Connie Smith: Latest Shade Of Blue - Columbia Recordings 1973 - 1976 (4-CD Deluxe Box Set)
- Connie Smith ist eine der wichtigsten Persönlichkeiten der Country-Musik.
- Ihre kompletten COLUMBIA-Aufnahmen von 1973 bis 1976.
- 9 Alben auf 4 CDs - von Gospel und Weihnachtsliedern bis hin zu klassischem Country und Pop.
- Das begleitende 96-seitige Buch enthält Dutzende von bisher unveröffentlichten Fotos, eine detaillierte Diskografie, eine detaillierte Übersicht über die Entstehung der Aufnahmen und einen Überblick über Connie Smiths Leben, das sie zwischen Sessionplanung, Grand Ole Opry und Tourneen führte, während sie gleichzeitig eine engagierte Mutter von fünf Kindern war.
- Vorwort von Connies Ehemann und musikalischem Mitarbeiter Marty Stuart, der nun zusammen mit ihr als Mitglied in die Country Music Hall of Fame aufgenommen wurde.
- Enthält alle Titel aus dem zweiten Kapitel von Connie Smiths epochaler Plattenkarriere, als sie 1973 von RCA Victor zum Label Columbia Records wechselte - und die erste Wiederveröffentlichung der meisten von ihnen.
- Klassische, mitreißende Honky-Tonk-Singles aus den 1970er Jahren wie "Ain't Love a Good Thing", das von ihr selbst mitgeschriebene "You've Got Me Right Where You Want Me" und ihre Hit-Aufnahmen der Everly Brothers "(Till) I Kissed You" und "So Sad".
- Dutzende von vergriffenen und lange Zeit schwer zu findenden Aufnahmen, darunter ihr unvergessliches Weihnachtsalbum "Joy to the World", das von ihren eigenen Arrangements religiöser Weihnachtslieder geprägt ist, und das einzigartige, Geschichte machende "Connie Smith Sings Hank Williams Gospel".
- Connie Smiths fesselnde Interpretationen von Country-Songs aus der Blütezeit des Country aus der Feder von Dallas Frazier, Don Gibson, Bill Anderson, Doug Kershaw, Tom T. Hall, Lefty Frizzell, Harlan Howard, Eddie Raven und Jessi Colter.
- Connies fundierte Kenntnisse der Country-Gospel-Musik kamen bei der Einführung neuer Songs dieses Genres von Kris Kristofferson, Dolly Parton, Porter Wagoner, Larry Gatlin und Dottie Rambo zum Tragen, zusätzlich zu dem Album mit elf Gospelsongs von Hank Williams.
- Eine neue Erkundung der Steel-Gitarre, die den "Connie-Smith-Sound" in den Vordergrund stellt, indem sie virtuelle Gesangs-Gitarren-Duette mit den Steel-Helden Weldon Myrick, Lloyd Green, John Hughey, Jimmy Day, Buddy Emmons und Hal Rugg vorträgt.
- Detaillierte Geschichten über Connie Smiths enge Zusammenarbeit mit den Columbia-Produzenten Ray Baker und George Richey, die ihr die Songauswahl und den modernen, aber dennoch traditionellen Sound ermöglichten, der sie durch die pop-zentrierte John Denver-Olivia Newton John County-Ära brachte, ohne dass ihr klassischer Country-Sound verloren ging. Das Buch basiert auf ausführlichen neuen Interviews mit Connie Smith selbst und mit dem Produzenten Baker, die der Autor Barry Mazor geführt hat.
- Connie Smith - The Latest Shade of Blue" ist der dritte Teil der Bear Family-Chronik über eine der meisterhaftesten Sängerinnen der Country-Musik in den Jahren, die ihren Ruf und ihre Bekanntheit begründeten, und folgt auf die beiden Bücher über ihre früheren Jahre bei RCA Victor, "Born to Sing" (1964-1967) und "Just For What I Am" (1968-1972).

