Back in Baby's Arms

Résumé
Back in Baby's Arms is the thirteenth solo studio album by American country singer Connie Smith. It was released in October 1969 via RCA Victor and contained 11 tracks. The disc contained a mixture of both new recordings and cover versions of previously-recorded material. Back in Baby's Arms reached the top 20 of the American country albums chart in 1969 and received a four-star rating from AllMusic. Connie Smith reached peak success in the mid and late 1960s with the launch of her debut single called "Once a Day". Released in 1964, the song topped the American country chart for eight weeks and brought a series of follow-up singles into the top ten through 1969. In 1968, Smith became a Christian, which affected her both personally and professionally. Yet, Smith continued to record for her label (RCA Victor) with the same output as in previous years. However, Smith made the commitment to incorporate more gospel music into her country studio albums. This trend would be seen on her next studio sessions for the recording of Back in Baby's Arms which included country music material, along with one gospel song. Smith went into RCA Victor Studios in July 1969 to record the tracks for Back in Baby's Arms. The sessions were produced by her longtime RCA producer Bob Ferguson. One track, "What Would I Do Without You", was pulled from Smith's July 1968 session. The album contained a total of 11 tracks. Many of the album's recordings were covers of both country and pop songs of the era. The title track was a cover of the song originally recorded by Patsy Cline. Smith's was done in an up-tempo "shuffle", according to biographer Barry Mazor. "The Wedding Cake" was originally a charting single for pop artist Connie Francis in 1969. Smith also covered "Long Black Limousine", which had previously been recorded by both Bobby Bare and Elvis Presley. Smith's version was more "deliberate" and "dramatic", according to Mazor. Also included was a cover of Brenda Lee's "Fool #1". Smith also cut Brenda Lee's "Too Many Rivers", which reached the American pop top 20 in 1965.
