Sonny Smith (Sonny and the Sunsets) is a San Francisco songwriter and artist. We discuss the therapy of creating clay dog heads, touring Alaska, and his creative process as he works on album art for an upcoming country project. 

Of course I had to ask about his ambitious art/music project from 2010 "100 Records" where 100 artists produced artwork for the record covers of fictional bands! Sonny then wrote and recorded 200 songs for the a and b sides of the records. Only 200? ~~~~~
