It’s easy to form a personal relationship with Smith’s songs, and that’s precisely why it’s so hard to rank them. But the beating heart of his work, from the first song he recorded to the last, was his ability to wring musical beauty out of such ugly subject matter as addiction and depression – things Smith, born on August 6, 1969, wrestled with until his tragic death, at the age of 34, on October 21, 2003. By the time he recorded his final, posthumously released album, From A Basement On The Hill, he was in a studio on a major label’s dollar, rendering his songs in Technicolor with keyboards and strings.
