One of the pioneers of the country pop "Nashville Sound" of the late '50s and early '60s, Patsy Cline's remarkable voice still resonates amongst vocalists today, in pop as well as country. Her earthy yet studied approach as a singer gave such records as '57's "Walkin' after Midnight" and 1961's "Crazy" (penned by Willie Nelson) a unique quality unmatched since her death in a 1963 plane crash. This 24-track retrospective was originally released shortly thereafter and includes all of her classics such as the above tracks as well as "She's Got You," and "Sweet Dreams." It also features some nice extras, such as her takes on standards such as "San Antonio Rose" and "The Wayward Wind." --Billy Altman

Her voice can convert ANYONE to Country Music ! April 3, 2007
Patsy Cline is not your typical twang and twirl country gal. She had the most versatile voice in recorded music history. She could croon a country ballad, turn around and belt out a rockabilly tune, and then swoop a jazz song. In this collection, you get Patsy at her truest self. Where she found her impeccable voice and put it with just the right material. I know so many people that don't like Country Music (which is a shame, because they're missing out!) but have discovered Patsy Cline's music and have been converted. Her records and voice are timeless.

If you want one CD with all the hits and more, this is the one. It's too bad that Patsy Cline set the standard so high, because no one can seem to even get close! Makes a great dinner date background music record, also.!
Setting the standard for those that followed October 16, 2003

Patsy set the standard for female country singers, with many of those that followed trying (or so it seemed) to be the next Patsy Cline - even today, forty years after her death in a plane crash. All but one of Patsy's classic songs can be found on this collection. Crazy was a top ten pop hit in America and (in 1990) a top twenty hit in Britain. Heartaches was Patsy's first American top forty pop hit. Don Gibson wrote Sweet dreams and had a big country hit with it, but once Patsy recorded it, it became much more popular and will be forever thought of as a Patsy Cline song. She's got you was an American top twenty pop hit and was also Patsy's first British hit, albeit only a minor one I fall to pieces was yet another top twenty pop hit in America. Walking after midnight is the song that began it all for Patsy in the fifties. Poor man's roses, Back in baby's arms and Leaving on your mind are other Patsy classics included here. The only serious omission is Faded love, a cover of a Bob Wills song that, like Sweet dreams, is regarded as a Patsy Cline classic despite being a cover.
Adequate compensation for the omission of Faded love is provided via Patsy's fine interpretations of Your cheating heart (Hank Williams), I love you so much it hurts (Eddy Arnold), Wayward wind (Gogi Grant), South of the border (Gene Autry), True Love (Bing Crosby), San Antonio rose (Bob Wills), You belong to me (Jo Stafford) and many other fine songs.
Prior to 2004, this compilation was arguably the strongest single CD of Patsy's music available despite the omission of Faded love. With the release of Definitive collection in 2004, I now recommend that collection instead. It only contains 22 tracks instead of the 25 here but there are no serious omissions and everything there has been digitally re-mastered.

This is the one to get for your collection. Sheer enjoyment! A great talent captured here to be enjoyed over and over again. If only we could have comparable contemporary talent. The nuisances and song interpretations are subtle, yet outstanding!

If you can only buy one Patsy Cline CD, this is it. All of her biggest hits are here, as well as a few of the minor (but no less important) ones. I've had the cassette and record album versions of this compilation for years and was thrilled to find it on CD. Patsy Cline was the best; this collection shows you why!
