How Sad, How Lovely, by Connie Converse

How Sad, How Lovely

by Connie Converse

supported by

gago over and over I listened to this album surrounded by mountains in Alaska.... I have a sly tongue and wandering eyes but this song is who I truly am!!!!!! Favorite track: There is a Vine.

Drew Burns Amazing that Connie's music has survived to this day, and even more incredible that her sound was decades ahead of its time. I thought this album was recorded only 5-10 years ago, not in 1954! Favorite track: I Have Considered the Lilies.

Boots That we are even able to hear these songs today is a miracle. So ahead of her time, the dry wit she put into her ballads catches me by surprise every playthrough. Essential! Favorite track: Man in the Sky.
