It's not even remotely "generic"

She was one of the most distinct voices in the history of country music

Is it possible for me to join in still?

Patsy Cline - Showcase

I came into this expecting the worst, but was pleasantly surprised in the sense that it was a lot more pleasant than most modern country I've heard - although that's like saying it was a lot more pleasant than having my nuts nailed to the ground. Mercifully the steel guitar is very low in the mix, and the sound of the (acoustic) bass is really good - for me it suits this music better than the electric bass in most modern country. The songs themselves (apart from crazy) I just found too dull and predictable, and while I appreciate that Patsy is a great singer within that world, that style of singing just doesn't move me.

5/10

i had heard most of these tracks before actually sitting down to listen to the album, so i pretty much knew it was going to be an album that i would love.

patsy cline is great, i have fond memories of my aunt playing her stuff on vinyl when she used to babysit me and hearing this again brought me way back. good pick phatlord.

Okay well I don't normally listen to country from 55 years ago so I wouldn't know. Every song from this era sounds pretty similar to me.
