No one prepared me for what I was going to hear from Michael Buffalo Smith's 'Southern Lights' CD, or what kind of impact his music has on a listeners heart and soul.

If you listen with your heart-soul-ears and mind you can hear the love Michael Buffalo Smith has for his music. It's in the voice, in the guitar sounds, its everywhere.

Right at the beginning of 'Southern Lights', you get this powerful and heartfelt tune of 'Into the Light', this song is so strong, it tugs at the strings of the heart. And the musicianship is totally awesome, as it is throughout the whole CD. Each and every song is a tremendous winner and an keeper for lifetime.
