If You Don't Listen," and "Shadow" are stand out tracks. It is a sampling of Deep Tracks in every sense: from past tracks (& technology!) never released, live tracks tucked away in the vaults, a few tracks buried deep on other releases, to new tracks delving into deeper thoughts and topics.

"Different" is a song inspired by Debi's son with autism and the great minds that think differently; "Grandma's Dust Bowl Diary," inspired by her Nebraskan Grandmother’s writings; "Caverns" about an un-beckoned memory; "The Garden," a healing meditation; "Gone, Gone," dedicated to the memory of Doc and Merle Watson (who gave Debi's sister Megan and her, The Smith Sisters, a start in their career); "Comin' Home," about a drive home from touring; "The Bodhran Lesson Song," Debi's Bodhran history, complete with lesson; an early Smith Sisters recording; and "Little Stars” with The Four Bitchin’ Babes. Includes live recordings, special guests and musicians such as Al Petteway, Mike Auldridge, Merle Watson, Sam Bush, Billy Kemp, Marcy Marxer, Megon McDonough, Billy Kemp, T. Michael Coleman, The Four Bitchin' Babes and more.
