  • Connie Smith is one of the touchstone figures in Country Music.
  • Her complete COLUMBIA recordings from 1973 to 1976.
  • 9 albums on 4 CDs from gospel and Christmas songs to classic country and pop.
  • The accompanying 96-page book includes dozens of previously unpublished photos, a detailed discography, session-by-session discussion of the making of the records, and an overview of Connie Smiths life as she balanced session scheduling and Grand Ole Opry and touring performances while being, by this time, an actively involved, dedicated mother of five.
  • Introduction by Connies husband and musical collaborator Marty Stuart, who has now joined her as an inducted member of the Country Music Hall of Fame.
  • Includes all of the tracks from the second chapter in Connie Smiths epochal recording career, as she moved to the Columbia Records label from RCA Victor in 1973and the first reissue of the majority of them.
  • Classic, infectious 1970s honky tonk singles such as Aint Love a Good Thing, her own co-write Youve Got Me Right Where You Want Me and her hit takes on the Everly Brothers (Till) I Kissed You and So Sad.
  • Dozens of out-of-print and long hard-to-find recordings, including her, unforgettable Christmas album Joy to the World, shaped by her own arrangements of sacred holiday songs, and the singular, history-making Connie Smith Sings Hank Williams Gospel.
  • Connie Smiths riveting interpretations of prime era country songs from the pens of Dallas Frazier, Don Gibson, Bill Anderson, Doug Kershaw, Tom T. Hall, Lefty Frizzell, Harlan Howard, Eddie Raven and Jessi Colter.
  • Connies deep grounding in country gospel music applied to introduction of new songs in the genre by Kris Kristofferson, Dolly Parton, Porter Wagoner, Larry Gatlin and Dottie Rambo, in addition to that full album of eleven Hank Williams gospel songs.
  • New exploration of the steel guitar foregrounding Connie Smith sound as she performs virtual vocal-guitar duets with steel heroes Weldon Myrick, Lloyd Green, John Hughey, Jimmy Day, Buddy Emmons and Hal Rugg.
  • Detailed stories of Connie Smiths close work with Columbia producers Ray Baker and George Richey, as they arrived at the song choices and up-to-date, yet traditionalist sounds that brought her through the pop-centric John Denver-Olivia Newton John county era with her core classic country attack intact. Based on extensive new interviews with Connie herself and with producer Baker by the books author Barry Mazor.
  • Connie Smith- The Latest Shade of Blue, is the third in Bear Familys chronicle of one of country musics most masterful vocalists in the years that cemented her reputation and renown, following on the two sets covering her previous years at RCA Victor, Born to Sing (1964-1967) and Just For What I Am (1968-1972).
