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
