It's just great to see this great female singer making a comeback. The first time I heard Connie Smith sing was in the 60's. I bought 5 or 6 of her albums back then and I lost them all when I went through divorce in "82". I was so exited a few years ago when I saw a cd of Connie "The Essential" that I bought it right on the spot. Now a couple of years later I dicovered that she made a comeback. And what a comeback with this CD. My favorites on this CD are "How Long", "Just Let Me Know", and "You Can't Take Back A Teardrop". The whole CD reminds me of the Connie Smith I remember when I was a teenager living in Maine and enjoying her music. She still has that powerful voice which is ALWAYS on key and hasn't lost anything through the years. I enjoy listening to her now as much as I did back when. To me she's still the best female country singer that ever recorded. I just hope she comes out with a new CD soon, even though she might not get any radio play, which is a crying shame. What is wrong with Nashville? Don't they recognize great talent anymore? There's no other female singer in Nashville today that can even come close to Connie's powerful and soulful deliveries singing from the heart today. I recommend this CD to everyone. Good songs, good music, and I'll always be a big fan of hers. Keep up the good work Connie. Guitar Bob

This is a great album! In fact, it's one of the best to come out of Nashville in years! The sound here is much like the sound Connie had in the 60's when she recorded her great hits "Once A Day", "Nobody But A Fool" and "If I Talk To Him." The songs here tell of getting over lost love, heartache and new found love as only Connie Smith can do it. "How Long", "Lonesome", "You Can't Take Back A Tear Drop", and "Love's Not Everything" are great classic tales of lost love set to a country beat and tune. "Hearts Like Ours", and "Your Light" sound as if Connie and husband Marty Stuart may have been writing these words to one another and they are great love songs. The only week track on the CD is "A Tale From Tahrarrie", and I don't consider it a "bad" song, but it's just not the same "Tradidional fiddle/steele sound that the rest of them have). To sum it up, this CD is a great come back album from someone we have missed in Country music for many years. It's just too bad that "Country" Radio didn't pick up on it.

I WAS SURPRISED AND VERY PLEASED TO HEAR THIS C.D. OF OUR CONNIE. SHE HAS IMPROVED IF THAT WERE POSSIBLE,AND WITH THE HELP OF HER HUSBAND MARTY STUART HAVE PRODUCED WHAT I CAN ONLY DESCRIBE ,AS A WONDERFUL GROUP OF SONGS WITH THE BEST WOMAN FOR THE JOB SINGING THEM----PLEASE LETS HAVE MORE CONNIE !!!

I think Connie Smith is still the best country music singer that has ever come along. She has a truly remarkable voice. Her kind of singing will never go out of style for me.

Dolly Parton said it best when she said "There are only three real female singers on this planet: Barbra Streisand, Linda Ronstadt, and Connie Smith. The rest of us are just pretending".
This CD is a testament to that remark and unlike today's bubble gum country from pop wannabes like Reba, Martina McBride, Shania Twain and Faith Hill who have compromised just do what "Sells", thank the Lord there is still a true and talented country artist out there like Connie Smith who has never compromised! Enjoy!

This Cd is Absolutely brilliant !!Every song is Straight from the heart.I read she gave up singing to raise her family (5 kids)Her early stuff is Fabulous--This Cd is awesome.

Just wonderful good old country music,the way it should be,pure country. With Marty Stuart and Connie writing 9 of the songs,and with him playing the guitar and the mandolin it's just magical.

I think Connie Smith is still the best country music singer that has ever come along. She has a truly remarkable voice. Her kind of singing will never go out of style for me.

Fell in love with Connie in the 60s, loved her thru the 70s, and fell in love with her singing all over again when I listened to this cd. Connie is still the BEST female country singer there is, bar none. Sing us some more, Ms. Connie!!!

WITH ALL THE GRIPING ABOUT NOT BEING ABLE TO GET MUSIC BY THE LOST GENERATION OF COUNTRY STARS, WHY WOULDN'T THIS CD BE ONE OF THE BEST SELLERS ON THE MARKET? IT IS CONNIE SMITH AT HER BEST. SHE WRITES AND SINGS SONGS THAT ARE HEART RENDERING, OR BOOT KICKING, AND RIGHT-DOWN PLEASING TO THE EAR. HER VOICE HASN'T LOST ANY OF THE SOUND THAT WE LOVE. THIS CD HAS DIFFERENT TEMPO SONGS SO YOU DON'T GET BORED WITH THE MUSIC. THEY ARE SONGS TO PLEASE THE COUNTRY MUSIC FAN, WHETHER YOUNG OR OLD. THIS IS WHAT WE HAVE BEEN WAITING FOR. LET'S GET WITH IT! BUY THIS CD AND ENJOY SOME OF TODAY'S GREAT MUSIC.
