    Description

    I'm almost sure this is the same
    Micheal Smotherman
    who was an
    American singer, songwriter and producer
    , who also played keyboards and percussion and performed with Captain Beefheart, Buckwheat and The Magic band and collaborated with many other legendary musicians. Michael Smotherman's two self-titled albums are from the late 70's (1977) into the early 80's (Epic Records, 1982) and I believe these "Rough Demos" were recorded in mid-'80s. He passed away in 2019.
    There is no information on this demo other than what is pictured so
    unfortunately I know very little about this rough demo tape. I believe it's 5 songs with solid production and a great melodic AOR sound similar to
    John Waite
    and
    Michael Bolton
    . And I don't believe any of these songs have been previously release on any of his records.
    NOTE
    : This is the
    ORIGINAL
    demo cassette sent from from the either artist or management back in the ‘80s. Although the cassette is in VG/Excellent condition and only played a few times and safely stored in case at room temperature, keep in mind many of these cassettes are 30 to 40 years old and tape does deteriorate after many years so the condition may vary.
