Concept
Ain't We Havin' Us a Good Time
Résumé
Ain't We Havin' Us a Good Time is the eighteenth solo studio album by American country singer Connie Smith. It was released in April 1972 on the RCA Victor label. The project contained a total of ten tracks which were considered to have a "thicker seventies" sound, according to one biographer. Included on the album was Smith's single, "Just for What I Am". It became a top five single on the North American country songs chart while the album itself reached the American country LP's top 25. Ain't We Havin' Us a Good Time received a favorable review from Billboard magazine following its release.
By 1972, Connie Smith had nearly eight years of commercial country music success. She reached her career zenith in the mid 1960s with a series of top ten hits fueled by her eight-week number one debut single titled "Once a Day". After discovering Christianity in 1968, Smith's commercial momentum slightly dipped after she re-evaluated her personal and professional choices. Yet, she continued having top ten country singles with regularity such as 1970's "I Never Once Stopped Loving You" and 1971's "Just One Time". In 1972, Smith would have three top ten country singles, including "Just for What I Am". The song would appear on Smith's next studio album, which would be titled Ain't We Havin' Us a Good Time. The album's title track would inspire the name of the project.
Smith entered the RCA Victor Studios in Nashville, Tennessee to record the project in late 1971 and early 1972. The album's material was taken from sessions held on December 10, 1971 and January 14, 1972. The track "As Long as We've Got Each Other" was pulled from a recording session on February 25, 1971. Overdub sessions were also included for the project that featured background vocals from the Nashville Edition and The Jordanaires. Smith preferred to have the background singers be overdubbed because she often found "herself phrasing with them rather than singing spontaneously", according to biographer Barry Mazor. The session instrumentation was a departure from Smith's previous material.
