Search - Micheal Smotherman :: Conjure Man

His songs have been recorded by the likes of Roger Miller, Glenn Campbell, Kenny Rogers, Ray Charles, Waylon Jennings, Willie Nelson, Bonnie Raitt, Earl Thomas Conley, The Allman Brothers, Deana Carter, Lila McCann, Trace Adkins, Brooks & Dunn? It was upon meeting fellow songwriter, producer and former member of the group Bread, Robb Royer, that the focus, style and direction was achieved for Micheal?s CONJURE MAN recordings. "Imagine meeting Randy Newman at his home?imagine he had never played his to anyone. Then suddenly you see a stack of song demos in the corner of the room, 500 of them?Smotherman is like that. I just scratched the surface of his work to produce CONJURE MAN. I feel that these, and probably a hundred others, are ?artist songs?? that you fully understand only when you hear them by the writer/performer. Micheal is that kind of artist," says Royer. "Quincy Jones meets Roger Miller at Ray Charles' party in New Orleans kind of music". - Micheal Smotherman
