For Smith, the "Dreamin's Free"

Friday, April 1, 2022 – A week before the release of her forthcoming self-produced third album, "High," Monument Records' singer Caitlyn Smith released the song "Dreamin's Free."

"I spent a good portion of last year searching high and low through my memories and dreams," said the Minnesota-native. "I did what any songwriter would do: I turned off all the outside voices and started turning what I found into something that I want to sing."

"This song was born from that place. As an artist, dreaming fuels my life – the risks I choose to take and the art that I create and share with the world."

Smith collaborated on the ode to big dreamin' with GRAMMY-award winners Shane McAnally and Lori McKenna:
Yeah, I know that it ain't been easy
Ain't got a lot of honey, but we sure got bees
Up to our knees in the weeds and the trouble
'cause money don't grow on trees
We can run but wherever we go
Even the freeway gonna take its toll on you and me, baby
We ain't rich but the dreamin's free

Kicking things off in her hometown, Smith will begin her headlining The High & Low Tour tonight, at Minneapolis' famous First Avenue.

CD reviews for Caitlyn Smith

CD review - High & Low The title track to this Caitlyn Smith album was co-written with Miley Cyrus, one that likely knows a thing or two about getting high. However, this is not a drug song (at least not intentionally so), but one that explores the ups and downs of life instead. In fact, Smith had initially considered breaking the album down into high and low song sections. Ultimately, she just mixed it all together. Smith, known by many mostly as a successful Nashville songwriter, presents herself as an especially ...
CD review - Supernova A lover of the cosmos and all things mystical, Caitlyn Smith continues with her astronomy-themed discography on her sophomore album, "Supernova," the follow up to 2018's "Starfire." The opening track, "Long Time Coming" starts out with a punishing drum beat and morphs into a heavily distorted guitar solo, which suggests angry heartbreak and its accompanying frustration. However, Smith bills the song as a "little anthem of hope to myself," having just ...
