Jim Smith of Cardiacs

Sign in to disble this ad
Is anyone else here a fan of Jim Smith from Cardiacs? I'm a fairly recent fan of that band and I've grown to enjoy his bass lines. He does a good job of standing out in such a busy sounding band and, while his playing might not be mind blowing, he adds a nice bit of flair to his bass lines to make them interesting. I think he's a good solid bassist, and he's one of the reasons I picked up this instrument.

I have been amazed by their "As Cold as it Can be" rehearsals on Youtube.

I love those rehearsal videos with Jim in his undies. Although I think their classic lineup was the best, I love their sound as a quartet too.

It's good to see I'm not the only one here who loves these guys.
