Neal Smith\u2019s newest album, \u201dKillSmith Goes West,\u201d the fourth in his KillSmith solo series, is heading in a whole new direction partner. Neal\u2019s percussive, musical and songwriting contributions and influence to the world of rock are undisputed. From the ground breaking shock rock direction of the multi gold, multi-platinum legendary band \u201cAlice Cooper,\u201d until the present, Neal has always taken on the challenge of exploring new musical directions.
Neal\u2019s early music influences were not only rock, big band swing, theater and movie music, but also country western. Growing up in Ohio, his mother, who loved live music, would often take Neal and his sister Cindy to Fixler\u2019s Ballroom in nearby Sharon Township. Neal would often dance the \u201cMash Potatoes\u201d solo with a clapping crown encircled around him, to the live band\u2019s rousing version of \u201cThe Orange Blossom Special.\u201d That band consisted of a drummer, guitarist, fiddle player, upright bassist and a blind piano player named Clarence. Now any band with a blind piano player named Clarence has to be a great band and this was a great country band.
In the story-telling spirit and tradition of great singer songwriter legends like Franke Lane, Johnny Horton, Jimmy Dean, Tennesee Ernie Ford, Johnny Cash and Hank Williams, Neal continues in that Western spirit with \u201cKillSmith Goes West\u201d and his ten new Outlaw Country Rock songs!!! <\/p>\n\n\n\n
