This is the longest selling album in the history of country music. Released in 1967, this collection of a dozen gems from country music's greatest female voice raced to #5 on the country charts upon release and has spent over 630 weeks on the country catalog charts since reissue on CD in 1988. Digitally remastered/HDCD. MCA. 2003.
In the late 1950s and the '60s, country music was essentially a singles medium. This album, first released in 1967 and reissued on compact disc in 1988, collects Patsy Cline's biggest hits — all of them from the country singles market — including "Walkin' After Midnight," "Sweet Dreams (Of You)," "Crazy," and "I Fall to Pieces." Producer Owen Bradley surrounds Cline's full-throated, emotionally charged vocals with lush, sophisticated arrangements that set the standard for Nashville's "countrypolitan" sound. Before Shania Twain found a new (though not necessarily improved) way to combine country and pop in the 1990s, this was the top-selling country album of all time by a female artist. — Rick Mitchell

- Best CD
- I love this CD. Patsy Cline has one of the most beautiful female voices!… More reviews
- A Good Choice
- I think that this CD of Patsy Cline's music is great because it contains the favorites that people remember, and the sound portion couldn't be any clearer. More reviews
- Aahh, that's more like it!
- I've been listening to this album for most of my life. It's just part of who I am. Lately I had economized by transferring my CDs to CDR or my digital devices. Unfortunately two albums, including this, became swamped in distortion and therefore unlistenable.
Finding a new remastered version is great, and all the old feelings came flooding back after this arrived.
- Crazy for Patsy
- I love this cd. Patsy Cline is still amazing after all these years. The recording is so clear. It's like she's right in your living room. I love it, and you will too. Order the cd, you wont regret it. I know I didn't More reviews
- Discover This (if you haven't)
- A few seasons ago I was watching Lost and in Ana Alicia's flashback she was listening to Patsy Cline's "Crazy". I thought to myself, "That really is a great song. I should buy me some Pasty." Then when
I went to Hairspray at the Pantages, we stopped for cocktails at the Frolic Room, a small Hollywood bar (and oh so frickin' cool) next to the theater. As some… More reviews
