 Rating:  - StunningHad this on pre-order as soon as it was announced. I wasn't disappointed. Patty Loveless makes her way through 14 classic country songs, done exactly as they should be.

Indeed, I've heard a few great ones by country singers in recent years, notably Twang on a wire (Kate Campbell), The chain (Deana Carter), Those were the days (Dolly Parton) and Timeless (Martina McBride). I expected Patty's album to be of a similar quality, especially when I saw the track listing and so it has proved. Patty has selected songs from the fifties, sixties and seventies that particularly appealed to her. Four of them (Why baby why, He thinks I still care, Color of the blues, That`s all it took) were originally made famous by George Jones, the last-named originally being ... Read More: |
