Carl Smith died January 16. This obituary examines his rich life and tremendous musical contributions. At least a dozen of the twenty songs on this budget compilation are life-affirmingly brilliant.

"You've got to laugh and dance and sing..."

How have I never heard of Carl Smith before? Good stuff and great guitar playing in that tune.
As I suggest, DLC, there's much more where that came from. And here's a fun fact- he's Carlene Carter's pop.
I agree with the first comment.
Ha! I'm too afraid to have that spam translated, Steve.
