About Michael Peter Smith

Michael Peter Smith was an American, Chicago-based singer-songwriter. Rolling Stone once called him "the greatest songwriter in the English language". Mark Guarino of Chicago Reader wrote, "He never became a household name the way John Prine and Steve Goodman did, but his lengthy discography is just as mighty." He sang and composed from the 1960s, and his rich and challenging songs have been recorded by more than 30 performers.
