Product Details

Recorded at Abbey Road and Sunset Sound, XO marked Smith's major label debut on DreamWorks in 1998 and found him expanding his signature fingerpicked intimacy into lush orchestral arrangements, strings, and harmonies that recalled classic Beatles-era production. The leap in sonic scale never dulled the emotional precision that made his earlier indie recordings so devastating.

Elliott Smith honed his craft performing in the Portland music scene both as a solo artist and with the rock unit Heatmiser (his solo career spawned 3 albums, and Smith's Heatmiser days yielded 3 more albums). Currently, the singer/songwriter is best known for his Oscar nomination for his contribution of "Miss Misery" to director/friend Gus Van Sant's Academy Award winning film Good Will Hunting. Highlights on XO include "Tomorrow Tomorrow" and "Waltz."
