"It's Al In Your Head" the first CD-length project of Columbus Ohio blues artist Al Smyth, takes listeners on the same energy-filled musical journey through the traditions of blues, jazz and rock that has caught the public's attention at Smyth's live performances.
With this release, Smyth treats his CD audience to a tasty assortment of blues standards, acoustic slide solos and original tunes. Each is captured in the bold, whimsical style.

"Al Smyth of the Free Beer 'n' Chicken Coalition caught my ear with his trio's version of thumpin' juke-joint, sit-down guitar-playing blues 'n' boogie. Quite the colorful character, and very funky, too."
"He's stolen back every lick Keith Richards stole from the country blues players..."
- John Petric, The Other Paper
"Instead of trudging through the pentatonic minor scales that pour from blues bars the world over, Smyth prefers to work out a tighter structure of riffs and hooks."
- John Ross, THE COLUMBUS DISPATCH
