New CD Exquisite

I received my copy of “The Divine Ms. Cline” and popped it in the cd player, expecting it to be great just from listening to the samples. I have to say I was blown away. As good as the samples are, they simply don’t do the cd justice. This cd is exquisite! Patsy’s magnificent voice soars, without any distraction. It’s just her, like you’ve never heard her before. Patsy’s vocals have always been timeless; however, the same couldn’t be said for the music. Don’t get me wrong, I love the original recordings; however, the music and arrangements sound like what they are - dated to the 1960’s. That isn’t a criticism. The original recordings were magic. This new cd sounds as though these fantastic songs, paired with this magnificent voice, were recorded today. Now, the wonderful thing is, we have the original recordings to listen to and an amazing new treatment that is current. I must also give kudos to Sara Jordan – the cd flows wonderfully. You know what I’m going to say next – Buy this cd if you haven’t already! Don’t bother with the myriad repackaging of Patsy’s songs that are on Amazon. What’s the point when you can get something new?
