**Nuevo disco de vinilo de vinilo

Connie Converse recorded these songs alone in her New York City apartment in the 1950s, armed with nothing but an acoustic guitar and a voice that could break your heart in two minutes flat. She never released an album. In 1974, she packed her car and drove away from her life, never to be seen again. These recordings sat in a friend's closet for decades before finally seeing the light in 2009.

How Sad, How Lovely is the closest thing to a debut album she'll ever have, and it's quietly devastating. "Talkin' Like You (Two Tall Mountains)" opens with a warmth and wit that sets the tone, while "Roving Woman" and "Playboy of the Western World" reveal a songwriter working years ahead of the folk revival. Songs like "One by One," "Man in the Sky," and the aching title track feel like letters from someone who saw the world with uncommon clarity. The brevity of each track only makes them hit harder.

This 2026 Third Man Records reissue on opaque silver vinyl includes a bonus 7" with the previously unreleased "House" and a new remix of "Playboy of the Western World."
