Anna & Connie–What a beautiful picture of you two ladies! For our anniversary my husband surprised me and took me to see Anna and Connie perform at the Grand Ole Opry this past November. We had a wonderful time and since the show we’ve been waiting anxiously for “Countrypolitan” to come out. We purchased the album last week and let me say that it did not disappoint! We are just loving the new twist on these old tunes! Very excited for more to come from Miss Anna!
