ACTION CITY was recorded in Los Angeles and produced by Dave Immergluck (Guitarist Counting Crow), the album features Chris Seefried (Low Stars) on guitars and backing vocals, drummer extraordinaire Don Heffington and Immergluck on various guitars and bass. ACTION CITY boasts a big rock sound over a laid back acoustic/americana vibe, with tasteful lead guitar and even a little fuzz bass thrown in courtesy of Immergluck. Of working together on ACTION CITY, Immergluck says "One of the most satisfying recordings I've had the pleasure of being part of." ACTION CITY is the follow-up to 2006's UNDERACHIEVER EP With tracks produced by David Immerglück (Counting Crows) and Jesse Malin, recorded in Los Angeles and New York respectively, Underachiever features some of the top musicians of both cities. Joining Smith's warm, shimmering acoustic, Immerglück holds down wailing pedal steel and lap steel, plus bass, along with Counting Crows band mate Charles Gillingham on piano, Wurlitzer, and organ. Chris Seefried, long-time friend and musical co-conspirator, rounds out the LA sessions with beautiful harmonies on "Kathryn" and haunting piano and organ on "Sugarsweet", the album's closing track. Back in New York, Christine Smith (Malin, Ryan Adams, Crash Test Dummies) accompanies on keyboards and vocals, along with Amalia Daskalakis (Mad Juana) on viola. .
