Don't It Drag On is an album by American singer/songwriter Chris Smither, released in 1972. It was re-released on CD along with I'm a Stranger Too! in 2002.
Writing for Allmusic, critic Brett Hartenbach called Smither "a great writer who knows when to look elsewhere for material, a masterful guitarist who understands simplicity and a powerful singer with restraint.": and wrote of the album "while the bulk of Smither's material has a ruminative, melancholic tone, don't expect typical singer/songwriter fare." Music critic Robert Christgau also praised the album, writing "Smither writes tough-minded yet numinous post-folk songs that do justice to his adventurous taste in other people's... A smart record."
