Nobody knows you when you're down and out
It had to be you
My baby just cares for me

I wish I could shimmy like my sister Kate

'A humane discourse on the fragility of our minds, of the bodies that give rise to them, and of the world they create for us.' - "Daily Telegraph".

Smithies has written about 118 albums that he personally loves, music that he believes rises above the background noise to say something significant about the musicians who made it, and the place and time from which they came. It is a highly subjective selection, which does not pretend to be exhaustive or definitive. Rather it has been driven by a desire to shine a light on many of the lesser known treasures of New Zealand music; to uncover albums of equal power and cultural significance to many of the better-known recordings that are traditionally held up as seminal New Zealand albums. This remarkable collection of music is, not surprisingly,
