CD Reviews

A Solid Compilation

Morten Vindberg | Denmark | 06/24/2006

(4 out of 5 stars)

"This compilation concentrates on Cline's classy early 1960's recordings, which consist of two great original albums, a string of fine singles and a long list of outtakes that werte eventually released on posthumous albums released after her tragic aircrash death in 1963.

From "Showcase" (1962) 3 songs are included. Her big ballad and hit "Crazy" written Willie Nelson along with another fine ballad "I Love You so Much" and one of the few pure country tacks "San Antonio Rose".

Strange that some of the strongest material from that album has been left out ( "I Fall to Pieces", "Seven Lonely Days" or "The Wayward Wind" )

The last album released in her own lifetime "Sentimentally Yours" is better represented with great ballads like "She's Got You", "Your Cheating Heart" , "Lonely Street" and "I Can't Help it". Also from that album are sheer pop-songs like "Heartaches" and "Anytime".

Several fine recording were released posthumously on albums like "A Tribute to Patsy Cline", "In Memoriam" and "A Portrait". Among those her version of the old standard "Love Letters in the Sand" deserves to be brought out. "Why Can't He Be You" is also great.

Only early song is her breakthrough country hit "Walking After Midnight"

All in all a solid compilation though leaving out quite a few great songs like "You Belong to Me" and "That's How a Heartache Begins" - but you can't have them all on a single CD anyway, so . . ."
