An entirely new spin on the Fort Worth Roots Podcast!! Clayton Smith released his new album "Stranger" a little over a week ago. Today we get to listen to the album while the artist who performed, recorded, mixed, and mastered the project almost completely by himself, gives us a step by step break down of the completed project. Clayton performs with two very well know Fort Worth bands, "The Band Laredo" and "The Rye Boys". You can catch The Band Laredo at The Post October 7th for their album release party.

Find Clayton Smith on the Twitter @Claytonryesmith

Find The Band Laredo on Instagram  @thebandlaredo  (I know these are hard to remember)

Get the full album on Bandcamp where Clayton lets you download the entire album for whatever price you think is fair: https://claytonsmithandhisenemies.bandcamp.com/album/stranger
