Sunshine and Rain featured an assortment of both new material and covers of songs by other country artists. The album reached the top 40 of the American country albums chart and received a favorable review from Billboard magazine following its release. Connie Smith was at the peak of her career in the mid 1960s with a series of uninterrupted top ten country singles. This was launched with her 1964 debut single, "Once a Day", which topped the country songs chart for eight weeks and brought a string of top ten singles in the years that followed. The RCA label issued ten studio albums of Smith's material between 1965 and 1968. String instrumentation was brought onto her tenth studio album to give it a more country pop sound. This sound would continue with her eleventh album, Sunshine and Rain. The recording sessions for Sunshine and Rain took place between May 1967 and July 1968 at the RCA Victor Studio in Nashville, Tennessee. The sessions were produced by Bob Ferguson, Smith's longtime producer at RCA Victor. A total of 12 tracks comprised the collection. Several new recordings were part of the album, including two cuts penned by Dallas Frazier: "How Much Lonelier Can Lonely Be" and "Sundown of My Mind". Other new recordings included the Harlan Howard-penned "To Chicago with Love", which featured a spoken recitation by Smith. She also cut Howard's original tune, "The Deepening Snow", which she found at the Tree Publishers songwriting company. The song has since been one of Smith's most requested songs in her catalog. The album also featured covers of songs first recorded by other artists. "Nat'chilly Ain't No Good" was composed by Jerry Reed but was first released as a single by his wife, Priscilla Mitchell. Although Smith felt it to be "different from most of what I do", she ultimately told Bob Ferguson that it "would be fun" to record. The album also features a female covers of Glen Campbell's "Gentle on My Mind" and Waylon Jennings's "Only Daddy That'll Walk the Line". Smith recounted only recording the latter song because of a guitar solo performed by Wayne Moss, whom she got to play on her own record. "I did it in a different key than Waylon so that was work for Wayne, but he did it!" Smith also cut Jan Howard's (wife of Harlan Howard) "What Makes a Man Wander". Sunshine and Rain was originally released in October 1968 on the RCA Victor label. It was the eleventh studio album released in Smith's career and the tenth with RCA Victor. The disc was originally distributed as a vinyl LP, with six songs on either side of the record. Decades later, the album was re-released through Sony Music Entertainment to digital and streaming sites. Following its initial release, Billboard magazine gave the album a positive response in their November 1968 issue. Reviewers praised the "heartbreak" material included on the project and highlighted the tracks "The Hurt Goes On", "How Much Lonelier Can Lonely Be", and "The Deepening Snow". Sunshine and Rain spent ten weeks on the American Billboard Top Country Albums chart, peaking at number 32 in January 1969. It was Smith's lowest peaking album up to that point in her career and her second to miss the top 20. CONDITION Descriptions: I base the condition of each of my Records off of Ebay's Grading System. • MINT (M) Looks new and unplayed. Very high vinyl luster and no noticeable label defects. Sounds new. With 45rpm records, this does not always mean there is no surface noise at all. • NEAR MINT (NM) Looks almost new, but has some minor flaws such as a drill hole; unobtrusive writing on label (e.g., an X on a promo copy); minor scuffing on vinyl; minor color flaking on label, or other insignificant flaws that only slightly detract from visual appeal. May have some minor surface noise, but nothing distracting. • VERY GOOD (VG) There may be light scuffing and some of the original vinyl luster may be lost. The vinyl and label may appear used, but well cared for. Records may have some more obvious flaws that are not visually degrading such as a sticker on the label; more noticeable writing on the label; scuffing and minor scratches on the vinyl; or minor discoloration of the label. There may be very minor warping of the vinyl. There may be a slight scratch not affecting play. • GOOD (G) Record has visible signs of handling and playing, such as loss of vinyl luster, minor surface scratches, groove wear, and audible surface noise. Appears well used but not abused. May have a few major flaws, such as scratches, label tears, or stickers, and/or writing. • FAIR (F) Appears well used and somewhat abused. Audio is not great due to surface noise and scratches. The record may have a stick or a skip. Records in this condition are those you might purchase to fill a hole in your collection until a better copy comes along. • POOR (P) Well played with little luster and significant surface noise, but still not cracked or broken. Record likely skips and/or sticks. Typically so bad looking that a true “collector” would just toss it out. More useful as a Frisbee. I try not to sell records in this condition.
