MAKE NO MISTAKE! This is not another
repackaging of “greatest hits.” This CD
contains 26 NEW, UNRELEASED TRACKS featuring
the great Patsy Cline! To commemorate
the 50th year since her passing, 20 of Patsy’s
best-loved studio tracks have been
overdubbed with new music to give them a
fresh appeal. While Patsy’s voice was
timeless, the original accompaniment sounds
very outdated, in the context of today’s
musical preferences. So her tracks have been
stripped down to the bare essentials, her
vocals given 24-bit digital remastering for
greater clarity, then tasteful new music added
to complement her great talent. Some of the
finest musicians, background singers and
orchestrators working today — in studios from
Nashville to Europe — have applied their
talents with the utmost respect for Patsy’s
musical legacy, to create these new
recordings. You won’t believe your ears! It
sounds as if she is in the room singing just
for you. She has also been brought more into
the solo spotlight by getting rid of some of
the Jordanaires’ original backing that
overwhelmed her voice at times! The CD also
includes a 6-song Patsy
UNRELEASED “in concert” bonus! Hear
Patsy introduce and laugh with the band. THE DIVINE MS. CLINE is one of
the greatest CDs you’ll ever own. The new
music runs the gamut and includes lush strings
and  pretty guitars (“Why Can’t
He Be You”); dobro, twin fiddles and steel
guitar featuring
musicians from today’s Grand Ole Opry
band (“San Antonio Rose”); a 19-piece
orchestra backing Patsy — with a large string
section, oboe, French horn, flute, harp, etc.
(“Wayward Winds,” “True Love”); lively Spanish
guitar, strings and twin trumpets (“South of
the Border”); and a bluesy, 5-piece brass
section backing Patsy during a delightful
jazz-inspired romp (“Seven Lonely Days”).
There’s a soulful sax treatment as Patsy sings
the blues (“So Wrong”); a smooth trombone and
new choral backing on “Heartaches” (done at a
slower tempo than the original); plus strings
and a New Orleans jazz soprano sax on “Just A
Closer Walk With Thee.” Hear “You Belong To
Me” done country style. Also enjoy Patsy
singing a song she never recorded for Decca,
“Tennessee Waltz,” which she does in a
surprisingly intimate, crooning style with
strings and a 5-piece trombone section! You’ll
love Patsy’s alternate, studio vocal on
“Leavin’ On Your Mind,” in a plush orchestral
arrangement spiced with country guitar. As one
reviewer wrote, “This CD is luminescent and
glows with warmth and sensitivity. It is truly
superb.” This
is music to listen to by moonlight, or get
up and dance to! Play it in the car or take
it to the beach with you. Includes a colorful,
16-page booklet by award-winning
author Larry Jordan, along with rare photos. FOR TRACK LISTING CLICK ON BACK OF CD.
