Oh, and if you're bothering with the instrumentation on a Patsy Cline song then you're doing it wrong. There's a reason the album is called Showcase. Everything else is meant to support her vocals.

I appreciate the context, Batty. That was helpful. Thanks for sharing your perspective.

Patsy Cline - Showcase

Purdy Country & Western that I could see popping up on the jukebox of a haunted whiskey hole where the Ghost Riders In The Sky might be a more literal thing. But all imaginative subversions aside, Patsy was at the top of her game here and had plenty of great American Songbook-esque material to play with. Back in the 50's and early 60's there was less of a divide between the Brill Building pop stuff that ruled radio back then and albums like this one, but songs like 'South Of The Border' definitely point to an interesting place further down the road.

I personally prefer Johnny Mathis or Roy Orbison as far as this era of music goes (plus all the great jazz being made), but this was a great album experience and I can see why it means so much to Batty. 8 out of 10

That's as startling to me as if you said,"In 35 years of studying human anatomy, I've never heard of the clitoris."

I'm not exaggerating.

Yeah srsly. Patsy Cline is just one of those names you hear, even if only in passing, even if you never knew she did "Crazy", cause how the hell does the name "Patsy Cline" not pass your ears at some point in over thirty years?

Once I saw that was your pick I didn't think it was a good pick because I didn't think anyone would have the audacity to criticize it.

Years 0-13: Suburbanite cultural cul-de-sac.
Years 13-18: A rubber room devoid of external cultural stimuli
Year 18: Discarded television and radio
Years 18-25: Development of the web and filesharing, with a strong focus on madrigal prog and electronic music
Years 25-35: Obsession with ambient, early music early 20th Century electroacoustic, general avant-garde, modern classical, and electronic microgenres

At what point in that history would I have encountered Patsy Cline?

These are prime times for you to have actually heard of Patsy Cline, as I did, years before I ever even toyed with the idea of listening to her, or even knew that that song I'd heard from god knows how many places, "Crazy", was her song.

I understand that I'm an anomaly, but there is really nowhere where I would have likely been exposed to her music. Without a TV or radio, I've little exposure to commercial music. And remember that I stopped shopping in stores around age 18 as well, so MUZAK exposure was also limited. Really, other than the web, I have no idea what this planet is like.

I enjoy this cultural isolation, though I do try to maintain at lease a fundamental knowledge of the essentials. I'm sorry, but Patsy Cline was not among them.
