UNUSUAL ANTHOLOGY AND A BIT ODD
Terry D. Robertson | Asheville, NC USA | 05/29/2007
(5 out of 5 stars)

"I gave this CD 5 stars for sheer audacity of material. The "Little Bit Country" is culled from her 1961 Brylcreem promo release for her one and only TV Special that contains, not country, but vintage American folk songs. "The Little Bit Rock N Roll" is derived from selections of her UK CD tribute to Buddy Holly. It may appear a bit jarring to go from "Down In The Valley" to "Rave On" and a bit impossible to pull off. But only a singer of Ms. Francis' caliber has accomplished this offbeat task. Connie was not in good voice when she recorded the Holly tribute (due to illness), but it is nonetheless, a sincere attempt.



The real value for collectors is the selections from the obscure Bryclcreem promo making it way to CD for the first time. The cover is lifted from her first UK EP "It Would Be Worth it".



And this set is definitely worth a listen to. Strange, but engaging."
