CD DetailsSynopsis
Amazon.com Like many prominent singers of the 20th century, Patsy Cline was encouraged by label figures to stray from her roots and record pop standards intended to broaden her appeal. However, only the greatest singers--talents like Ray Charles, Frank Sinatra, Nat "King" Cole, and Etta James--can put a distinctive stamp on war horses and invest them with enough fresh emotional power to actually emerge from the experiment with an enhanced reputation. Cline certainly belongs in this group, as evidenced by this collection of 14 standards. Like James, for instance, Cline wasn't necessarily supportive of crossover dreams, but as long as she was in a studio she might as well deliver the goods, whether the musical backdrop was a steel guitar or a string section. Few singers--country or otherwise--have matched her ability to combine vulnerability and assertiveness, pain and power. --Marc Greilsamer Similar CDs

CD ReviewsMy Mom was Patsy Cline... rodwright | Phoenix, Az United States | 07/12/2000 (5 out of 5 stars) "or so it seemed! Imagine the early 60s.Kennedy is on the black and white(sound off),Patsy`s torch songs on the hi-fi, my Mom in her capri pants ironing and singing along. If that bit of nostalgia doesn`t prompt your Patsy memories, allow me to tell of the pure magic of this cd. As if Patsy were in the room this cd has been re-mastered very artfully. Andy McKaie,Doug Schwartz and their team have taken the original Decca masters and created a fantastic cd. I hope they re-master the entire Cline catalog. Unless you had the pleasure of hearing Patsy Cline in person you havn`t heard her like this!" A perfect accompaniment lee | Tx | 08/30/2001 (5 out of 5 stars) "This album is a perfect accompaniment to those who only have a greatest hits collection. Her rendition of Always is a definitive recording and should be listened to....period. Again this collection does NOT have her well-known hits like Crazy and Sweet Dreams, but is well worth owning. All this said, i must state that I am NOT a country music fan. Patsy's voice deserves a listen and you will NOT be disappointed!" Stunning Collection!! Pam Underwood | 09/03/2000 (5 out of 5 stars) "The casual fan of Patsy Cline may think their collection is complete with the GREATEST HITS CD. But they are missing so much by not buying this CD. The first two songs TRUE LOVE and YOU BELONG TO ME have been sung by the greats but never been given such exquisite treatment as by the lips of Patsy Cline. The same can be said of Heartaches and BILL BAILEY. HAVE YOU EVER BEEN LONELY reveals the lush expressiveness of her voice, and on I LOVE SO MUCH IT HURTS ME you can here the pain from her very soul. Don't miss this!"
