Air date: Feb 04, 2012

This show was a tribute to Connie Smithe and her latest album Long Line Of Heartaches. The show opened with Marty saying, "Hi everybody, I'm Marty Stuart. Stay tuned if you will. We have a very special episode of our show. We're celebrating the music of Connie Smith and her band The Sundowners and her project Long Line Of Heartaches. You don't wanna miss it." There was a montage of photographs and video of Connie and Marty's voice saying, "As the title of her song says, she was born to sing. Constance June Meador Smith arrived in Nashville in March of 1964 and began her recording career at RCA Victor Studios by making history. Connie's 'Once A Day' became the first debut single by a female country artist to reach #1 where it remained for an unprecedented eight weeks. Fifty-two albums later and after a thirteen-year absence from recording, Connie Smith returned to Nashville's historic Studio B to record what has been called a truly modern masterpiece from one of the most influential singers in the history of country music. Long Line Of Heartaches is truly Connie Smith at her best." Songs Include: 1. Anymore - Connie Smith and The Sundowners 2. Waitin' On Sundown - Marty and The Sundowners 3.
