Singer-songwriter Cameron Smith, frontman of the Slings, is preparing a follow-up to the album Gold & Rust, but on the eve of Halloween he has unexpectedly released something far more stripped down: the acoustic collection In Lieu of Flowers: Live at Cabin Records. In July he travelled to D. Neil Ferguson’s home in Bluff Dale, Texas, where, in Ferguson’s cedar Cabin Records studio, he recorded one or two takes of 11 new songs in front of a couple of good microphones. The result is close to what he plays at his solo acoustic shows, and it is now available on all streaming platforms.
Smith deliberately left the recording raw and unrefined: the performances are candid and flawed, and he was only getting to know many of the songs, which wander off in their own directions. The album is meant as a snapshot of one fleeting moment; some of the material will likely return, revised, on more polished albums down the road.
Some songs are painfully autobiographical: “Learning How to Use My Voice” chronicles his life and misadventures in music so far, and “If I Were Not Afraid” was written last Halloween and remains his current seasonal favorite. “Burning Season” works for both laughter and tears, at heart a love song that reaches its destination by many backroads. Recurring themes are Faustian bargains and spiritual crossroads, and there are protest songs such as “Little’s Changed”. The title track is greatly inspired by Palestinian American poet Noor Hindi’s poem “F*ck Your Lecture on Craft, My People Are Dying.”
