“Creek Will Rise” has been out for some time as a single, but his brand-new Smoky Mountains LP has only been out for a couple of weeks. The single is one of the better songs on the project as it marks Conner Smith’s first-ever entry on the Billboard charts.

Smith also just wrapped his “Creek Will Rise” Tour on January 27th. The tour kicked off in November and ran through the late fall and early winter.
