Valerie Smith and Liberty Pike - No Summer Storm

Fans of both bluegrass and country music just love Valerie Smith & Liberty Pike, although she favours old time acoustic string instruments for backing the emphasis is more on the perfect delivery of well written songs rather than high speed picking.

With No Summer Storm we get eleven of the above-mentioned well-written songs, all delivered in Valerie’s dusky country styled vocal. That combined with her band Liberty Pike of which fiddler supreme Becky Buller is a member and we have a truly first class release.

Mark Samos contributes two wonderful songs in I’m Looking For A Man and the title track No Summer Storm, and one of my favourite song writers Tom T Hall has supplied Valerie with the broken hearted lament, Sit Down And Cry, and with a killer opening track in Sawmill Man, this really is an album to sit down and savour.

If you are a fan of bluegrass, old time or simply just country music, you will not be disappointed with No Summer Storm by Valerie Smith & Liberty Pike. ~ James Soars
