My current Patsy Cline collection consists of the 2003 remastered Patsy Cline's Greatest Hits or 12 Greatest Hits (depends whether you read the spine of the jewel case or the front/back cover art), the woefully botched import Beat Goes On twofer, Showcase/Sentimentally Yours (don't even touch it with a ten foot pole! Stay far, far away!), and the original MCA reissue of Showcase. I'm surprised no one else commented on this box set since its recent release.

It should be arriving in a couple of days. When I Get Thru With You (You’ll Love Me Too)Ģ1. I Can’t Help It (If I’m Falling In Love With You)Ĥ. You Were Only Fooling (While I Was Falling In Love)Ģ. You Made Me Love You (I Didn’t Want To Do Itġ. Have You Ever Been Lonely (Have You Ever Been Blue)ġ4. A Poor Man’s Roses (Or A Rich Man’s Gold)ġ3.

The great remastered music is elaborated on by a series of remarkable period photos and insightful liner notes by Colin Escott.ħ. From standards to country classics, from Cole Porter and Irving Berlin to Willie Nelson and Hank Williams, the songs, Bradley’s full-bodied productions, and Patsy’s performances shine throughout. By then, she had recorded the 51 masters on this new collection, and these 51 tracks have become the crown jewels in this country Queen’s recorded legacy. Unfortunately, that illustrious combination only was to last until Patsy died in a plane crash at age 30 in March 1963.

All she needed was the right material, and Owen Bradley and Decca provided it. The next year also produced her classic “Crazy,” which reached #2, and “She’s Got You,” her second #1, and Patsy Cline’s star has shown brightly ever since. Owen and Patsy immediately looked more broadly for material, and their first three song session under the new contract instantly produced gold in “I Fall To Pieces,” her first Country #1 and her first charting recording in almost three years. Bradley was already producing Patsy’s recordings, but was limited by 4 Star’s insistence on dominating the copyrights of the songs she was recording. In 1960, after five years of recording with 4 Star (distributed via Decca Records), Patsy Cline signed directly to Decca Records and producer Owen Bradley.
