Walon Smith

Alabama singer/songwriter Walon Smith plays his eclectic brand of rock 'n' roll on college campuses, in music halls, and at gas stations throughout the Southeast. Too Far Gone, his solo debut on Explosivo Records, combines the influence of artists like the Beatles, Elvis Costello, and Neil Young to create an addictive blend of pop, rock, and country.Aside from Walon's singing and playing of various instruments, Too Far Gone features performances by such Southeastern musical luminaries as Leif Bondarenko, Eric Onimus, Greg Nobles, Phil Proctor, Tim Boykin, Al Angelo, and John P. Strohm. The true stars on this album, however, are the songs themselves; from the psychedelic swirl of "Every Finger Torn Away" and the infectious pop groove of "Juliana" to the gentle heartbreak of "Salt and Water", each tune is a winner.
