Legendary country singer Connie Smith releases her highly anticipated 55th album Love, Prison, Wisdom and Heartaches on Fat Possum Records. On the new release, Smith takes a different approach from Cry of the Heart, her critically acclaimed 2021 effort. On Love, Prison, Wisdom and Heartaches, Connie has chosen to interpret songs that were originally sung, played or written by fellow country legends; Dottie West, Skeeter Davis, Liz Anderson, The Glaser Brothers, Loretta Lynn, Jim & Jesse, George Jones, Roy Acuff, Merle Haggard and Dallas Frazier. And while the list of songs has been in the established country canon seemingly forever, Smith’s take is more of a tribute than a recreation. When asked if this is a covers record, Smith replied, “No. Hardly. I’m singing on behalf of my friends. Hoping to share them while passing along their songs.”

This is one of the best albums Connie Smith recorded for RCA. I was excited to finally see it on CD. On this CD she sings mostly songs that were hits for other artists, but in my opinion she makes them her own. No one can compare. If you are a Connie Smith fan and a fan of tradition country music, this is for you.
