"The Human Element" by Doug Smith

The word that comes to mind is eclectic. Doug Smith takes the listener through all sorts of musical genres, Jazz, classical, country, Rock and Ragtime and completes the journey with a soulful duet with pedal steel extraordinaire, Lloyd Maines. This project also includes the haunting “Ghost Windows” which Smith states is “the most original composition in my repertoire”. All original compositions, all-powerful, totally heart-felt, uniquely Doug Smith, a very rare pianist.
