Connie Converse was not a professional singer. She was a well-educated woman who liked to sing her own songs for her friends at parties. You could, at a pinch, describe her as a folk singer-songwriter. She sang with a wintry voice, with perfect pronunciation, and was wont to add the sort of bleak minor tones that were more at home in art music than in the folk repertoire. 1974, aged 50 and battling depression and illness, she packed her belongings into a VW Beetle and was never seen again.

Connie Converse "Talkin' Like You (Two Tall Mountains)" This song was recorded sometime in the mid-1950s, and was essentially lost to time until it was reissued last year by Lau derette Recordings .

Western States - Time To Lose MP3 King Creosote is the brainchild of Kenny Anderson, who comes from a big [...]
Still here in jury duty, but in my immense boredom, I wanted to share some music that was introduced to me by the NPR song of the day. NPR isn't cutting edge about much, but they have certainly gotten my ears up about a long-lost songwriter named Connie Converse. One of those long-gone lonely women, who has apparently since "disappeared," Converse sounds like something out of an old Kerouac text. Sorry, I'm a sucker for stories like this, especially when it comes coupled with introspective folk-ish music. Lau derette records have reissued her only recordings under the title How [...]
