Come Along and Walk with Me
Résumé
Come Along and Walk with Me is seventeenth solo studio album by American country singer Connie Smith. It was released in October 1971 via RCA Victor and consisted of ten tracks. The album was Smith’s third collection of gospel songs. The disc included original songs and covers of songs first cut by other artists. Among the song included on the project were three by gospel performer Dottie Rambo. Following its release, Billboard gave the album a positive review.
Prior to the making of Come Along and Walk with Me, Connie Smith had nearly a decade of top ten and top 20 country singles. In 1968, she became a Christian which ultimately influenced her to record more gospel material. Many of her regular country albums had featured one or two gospel selections. Yet, Smith wanted to record a full-length gospel collection. In a 2012 interview with Barry Mazor, Smith explained that recording a gospel album was not in the interest of her record label. However, Smith also realized that she was "making them money at the time" and "there were some things they needed to appease".
Smith went into the recording studio to cut material for Come Along and Walk with Me over the course of three days in 1971: June 1, June 2 and June 3. The sessions were produced by her longtime producer at the RCA Victor label, Bob Ferguson. The pair recorded at RCA Victor Studios, located in Nashville, Tennessee. Three overdub sessions were also added that included background vocals from the Nashville Edition. The gospel collection contained a total of ten tracks. Biographer Barry Mazor considered the project to be a departure from that of her previous gospel albums. Mazor found the material and the sound to be performed in the "outright gospel song mode" that featured "complex narratives". In an interview with Mazor, Smith further added that the material chosen for the project were based on her growth as a Christian during that time.
The album's title track came from one of two songs penned by Dallas Frazier and Doodle Owens.
