And a very nice segue after Richard and Linda Thompson!

You got that right, ziakut. She's probably the best female country vocalist of all time. If her career had gone on longer she'd have become a crossover star. Those who don't believe that should listen to her sing, then to someone trying to cover her. K. D. Laing on "Shadowland" was the only one who ever came close. Linda Ronstadt can't even stand in her shadow. How's about "Crazy", Bill? |

She looks at least 50 in this 1957 picture, which she was only 25ish.
Funny how in the old days, women wanted to look old. I think they just wanted to make her look "mature" instead of like a young, "country girl", for her target audience - that photo was probably from an early, promotional 8"x10". Unlike today, adults bought the overwhelming amount of records back then, not teenagers. However, that is not the most flattering picture of her. This photo's better:  |

He plays a mean guitar and can play almost anything Hank recorded but he sings the songs phonetically. He doesn't really know what the songs are saying. It's an absolute riot to hear him butcher "Jambalaya"   What a great little commentary! Thanks for the laughs! I can just hear your cousin now. |

Now it seams clear to me what the leading voice of Vaya Con Dios was modelled after. And the musical style no less. |

I know what you mean, but you're just asking for trouble to say that any woman WANTS to look old. It was a strange phenomenon. The baby boom. I am old enough to have witnessed that first hand, allbeit from a small child's perspective. But, you know, not all women in the 50's looked the same. Consider a contemporary, Marilyn Monroe. |

Patsy is one of the very few country artists I like. Can't resist that voice.

Sometimes I love a "busy" song - one with five-part harmony and complicated guitar solos and maybe maracas and a cowbell, and lyrics that make my jaw drop and my breath leave my body. Other times, I can just sit and grin when I hear a simple song with a beautiful vocal, an achingly-perfect background, and words that don't hurt my brain.
Patsy Cline is a classic. And she can still make my jaw drop and the breath leave my body. I could float on her music forever.

I can't believe I am listening to Patsy Cline, either. Not a fan of country music. But this is a classic any time, any place. Love it! |
