Mindy's been getting well-deserved attention ever since her rendition of "Jolene" on the Dolly Parton tribute album Just Because I'm a Woman. Hanging out with Dolly, and having Dolly hanging out back with you, has got to be a good thing for any emerging artist. Mindy has a way with a song -- effortless, but compelling storytelling -- soothing, and heartbreaking, each at the right moment.

One Moment More is the debut album by American singer-songwriter Mindy Smith, released in 2004.

Artist/Band Information

Mindy Smith (born June 1, 1972 on Long Island, New York) is an American singer-songwriter. Her music can be classified as all of the following: folk, country, Americana, bluegrass, pop, rock, and even alternative. Her voice and music have been compared to that of Shawn Colvin, Patty Griffin, Norah Jones, and Alison Krauss.

Biography

Smith was adopted at birth by a pastor and his wife. She has a brother and two sisters (Shannon, Kim and Don), and she grew up on Long Island, where she developed a passion for music and began singing at an early age. After her mother's death from cancer in 1991, Smith moved to Cincinnati for two years and then to Knoxville, Tennessee and, in 1998, she moved to Nashville to pursue a career in music.

Rise to fame

Smith gained popularity in 2003 when she was asked to contribute to the Dolly Parton tribute album Just Because I'm a Woman by her label, Vanguard Records. Her contribution to the project was a cover of Parton's classic "Jolene". Dolly Parton followed by adding backing vocals to a new mix of the song, which was then featured on Smith's debut album that was released in January 2004, One Moment More. The pair also performed the song on The Tonight Show with Jay Leno.

"Come to Jesus" was Smith's second single and biggest hit, receiving airplay on country music, Christian, AAA and adult contemporary radio. The song charted at #32 on Billboards Adult Top 40 chart. "One Moment More" was the album's final single.

In 2004 Smith appeared at the long-established Cambridge Folk Festival in the United Kingdom, which was broadcast nationally on BBC radio.

During her tour supporting One Moment More, Smith regularly sang a cover of Susan Ashton's song "No One Knows My Heart", which Smith has not yet released on an album.

Back to Long Island Shores

In October 2006, Smith released "Out Loud", the first single from her second album.. The song was well-received by AAA rock radio and CMT. On January 10, 2007, she performed "Please Stay" on The Tonight Show with Jay Leno.

Smith included Buddy Miller as a duet vocalist for "What If the World Stops Turning".

My Holiday

In October 2007, Smith released a Christmas album, My Holiday. In addition to several standards, Smith wrote six original Christmas-themed songs. A song Popmatters describes as "standout", "I Know the Reason" includes duet vocals by Thad Cockrell.

Stupid Love

In August 2009, Smith released her fourth studio album, Stupid Love. She appeared on The Early Show on August 15, 2009 to perform the first single, "Highs and Lows". On September 29, 2009, while promoting the album on the syndicated radio show World Cafe, Smith disclosed she had dealt with obsessive compulsive disorder.