Connie Smith
"There's only three real female singers: Barbra Streisand, Linda Ronstadt, and Connie Smith. The rest of us are only pretending."
Dolly Parton
There are singers and there are stars. Connie Smith is a singer ...by common consensus one of the great voices of country music... but the star's mantle sits uneasily upon her. The gregariousness and easy laugh just barely mask the innate shyness. The first prerequisite of stardom is that you must never tire of talking about yourself, but it doesn't come easily to Connie Smith. She is a natural born singer, but not a natural born entertainer. Her life revolves around music, but more so around her children and grandchildren. It's family portraits that line her living room, not onstage shots or award plaques.
Comparisons don't mean much, but it sometimes seems more than coincidental that Connie began recording within a year or so of Patsy Cline's death. After a ten-year struggle, Patsy had become the best pure singer in country music. Her death left a void, one that Connie Smith seemed to fill overnight. Connie's first record, released when she was just twenty-two, was remarkably mature and fully realized. Her voice was so musical and so free of artifice that there was almost universal assent that the next great one had arrived.
The rags to riches story, played up in the liner notes to Connie's first album, is no less true for being oft-repeated. Constance June Meador was born on August 14, 1941 in Elkhart, Indiana, near Chicago. Her parents, Hobart and Wilma Meador, were from West Virginia, and returned there when Connie was five months old, moving on to Dungannon, Ohio. Hobart Meador was an alcoholic, abusive to the family, and Wilma divorced him when Connie was seven. Wilma eventually married a man named Tom Clark, and Connie only saw her father twice after that. He died in 1962. "There were five of us," Connie remembered, "and my stepfather had eight children. He and my mom had two kids, one stillborn, so at one point there was fourteen kids in the house. I was in the middle. There were six younger than me, and the rest were older. They needed to watch the little ones, see they didn't get hurt, watch the big ones, see they didn't get into trouble. If someone came to the house, I'd bring them a glass of water and a chair to make sure I'd get noticed."
Country music was the soundtrack to Connie Smith's life. "My real daddy's favorite singer was Ernest Tubb," she says, "and my mom's was Eddy Arnold. The first song I remember learning was 'You Are My Sunshine.' My dad played 'Til The End Of The World' over and over. My stepfather played mandolin, and he had a brother who played fiddle, and another brother who played guitar. They'd play square dances. We'd listen to the Opry when we could pick it up. My favorites were the Louvin Brothers." Connie discovered that she was distantly related on her mother's side to a vintage bluegrass act, the Lilly Brothers, but that realization didn't come until years later. "I remember when I was five saying I was going to sing on the Grand Ole Opry," she said, "but I was so bashful, I couldn't bear for people to hear me sing. Around that time, we were moving, and we had a big ol' overstuffed chair out in the yard they hadn't moved yet. I was sitting in that chair singing. I looked up and saw them watching me, and I ran off and cried."
Connie seems to have been the only fifteen year-old wholly unaffected by Elvis and the rock 'n' roll upheaval. Maybe her life had so little in common with the 'Honey, I'm home' Fifties sitcom world. The shoes she wore to graduation were bought with money taken up in a class collection. Friends were hard to keep. "We moved a lot," she says. The idea of performing music took hold after an aborted prom: "My sister had a prom dress that I was going to wear, but it had been stolen. I said, 'I don't want to go to that ol' prom anyway,' so I went to the square dance. A boy I knew from high school was leading the band, and they were singing and playing up there, and I'd never sung with music, but they invited me up. I sang 'My Happiness.' The band was waiting on me, and I was waiting on them, and the timing just kinda went. It got so bad, everybody had to quit dancing. But I made three dollars. My first paying gig."
Doc and Chickie Williams, stars of WWVA's World's Original Jamboree in Wheeling, West Virginia, were the first name act to visit her neighborhood, but Opry star Martha Carson was the first to leave a deep impression. "I got the feeling," Connie told Eddie Stubbs, "that if she'd jumped off the stage and headed down the street, everyone would have followed her like the Pied Piper." Country music couldn't always be heard on local radio, so when Connie is quizzed on her influences, she'll surprise you with names like Sarah Vaughan and Ella Fitzgerald. "It's like reading a book," she told Dan Cooper. "You eat the meat and leave the bones. You pick whatever you like. Whatever fits you. I love the way Jean Shepard hits a note solid on, true as a bell. With Sarah Vaughan it's finesse. And then Mahalia Jackson, the freedom. If she's in the middle of a word and needs a breath, she'll take a breath."
In 1959, Connie graduated from Salem-Liberty High School in Lower Salem, Ohio. ....

Beautiful box and finally all her material complete with her other two boxes from Bear Family.

About the box; really beautiful with relevant information and at last the CD's are enclosed in cardboard boxes and not in jewelcases with simple inlays !!
Thank you Bear Family for this great release
Schnell empfangen.
Ich binn sehr zufrieden.
Als Country Music noch Country Music war
Warum habe ich mir diese Box zugelegt? ich habe doch alle Alben von Connie Smith. Ganz einfach. Hier bekommt man nahezu unerschöpfliche Hintergrundinformationen zu der Künstlerin und den Songs. Das gebundene Buch lässt da keine Wünsche offen. Und auch das Bildmaterial ist beeindruckend. Sieht man nicht nur die üblichen professionell erstellten Promoaufnahmen sondern auch Schnappschüsse die nicht immer ganz scharf sind, aber doch ihren eigenen Reiz auf den Betrachter ausüben. Connie Smith - eine einmalige Stimme und eine echte Persönlichkeit. 9 längst gestrichene Alben auf 4 CDs verteilt in bester Soundqualität. Was will man mehr? Die Anzahl der CD Boxen mit weiblichen Künstlern, aus der Welt der Country Music, hält sich leider in Grenzen. Darum ist diese Box um so wichtiger. Ich denke jeder der sich diese Box zulegt wird es nicht bereuen.
P.S. Eine Box von Pretty Miss Norma Jean wäre schön
