Mindy Smith

Americana artist Mindy Smith has been referred to on 12 Songs
before. At some point in the COVID years I talked about my love
of "Santa Will Find You" from her 2007 album My Holiday, and last
year when I talked to The Indigo Girls, we talked about the song
"It Really Is (a Wonderful Life,)" which they recorded. It turns
out it was written by Chely Wright, but the only version I knew
was Smith's from My Holiday. 


For me, this was an interview I had long looked forward to, and
it was made possible by the release of Quiet Town, her first
album in 12 years. The album will be out tomorrow, though the
song we play, "Something to Write in Stone," is out now along
with two other songs. On October 4, it will all be for
sale. 


In the episode, I mention the heartbreaking (to me) Snowflakes
Christmas Singles Club on Bandcamp, which I just heard will have
two new singles available this year. 


Mindy Smith will be on tour much of the rest of 2024, and you can
find out where she'll be at MindySmithMusic.com.
