I have all albums by many artists actually (Jon Randall comes to mind). I have every Billy Yates album released too.

One of the YouTube account holders actually has quite a nice collection of Patty Loveless clips. I hope you’ve had a chance to check it out. I’m ever-improving on my CD collection for her. I’ve had the same trouble at major retail stores, but thankfully we have quite a few older record stores in Nashville. I have all the major releases at this point except for the Christmas album, her debut album and 2-3 of the compilations (although I own some individual tracks). Next will be the duets and guest appearances. And of course “Sleepless Nights”!

And you are absolutely right. Nothing compares to the actual CD (or record). May it never go out of style.

Wed, 06 Aug 2008 04:59:15 +0000 http://countryuniverse.wordpress.com/?p=1468#comment-7792 B Jonathan,, I gotta say, you have EXCELLENT taste in fine Country music! I like all five you have listed.

As for my collection, I actually RE discovered Patty in 05, and had a lot of catching up to do. I missed many of her best songs in the nineties (long story), not to mention the absolute masterpieces she made since the turn of this century…

Long story short, I mostly completed my collection with the help of Amazon, Ebay, Barnes and Noble, and Newbury Comics..new and used CDs I think it is a scandal that Patty’s albums are so poorly stocked at a lot of music stores and departments nowadays.(some do not even have her name-card dividers!) But I guess they need to make room for the current crop of Nash-Vegas Pop-tarts.

The pattyloveless.net site has some great leads for some of her more obscure recordings..lotta treasures there. Some that I really recommend are Patty’s duet with Kris Kristofferson “Far Side Banks of Jordan” from the tribute album to June Carter Cash, called ANCHORED IN LOVE

Also Patty’s duet with Radney Foster “The Rainbow Down the Road” from the soundtrack album to the movie Maverick.. GREAT song, co-written by Patty’s husband Emory Gordy Jr. with Radney…

Also, the song “Where Are You Boy from the movie Tin Cup…not sure if this is a Country song per se, but it really showcases the magic in Patty’s voice, especially in the verses..

Anyway, those are the main ones that come to mind right now…

Also, I just ordered the Ricky Skaggs compilation tribute album to Bill Monroe, called Big Mon..It includes, (or features, by my reckoning) Patty’s version of Monroe’s most excellent “Close By”…I saw a Youtube performance of this awesome Bluegrass song by Patty and Ricky Skaggs, and was blown away…I am thrilled there is a recorded version by Patty, and I cannot wait to hear it!

Hope this helps..these recomendations are if you want to supplement your collection with actual CDs…not sure about downloads..
