Looks like stormy weather : 1969-1975

"Excellent "best of" from the outlaw country singer ... Had Sammi Smith sung soul or pop, she'd be as celebrated as Dusty. Instead she used her deep, rich tones to bring to life country songs, mostly heartbreak or penitent ones wiritten by such giants as Kris Kristofferson and Merle Haggard. The first named prodvided Smith's only crossover hit: her version of Help Me Make It through the Night from 1971 is intoxicating and fuelled with deperate desire".
