Converse, Connie - Vanity Of Vanities-A Tribute To Connie Converse
SKU
TZ 4019
I had never heard the amazing story of Connie Converse before this release, but there's a recounting on Wiki and it is basically the same as below, only longer. What a story!
"Connie Converse was a remarkable composer who worked in the 1950s and 1960s. By 1974, depressed over her lack of recognition and success, she packed up her belongings and drove off never to be heard of again. Little known in her lifetime, she is now viewed as a pioneer of the modern singer/songwriter genre. This exciting compilation collects fifteen of her most unique and soulful songs performed by an all-star group of contemporary singer/songwriters.
Featuring an informative essay by musician and Converse scholar David Garland, Vanity of Vanities is a heartfelt tribute to one of the unsung heroes of contemporary songwriting."
