 Wow! November 2, 2008
Pretty great CD! I have other Patsy Cline "collection" CDs, but this is the best so far.
Everyone should have this in their home! September 17, 2008
There are icons in all types of music. Patsy Cline is an icon in country music. She is one of the few artists who sings with such emotion, she can put a lump in my throat. This one features 22 of her greatest works. There are way too many personal favorites like: Sweet Dreams, I Fall to Pieces, Back In Baby's Arms, She's Got You, Crazy and well really she could make any song come alive with emotion. The sound is superb. My only beef is that I purchased this for only 8.95 at Wal-Mart in the cardboard box and it does not feature a booklet with dates, personnel. Well, I'm an old record nerd, but for most people that may not matter. (All these songs were recorded between 1957 and 1963, the year of her tragic plane crash). If all you want is the music, this is one everyone should have in their home. Patsy Cline was in the forefront of lady country singers and the "Countrypolitan" sound of country music which brought country music from the sticks to the city. She was a once in a lifetime singer!
I must be getting old September 8, 2008
This is the first country album I ever bought. After listening to it in iTunes I immediately changed the genre to Rockabilly. Patsy Kline is by far the best and only Rockabilly album I own. I give most of the songs a 5 or 4.
Wonderful Patsy Cline album. September 2, 2008
All her best songs, and she's done a bunch. Love this album and very glad to have it in my collection.
Oh all right it's fantastic! July 27, 2008

Bearing in mind I absolutely and passionately love Patsy's Greatest Hits album, this one comes a very close second. You will need Greatest Hits for the ideal version of "Walkin' After Midnight", an improvement on the original included here.
Patsy's vocal persona was one of wounded, obsessional devotion. "Crazy" is indeed her theme song. With ten more tracks to share her unbalanced dedication, all of which are well worth inclusion, you just have all that much longer to enjoy her. Bear in mind I have only listened once, I feel confident the entire contents will form an essential part of my listening regime.
As a vehicle for demonstrating Patsy's incomparable communicative powers, this CD is probably the best you can get. Greatest Hits is pure refined gold, this one is an entire gold mine. Start digging.
