"Crazy" to NOT buy this album!,
By AngieW "AW" (NY) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Definitive Collection (Audio CD)
Yesterday, I walked into my local media store and saw this gem without knowing that day was the day Patsy Cline's Definitive Collection hit the stores. Thought it was a wonder that I didn't see this kind of collection (22 songs) for this kind of price (won't name it here but better than any double CD) before. So of course I took it home with me. Got hooked on Patsy when Dad would play her "12 Greatest Hits" CD (back when CD's first came to being in the mid-80s). Loved her ever since. There is no one who can match the country teardrop in her voice, the sassiness she gets on "Walking After Midnight", her wistful song selections from the ballads to the honky-tonkin' twangers. And this collection proves it. Buy it, you will not be disappointed. Unless you hate gool ol' country music, in which you're not reading this review anyways.

She's Got You,
By
This review is from: Definitive Collection (Audio CD)
If you have an unlimited budget than nothing can replace the original albums, however this album is better than just a sampler. With 22 songs they cover just about Everson's favorites. For those new to Patsy you will not feel that you miss anything with this collection. For me it is nostalgic and I fall right back into the time of the original airing on the radio.Everyone recognizes songs like "I Fall To Pieces". But it is the ones that we do not hear all the time that makes this album worth while and before you know it "She's Got You"

It Just Keeps Getting Better,
By W. Patch "Audiophile" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Definitive Collection (Audio CD)
Although there are more Patsy Cline remasters and compilations than you can count (over 200 with Amazon), this one has the best sound. Maybe because it has the newest technology, but remastering is as much art as science, and Doug Schwartz is one of the best. Compliments to him for a terrific job. The voice track stands out better from the music tracks and has an amazing amount of detail and reality.And the voice, of course, is the standard of what country music is all about. Whether it's the lament of "Leaving on Your Mind" or the oldest standard, "Always", no one could wrap around a song and put more into it/get more out of it than she did. Simply and without anything extra. No matter how many or few of her albums you have, buy this one to discover a new presence to her voice and fall in love with her again. 44 of 48 people found the following review helpful

Patsy made female country singers acceptable,
By Peter Durward Harris "Pete the music fan" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Definitive Collection (Audio CD)
Patsy set the standard for female country singers, with many of those that followed trying (or so it seemed) to be the next Patsy Cline - even today, over forty years after her death in a plane crash. Many compilations are available but most of them seem to miss something important. Not this one - all of Patsy's classic songs can be found here.Crazy was a top ten pop hit in America and (in 1990) a top twenty hit in Britain. Heartaches was Patsy's first American top forty pop hit. Don Gibson wrote Sweet dreams and had a big country hit with it, but once Patsy recorded it, it became much more popular and will be forever thought of as a Patsy Cline song. She's got you was an American top twenty pop hit and was also Patsy's first British hit, albeit only a minor one I fall to pieces was yet another top twenty pop hit in America. Walking after midnight is the song that began it all for Patsy in the fifties. Poor man's roses, Back in baby's arms and Leaving on your mind are other Patsy classics included here. Faded love, a cover of a Bob Wills song that, like Sweet dreams, is regarded as a Patsy Cline classic despite being a cover. Also here are Patsy's fine interpretations of Lovesick blues, Half as much (Hank Williams), True Love (Bing Crosby), San Antonio rose (Bob Wills), Always (written by Irving Berlin) and many other fine songs. If you just want one CD of Patsy's music, make it this one. 31 of 36 people found the following review helpful

It Doesn't Get Better Than This,
By Eclectic Revisited "Charlie" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Definitive Collection (Audio CD)
Whether you love classic country music or hate it, whether you were there to hear Patsy sing "Walkin' After Midnight" in 1957 or saw the movie "Sweet Dreams" OR just discovered her, this is a compilation that will not let you down. This Winchester, Virginia, native thrilled the music world like no other and continues to do so, long after her untimely death in a plane crash with country singers Hawkshaw Hawkins and Cowboy Copas. Patsy could make her voice break and thus break our hearts with her soulful rendering of songs written (and often recorded) by some of country music's greatest. Consider "Sweet Dreams" (Don Gibson), "Crazy" (Willie Nelson), "I Fall to Pieces", "She's Got You", "Why Can't He Be You?" (Hank Cochran), "Back in Baby's Arms" (Bob Montgomery whose life has been rich in "country", including a pre-Crickets duo with Buddy Holly), "Faded Love" (co-written by Bob Wills of Texas Playboys fame), "Leavin' On Your Mind" (co-written by country/honky tonk great Webb Pierce) and "Always" by one of the all-time great composers of American standards, Irving Berlin. If you want just one Patsy Cline CD, this is probably the one for you.
