"Gravedigger's Boy is one of the most original collections of songs that you'll ever find on any album." Fred Nolan, DJ at WCJUChristopher Smith is one of the best "under the radar" songwriters in the country. His acoustic based music is grounded in folk roots with american and celtic influences. His musicianship always serves the song, and his voice is sweet and engaging. What sets Smith apart is the sheer strength of his material. He holds a listener's attention for song after song because he writes stories that spring from interesting ideas. Christopher has been playing music in the San Francisco Bay area for over 25 years, where he lives with his wife and two sons. He credits his day job (the world’s greatest kindergarten teacher) for helping to maintain his playful, creative energy. Besides writing great songs, he also makes killer playdough. He has won the performing songwriter competition at the Sisters Folk Festival in Oregon, and his song "Gravedigger's Boy" won Best Song at West Virgina's NewSong Festival.

Purchase Gravedigger's Boy CD To buy, Click on price to add to cart | J J Cale Naturally CD (1971)
Gravedigger's Boy album
 $8.15    
NATURALLY has stood up over the years as a perfect debut. When released in 1971, it introduced J.J. Cale's rootsy, laid back grooves to excellent effect, and in the decades since, this album and its follow-up, REALLY, have remained classics of mellow '70s country-rock. Riding on the success and easy blues feel of Eric Clapton's cover of Cale's "After Midnight," NATURALLY goes even deeper into roots music, concocting a mixture of country, blues, and boogie that is full of downhome goodness while it drips with cool.
Cale's version of "After Midnight" is here, as is his loping "Call Me the Breeze" (later covered by Lynyrd Skynyrd), and the minimal blues "Crazy Mama" (a radio hit for Cale). The music is deceptively tricky--the surface textures pull you in like a porch swing, but ...

| | Ruthie Foster Runaway Soul CD (2002)
Gravedigger's Boy songs
$10.25 
Dedicating one song to her late father who passed away in January 2002, Ruthie Foster's vocals mix gospel with a healthy helping of Texas blues in the vein of Bonnie Raitt or occasionally Melissa Etheridge. The mid-tempo opener, "Runaway Soul," is a solid beginning with harmonica and Hammond organ. Her softer side is also shown in some delightful harmonies. "Woke Up This Mornin'" has a Sunday church feeling, slowly building into a funky Southern track with a choir-like harmony. "Smalltown Blues" takes more of an acoustic slant, featuring mainly Foster and acoustic guitar dominating the tune. Foster rarely takes a wrong turn on the album, knowing her strengths and playing to them. "Home" is a soulful tune that has a tremendous and effortless flow, despite the rather heavy spiritual theme. "Hole in My Pocket," however, treads on similar ground, resulting in the track being a bit more stagnant and difficult to appreciate. One trait that makes the album very cohesive ...
| | 20th Century Masters - The Millennium Collection: The Best Of The Fairport Convention CD (2002)
Gravedigger's Boy album
$7.45
This is part of A&M Records "The Millenium Collection" series.
This is hardly "the best of Fairport Convention," focusing as it does on a pretty slim slice of their career. All of these ten songs were done within about a year and a half of each other between 1968 and 1970. As it happens, this is the peak of their career, and the phase that saw them progress into interesting variations on folk-rock with each album, from a more balanced base to a more avowedly British traditional one. But it's a small sample nevertheless. It draws two or three tracks apiece from the albums What We Did on Our Holidays, Unhalfbricking, Liege & Lief, and Full House. It does include several of the songs that most fans and critics would value among the best of the band's output -- "Meet on the Ledge," "Fotheringay," "Who Knows Where the Time Goes," "Percy's Song," "Matty Groves," "Sloth," and "Now Be Thankful." Even here, though, there's plenty of room for questioning, particularly with the omission of "Tam Lin" (perhaps their best-known song in America) and "If You Gotta ...

Gravedigger's Boy album
$12.69
He's a sucker for lace. She's a sucker for stubble. He can't resist a pretty face, and she never could say no to trouble. And that's how Megan Jean and Byrne Klay came to find one another, form a family of two, and call it their family band. Born to free spirited musicians, Megan Jean grew up with melodies in her heart and a guitar in her hand, in a small town just outside Seattle. Byrne Klay grew up 3,000 miles away in New York State spending endless afternoons in the library absorbing as much music as he could get his hands on from Charles Mingus to ancient church music. He went on to study upright and electric bass at Oberlin Conservatory and the New School in New York, and in the process, traveled the world with a variety of musical acts and genres. Megan Jean learned to play guitar from her singer/songwriter mother, and her father, an accomplished bluegrass and blues flatpicker. She grew up listening to her mother's original country songs, Dolly Parton, John Prine, and Neil Young. Upon moving to New York in 2001 to study at NYU's Tisch School of the Arts, she began utilizing her informal training ...
