Mindy Smith

“One Moment More” (Vanguard)

Mindy Smith’s piercing voice, strikingly clear as water, is tailor made for the high lonesome sounds of old country and bluegrass, but on her debut album, she mines more mainstream, pop-folk territory, albeit it with a Nashville twang. As a writer, Smith might resemble Shawn Colvin more than anyone else, but on these 11 new songs Smith quickly establishes herself as an original voice, and one who isn’t afraid to cross vulnerability with self-assertion.
