True Love: A Standards Collection

Like many prominent singers of the 20th century, Patsy Cline was encouraged by label figures to stray from her roots and record pop standards intended to broaden her appeal. However, only the greatest singers--talents like Ray Charles, Frank Sinatra, Nat "King" Cole, and Etta James--can put a distinctive stamp on war horses and invest them with enough fresh emotional power to actually emerge from the experiment with an enhanced reputation. Cline certainly belongs in this group, as evidenced by this collection of 14 standards. Like James, for instance, Cline wasn't necessarily supportive of crossover dreams, but as long as she was in a studio she might as well deliver the goods, whether the musical backdrop was a steel guitar or a string section. Few singers--country or otherwise--have matched her ability to combine vulnerability and assertiveness, pain and power. --Marc Greilsamer
