PATSY CLINE
The Heart Of A Legend (Madacy)
Reviewed by Shaun Dale

Just thirty when she died in a plane crash in 1963, there's no doubt a 'what if' factor in the legend of Patsy Cline, but the music released during her brief turn in the limelight is the source of that speculation, and all the justification the legend requires.

The Heart Of A Legend offers 22 tracks spread over a pair of discs that are a fine testimonial to the talent that made Patsy Cline the queen of country music with considerable star power in the pop market as well. Some of the songs, "Walkin' After Midnight," "Crazy,' "Sweet Dreams (Of You)," are familiar favorites today. Some are less often heard, and perhaps only familiar to the hard core base of Patsy Cline fans. All of them, though, are worth hearing again and again, and this collection is a fine addition to the Patsy Cline catalog and an excellent selection for your record collection.

Track Lists:

Disc 1: Faded Love * You Belong To Me * Back In Baby's Arms * True Love * Someday (You'll Want Me To Want You) * I Fall To Pieces * Sweet Dreams (Of You) * Crazy * He Called Me Baby * I Love You So Much (It Hurts)

Disc 2: Walkin' After Midnight * Poor Man's Roses (Or A Rich Man's Gold) * Three Cigarettes In An Ashtray * A Church, A Courtroom & Then Goodbye * I've Loved And Lost Again * I Cried All The Way To The Altar * Pick Me Up (On Your Way Down) * Dear God * Honky Tonk Merry-Go-Round * Just Out Of Reach * Then You'll Know * A Stranger In My Arms
