These lists are subjective, of course, but I really can’t see having “You’ll Never Leave Harlan Alive” below #1 or #2. Its impact is too great.

I am a bit surprised “What’s A Broken Heart” isn’t on here; masterful vocal and song.

I love “That’s Exactly What I Mean” and wish it was better known.

I took Patty for granted throughout the 90s. She was constantly played on the radio it seemed, and was one of those artists you couldnt listen for more than an hour without hearing her. But now that those days are long gone, i can go back and realize how good i really had it.
I have been listening to “Over My Shoulder” ALOT lately. Actually all of Patty’s songs have been on shuffle lately.

My absolute favorites would have to be “Nothin’ But the Wheel” and “You’ll Never Leave Harlan Alive” and I usually tend to prefer her ballads (“Ship” also) but have enjoyed some of the more uptempo numbers as well (“That’s the Kind of Mood I’m In”, “High On Love”). One I could never quite catch on to though was “I Try To Think About Elvis”. It just seemed like a novelty and she is better than that. Thanks for a great read!

I am a great admirer of Patty’s, and have been on the bandwagon since that first CD nearly 20 years ago(!).

My favorite song of hers is probably “Ships”, which appears on “When Fallen Angels Fly”. To me, this Gretchen Peters song expresses, better than anything, the possibility of second chances in love and life. It’s a three-minute movie, and Patty’s vocal is mature, sensitive and really heartfelt.

Kevin,

It’s funny you say that. Because I was inspired by this feature so much, as I type, I’m going through her CDs and ripping the stuff that wasn’t already on my computer onto it right now.

The cool thing about this feature is how it reminds people about how great a certain artist is. Blake, you’re responsible for Miss Loveless going back into heavy rotation in my car!

Joe, I wish I was hearing Loveless on my radio stations as much as you are!

I’ve always loved “Hurt Me Bad” and I’m glad to see it on here. Also: “To Have You Back Again,” and “Here I Am.”

I’d also include:
“Can’t Get Enough”
“That’s the Kind of Mood I’m In”
“The Last Thing On My Mind”
“High On Love”
“She Drew A Broken Heart”
“Blue Memories”
“The Night’s Too Long”
the entire “Only What I Feel” album
ditto for “Honky Tonk Angel.”

My only problem with Patty Loveless is that when she had a big hit, it was a really BIG hit song that radio refused to stop playing. For that reason, right or wrong, whether it’s a genuinely good song or not, because I’m just so tired of hearing them, I change the station now whenever I hear:
“How Can I Help You Say Goodbye”
“I Try To Think About Elvis”
“Blame It On Your Heart”
“You Don’t Even Know Who I Am.”
