Ode to J. Smith

Travis' Ode to J Smith is their sixth studio album. Coming less than a year and a half after The Boy With No Name, the music is gritty and arresting, while the production - which took just two weeks - gives the Scots a new lease on life that is sure to remind fans of their work during the 1990s. It's their first record to be written on electric guitar since 1997's Good Feeling and vocalist Fran Healy sounds as passionate as ever.
