5.0 out of 5 stars Something missing, October 10, 2001

By

This review is from: Connie Smith - Greatest Hits on Monument (Audio CD)

Lady Smith made 2 Lps for Monument before retiring. Both are gems. Here is a composite of some of these pearls. Some of the songs on this CD have too much echo added to it and several really good songs have been left out, particularly her version of YOU LIGHT UP MY LIFE. By far the best version of this song I have ever heard. The original was sappy, Connie makes this an almost spiritual experience. But then, anything Connie Smith sings is an event. Let's hope to hear much more from her.

4.0 out of 5 stars Great collection, but a few milestones missing., February 25, 2000

This review is from: Connie Smith - Greatest Hits on Monument (Audio CD)

This is a fantastic collection, as any Connie Smith album would be, but there are some classics from that era missing. My only guestion to Sony Nashville is why didn't they include the great Connie Smith classics "You've Got Me Right Where You Want Me", "I Got A Lot Of Hurtin' Done Today", Til I Kissed Ya'",and "I Never Knew What That Song Meant Before" ? Wait a minute: I have a great idea... Let's have a "Volume II"! I'm always ready for another "Connie" collection!

3.0 out of 5 stars This One Is Not "ESSENTIAL", May 4, 2002

This review is from: Connie Smith - Greatest Hits on Monument (Audio CD)

By the time Connie arrived at Monument in the late '70s, her Billboard days were coming to a close. This CD contains her final 2 (of 39) chart hits, I "Want to Be Your Everything" and "Loving You Baby". High marks also go to " Coming Around", "Smooth Sailin'" and especially "Don't Make Me Dream". That one is another example of Connie giving some solid, unsolicited female to male advice. The rest of this release does not match the quality of her "Essential" album. Just as some Ann Rule books are for everyone and some for her fans, this release is for Connie lovers. The recommendation here is to try "Essentials" first. If that makes one a Connie lover, then proceed. "Lovers" can add a fourth star.
