The Man In The Gray Flannel SuitA birthday tribute.

Stepping in for The Haberdasher this evening with a birthday tribute to Elliott Smith.

Elliott Smith would have been 43 today had his life not been dramatically taken 9 years ago. We celebrate his life and his music with a playlist consisting of artists that influenced him, artists he covered, artists covering him and of course a few tracks from the man of the hour. Thanks for listening.
