Biography


Highway One is the road that you take if you want to see Australia. It’s a road that Joel Smoker has travelled on many times, beginning with the trip his mother and father took when they drove back with him to Fitzroy Crossing, from the little northwest port of Derby, in Western Australia, where he was born on September 7th, 1952. Since then he has travelled the country from north to south and east to west, a number of times, and from those experiences has come a wealth of songs that he has recorded in albums such as Out on Highway One (1989), Outback (1995), The Flesh and the Spirit (1999) and Smile (2006) plus two EPs titled The Road to Nullagine (2005) and Heaven (2007). All these albums were produced by Lucky Oceans of Asleep at the Wheel fame.

On his first album, Out on Highway One, Joel’s songs explored the themes of leaving home and discovering the big wide world. With the second album, Outback, Joel went back to his roots, writing songs that told the stories of the people of rural Australia, where he was born and raised. On The Flesh and the Spirit Joel explored internal issues such as the search for love and meaning. With the Smile album Joel used his song writing skills to look at the passage of time and how it affects us all.

With his latest CD, The Human Condition, Joel takes on the role of the jester and holds a mirror up to our lives with songs that reflect who we are. Joel has enlisted the help of veteran musician and producer, Ian Simpson, to record this album. Ian was a member of the Slim Dusty Travelling Band for many years. The band who contributed to this recording include Ian on guitar, dobro, banjo and Baritone guitar, Dave Clarke on fiddle, mandolin and harmonica, John Mc Nair on bass guitar and Brendan Leggo on drums. Ian and Brendan provide backing vocals. There are fourteen original songs on the album which was recorded, mixed and mastered by Pete Grandison at Shanghai Twang Studios in Kardinya, Western Australia.
