No, not the Fleetwood Mac album from the 70’s. That was “Rumours” with a U. I’m talking stuff we don’t have truly confirmed, but that seem to be pretty reliable. There are two pieces of information that can be found on Kris Bell’s Sonicbids page that I find rather curious, mostly because they seem like pretty important pieces of information.
First, if you read carefully, you’ll find in Kris’ bio that, hmmm, his CD is now due out in the Fall. While I’m not gonna hold my breath (sorry, Kris, but history speaks for itself LOL!), I will continue to look forward to this long-awaited CD. In addition, it will be “released on the independent label, Big Head Rebel Records.” All I can say is: Bring on the Fall!
Second, if you scroll down a bit on the bio page, Kris lists his band members. There’s Kris, of course, and familiar names Coop and Shane, but then, what’s this? “Craig Smoot-Guitar”? Who the heck is that? Well, a little Googling gave up his MySpace page and a bit of information. Seems he’s a Huntsville native (or at least he went to high school and college there), and, depending on how recently he’s updated his MySpace, he’s currently playing with 3 bands (not including Kris’ band). Looks like he likes to keep busy.
So, now I have a few questions.
- October 3 is technically in the Fall. Will I be able to purchase a Kris Bell CD at his Redding, CA, show?
- Will New Guy actually be adding a 4th band to his list of current gigs?
- Will New Guy be joining Kris in Redding on October 3?
- What is the meaning of life?
I figure we’ll get a few answers in the next month. That last one? Well, I figure that’s up to each of us to figure out on our own.
For the terminally curious, like me, here’s a pic of New Guy Craig Smoot, taken in 2007, playing with Black Label.
Hmmmm… Smootylicious 
(No, I didn’t make that up. That’s his MySpace addy:
