Synopsis

Album Description
Connie Smith is considered by many fans and critics to be one of the best and most underrated vocalists in country music history. Though she is often compared with Patsy Cline, Smith actually has a distinct style all of her own, and sings straight from the heart. Connie's first two LPs were originally released in 1965 and are now reissued here together on one CD for the first time. Her debut album, included on this CD, was recently given a 5 star rating by 'All Music Guide', who said the LP "features her blowing through the Nashville Sound production like a down-home Streisand fronting The Lennon Sisters" This new CD includes Connie's debut single, 'Once a Day', which hit the top of the Country charts, reigning as number one for eight weeks. Smith's follow-up, 'Then and Only Then', also featured here, reached number 4 in the charts. Connie Smith became a member of the 'Grand Ole Opry' in 1965. She continues to perform with the Opry and in 1998 returned with her first LP in many years. This 2-on-1 includes the original artwork and sleeve notes from both original LPs, along with rare photographs and new, updated liner notes. Hux Records.
 

CD Reviews

A TREASURE!!

"The first two Connie Smith albums put into one CD!!! How lucky can anyone get! This collection shows why Connie knows no peer when it comes to country music. She is the real thing and next to Patsy Cline, the best female singer in country music. Her peers even confirm this! What a voice!! This is what REAL COUNTRY MUSIC is, not the makeshift, bubblegum pap we're subjected to these days (which I won't listen to at all). I know everyone has different tastes in music but it escapes me why this type of music isn't appreciated more and given the respect that its due. At least with this collection (of which there are no filler songs in the bunch), Connie Smith represents a genre which I'm afraid is long gone and we'll not see again. But she is a perfect reminder of what REAL COUNTRY MUSIC IS AND ALWAYS WILL BE!"
Connie at her best!

"Connie Smith is, to me, the greatest female country singer.

The early recordings have a freshness and liveliness. I love them! Her voice is so strong and pure.

"Tiny Blue Transistor" is what you'd call "bubble gum" country, it's unique in the genre. And, this collection includes the classic track: "Once a Day". But, as you will see when you've listened to these two albums, there's much more to Miss Smith than "Once a Day"!
