I've got this disc playing in the CD player as I write this because it is SO good! Patsy Cline was such a breath of fresh air in the Honky Tonk era of the late fifties-early sixties and this greatest hit's disc showcases some of her best-loved songs and performances.
The set list:
Walkin' After Midnight
Never No More
Turn The Cards Slowly
Lovesick Blues
Let The Teardrops Falls
Hungry For Love
A Poor Man's Roses
Today, Tomorrow And Forever
Crazy Dream
If Only I Could Stay Asleep
The songs have all been digitally re-mastered and actually sound VERY good, not your usual sterile digital crap.
There are a couple of real treats on this disc. First off is the great job her various bands did playing the tunes. Some real smoking blues and honky tonk guitar and piano playing going on here, that's for sure! Also a treat is the "rock and roll" version of Hank William's trademark hit "Lovesick Blues". It doesn't exactly work (the phrasing is a bit cramped) but I loved it. Gems like this are hard to find and this one makes a good addition to the collection.
The only bad part is that the hit "Crazy" isn't included, but the rest of these great songs will make you a Patsy Cline fan guarenteed!
The disc is part of the "American Legends" series from Allegro, Inc and is cat# ALE192015, so do yourself a favor and BUY IT!!
