22 track collection spotlighting Connie's ability to successfully tackle both country and rock 'n roll. Although Connie is best known for easy listening hits like 'Where The Boys Are' and 'Who's Sorry Now', her recorded output since the late '50s has tackled nearly every style under the sun including big band, ethnic, soul and more. Even today she remains one of the biggest selling female artists of all time. This collection features 'Home On The Range', 'My Wild Irish Rose', 'Love Is Strange', 'Early In The Morning', 'Rave On', 'That'll Be The Day', 'Down In The Valley' and more. Delta. 2006.
LITTLE BIT OF COUNTRYReviewed by A. Cullen, 2009-12-21
THIS IS AN EXCELLENT CD, CONNIE IS SUCH A GOOD SINGER THAT ALL OF
HER CDS ARE GREAT NO MATTER IF ITS COUNTRY POP OR ROCK
UNUSUAL ANTHOLOGY AND A BIT ODDReviewed by Terry D. Robertson, 2007-05-29
I gave this CD 5 stars for sheer audacity of material. The "Little
Bit Country" is culled from her 1961 Brylcreem promo release for
her one and only TV Special that contains, not country, but vintage
American folk songs. "The Little Bit Rock N Roll" is derived from
selections of her UK CD tribute to Buddy Holly. It may appear a bit
jarring to go from "Down In The Valley" to "Rave On" and a bit
impossible to pull off. But only a singer of Ms. Francis' caliber
has accomplished this offbeat task. Connie was not in good voice
when she recorded the Holly tribute (due to illness), but it is
nonetheless, a sincere attempt.
The real value for collectors is the selections from the obscure
Bryclcreem promo making it way to CD for the first time. The cover
is lifted from her first UK EP "It Would Be Worth it".
And this set is definitely worth a listen to. Strange, but
engaging.
