Ms. Smith, headed for the 45th anniversary of her first appearance in Nashville, has a voice big as all get-out. But no matter how hard she’s belting out a classic lament or a fervent gospel song, she’s never over the top, and she’s equally unerring in dialing it back, too, whenever a song needs it, which is why Dolly Parton once put her on the short list of just three “real” female singers. Nashvillians who know that have for years had to make do with her frequent but necessarily brief Opry appearances and a few other offerings, so her first full-scale club show here in many years is a cause for celebration—and an occasion to head out the door early, as a capacity crowd is a real prospect.

It was my pleasure last night to enjoy one of the finest voices ever to come out of the twentieth century Ms.connie smith from the time she took the stage untill she encored with a hank Williams gospel number she held the full to capacity and yours truly in the palm of her hand her vocal abilities showed her to be a singers singer still even throwing in a mimic of her favorite loretta lynn which kept the audience in stitches as well as delight of her talents it is this persons hope that we will see much more of her and a early xmas wish that someone will think about seriously putting together a ladies night concert corraling the talenst of mssr smith, Lynn, Seely,Shepard,Anderson,Parton and the Queen Ms.Kitty Wells somthing for everyone and a winner.
