Country legend brings her own brand of gospel to amphitheater
From the Chillicothe (OH) Gazette
Connie Meador has come a long way since her days singing at the Washington County Fair.
Known to the world as country music legend Connie Smith, she'll bring her "big mouth Christian" style and "hillbilly" talent to the stage at the River of Life Amphitheatre tonight at 8.
"It will be fun," she said. "We'll be doing some of the songs that were instrumental in getting me started in the country music business so many years ago and a lot of gospel."
Her first album, a self-titled release, was released in August 1964 and topped the country charts by November.
"I've been tremendously blessed to work with some great people and I love singing hillbilly music. It's what I do best," she said.
