Chad Price
Smile Sweet Face
Suburban Home
The music of Fort Collins's Drag the River has never been short of heartache. But with his debut solo album, Smile Sweet Face, Drag co-leader Chad Price has stripped away the band's comforting layer of drunken revelry to reveal something far more painful. Bearing nothing but acoustic-folk chords, a whiskey-scarred voice and the occasional sighs of accordion (courtesy of Lucero's Rick Steff), Price wrote Smile's ten songs during Drag's recent, temporary breakup. Accordingly, there's a downcast resignation to the album, a dovetailing of weary-handed strums and gruff disappointment that makes for bitter medicine. But medicine it is: Beneath all the emotional malady is an iron spine of survivalist hope, an expectation that rock bottom is just one more stop along the way.
