Connie Smith and the Hall Of Famers
I just relaxed a bit and listened to the Connie Smith, my all time favorite singer. Her RCA material is fantastic, but this time I listened to her Columbia records from the mid-70's, material that's often underrated. Man, she is sounding great and the Steel Guitar playing!
On these albums you can hear non less than 6 Steel Guitar Legends: Weldon Myrick, Lloyd Green, Jimmy Day, Buddy Emmons, Hal Rugg and John Hughey!
Some of the songs that give me special chills:
One Little Reason (Weldon Myrick)
Storms Never Last (Jimmy Day)
The Latest Shade Of Blue (Buddy Emmons)
I'm All Wrapped Up In You (Buddy Emmons)
I Still Feel The Same About You (Hal Rugg)
Letting Go (Lloyd Green)
Key's In The Mailbox (Lloyd Green)
When You Hurt Me More Than I Love You (John Hughey)
Love Held On To Me (John Hughey)
Absolutely great music!
Kind Regards, Walter

Hmmh...I don't think that Connie's loyal group of fans is limited to Walters only?
For Billy: The box set by Bear Family covers her early years with RCA starting 1964, all those great records ("Cry, Cry, Cry", "Once A Day", Tiny Blue Transistor Radio" etc.). She recorded a total of nine albums for Columbia between 1973 and 1976, they all contain great music with Connie's unbelievable voice and all those Steel Guitar legends backing her up! These records are timeless!
Kind Regards, Walter

Scott,
Please don't interfere - this is only for Walters (who have to be CS fans!).
To be serious: "When A House Is Not A Home" was on the album "Where Is My Castle (RCA LSP 4474) from 1971. I don't think this one was rereleased on CD so far. You're right, that's a beautiful intro!
Kind Regards, Walter

Here's a quote from Dolly Parton:
"There's only three real female singers: Barbra Streisand, Linda Ronstadt and Connie Smith. The rest of us are only pretending."
May not everybody's opinion, but for Connie - she really was "born to sing".
Kind Regards, Walter

I think Connie's election to the HOF is overdue!
