Where There's Smoke... is the debut studio album by American country music group Gibson/Miller Band. It was released in 1993 via Epic Records. The album includes five singles: "Big Heart", "High Rollin'", "Texas Tattoo", "Small Price", and "Stone Cold Country".[1] Except for "Small Price", these all charted within Top 40 on Hot Country Songs between 1992 and 1994.

The track "Where There's Smoke" was later recorded by Archer/Park on their 1994 album We Got a Lot in Common,[2] and was a No. 29 single for them in 1994.[3]

Critical reception

[edit]

A review from People was positive, stating that "Fueled by tongue-in-cheek lyrics...and Dave Gibson’s weathered tenor, their debut album conjures up freewheeling, fast-drinking honkytonk nights."[4]
