Lesser known tracks cement Cline as one of the finest performers of her era

We Say...
Patsy Cline might not be a legend if a 1963 plane crash hadn't prematurely ended her life. She might not have been a star if she hadn't seized control of her career in the early '60s, selecting her own material and fitting her lustrous alto to the swell of strings and chorales constructed by producer Owen Bradley. Even so, these 20 lesser-known tracks — laid down between 1955 to 1960, none a hit except the title cut that made stardom possible — would cement her reputation as one of the finest female performers of her era. As compositions, not much here compares to "Crazy" or "I Fall To Pieces." Yet Cline slaps life into these straight-ahead country and rockabilly numbers with a rich, assertive belt that owes musical theatre as much as it does honky-tonk; the effect is bracing rather than stagy, with an occasional throaty growl, as on "Got a Lot of Rhythm in My Soul," establishing Cline's gutbucket cred. And Bradley's hand remains sure on these sparse arrangements — cunningly precise instrumental touches, such as the guitar that echoes Cline's vocal on "Fingerprints," hint at the settings Bradley would later employ for another female legend, Loretta Lynn.

They Say...
Patsy Cline has been reissued, anthologized, and featured in a comprehensive box set, so it is hard to believe that anyone who wanted to hear her wonderful music has not yet heard it. But if there are people who have not, this 10-track sampler of hits would be a nice place to begin. It includes the classic title single, plus other nice numbers like "Just Out Of Reach (Of My Two Open Arms)," "I'm Blue Again" and "Just A Closer Walk With Thee." Every song is a gem; this is obviously designed for newcomers or casual buyers, and would be worth it on that basis.
