Ed Snodderly & The Shoestring Seven
Chimney Smoke
(Majestic Records)
★★★
TENNESSEE born Ed Snodderly is a singer-songwriter with particularly eclectic musical tastes, drawing inspiration for his creative exploits from everyone from country music legends The Carter Family to The Kinks’ frontman Ray Davies.
The latest addition to Ed’s endlessly rewarding back catalogue is Chimney Smoke, the veteran performer’s tenth album and arguably one of his finest to date.
