October 22 – Patsy Cline – Songs of Love

How can you go wrong with Patsy Cline, I said to myself and possibly out loud as I pulled the CD from the Barnes and Noble $4.99 country section. I was looking for Mary Chapin Carpenter. Well it seems you can go wrong with Patsy Cline, but it’s okay. Even though most of the songs on the Songs of Love compilation are really songs of woe and angst, and are frankly kind of stupid, I do now have her singing Willie Nelson’s “Crazy” in that soulful voice. But neither head nor body could get into it and I wound up working out to The Beastie Boys. I needed a little “Funky Boss” tonight. I’m sure Patsy will get taken out again, maybe not by me, but a guest perhaps. It is after all, Patsy Cline.
