In the case of Carl Smith, retiring to a 500-acre ranch south of Nashville does not make for juicy gossip, and may begin to explain why Smith is such an obscure figure today.Ĭarl Smith was born near Maynardville, Tennessee, on March 15, 1927. Perhaps it is the insatiable demand for drama and tragedy that has led to the adulation for outlaws like Hank Williams, Johnny Cash, and Johnny Paycheck. This compilation seeks to rectify that situation. Although he possessed a fine voice, rugged good looks, a string of huge hits under his belt-not to mention his induction in the Country Music Hall Of Fame, Carl Smith is largely forgotten today. Of all the country music stars from the 'Golden Era' of the 1950s and 1960s, no star has faded from the public consciousness more than the great Carl Smith.
