Thanks for a reason to pull this album back out. I am ashamed to say that my copy of this has been on the shelf collecting dust for months and months now, but I am listening to it as we speak. I really love the song ‘Who I Was With You’ and ‘A Thousand Times A Day’ is as good as any song ever written …

Oh, and I am really loving this feature too!

One of several “tingly” moments on this album: Vince Gill’s harmony vocal on “A Thousand Times A Day”.

Oh and to echo the thoughts above, the entire “Someday I Will Lead The Parade”

Thank you Blake for another great review of another great Patty Loveless album.

One of my favorites on this album, as well as one of my all time favorite Patty songs, is “Someday I Will Lead the Parade.” Someone on this site once described listening to this song as “religious experience” (Someone else describe “Harlan” that way as well). I completely agree…Patty’s songs in general are soul-nourishing and cathartic. I truly feel as though I have been blessed and cleansed whenever I listen to Patty’s music. Patty Loveless is a faithful and conscientious steward of her God-given talent, and we fans and listeners are the beneficiaries.

It is so refreshing to come to this site and read reviews by writers like Blake, (as well as so many who post here), that are so appreciative and supportive of Patty. Those who really know Country music really tend to love Patty Loveless. This stands in sharp contrast to the shameful neglect of Patty’s music by Country Radio and TV in the past several years. Hopefully this neglect will change to enthusiastic embrace once again, with the release of SLEEPLESS NIGHTS. There are hopeful signs already, but the Country music media (and market) have much to make up for. Let the atonement begin.
