Arguably the most gifted songwriter of his generation, Smith produced a large body of work that includes five solo albums and a collection of songs completed before his death in 2003. This double CD contains twenty-four songs recorded between 1994 and 1997, a prolific time in Elliot's career, when he recorded his self-titled album and EITHER/OR. Like his other work, NEW MOON reflects the power of Smith's ability to integrate rich, melodic music with poetic, multi-layered lyrics.
