Biography:
Anthony Smith charges through country music like a bull in a china shop—shaking and rattling the music with bold bravura. Tall and broad-shouldered, the long-haired country boy from East Tennessee breaks rules and ignores the usual polite Nashville conventions.
On Sunshine, his first album for Krankit Records, Smith comes on fun, funky and strong. The record was co-produced by Smith and label head and veteran hit maker James Stroud, with Bobby Terry lending additional production assistance on singles and long-plays.
