I hear the ghost of Patsy Cline on the Grand Old Opry Show
A couple of Americana acts today paying homage to the late great Patsy Cline.
First up are Canadian band The Guthries with Patsy Cline from their 2000 album Off Windmill. I thought that I may have previously posted this one before but apparently not.
I know I haven't posted the Golden Age of Radio by Josh Ritter (from which the above quote is taken) before as it only came to my attention when I featured another of his songs namechecking Townes Van Zandt
And finally the First Lady of Country herself Virginia Patterson Hensley.from 1961 two years before her untimely death in a plane crash at the age of 30.
The Guthries -Patsy Cline
Josh Ritter - Golden Age of Radio
Patsy Cline - She's Got You
That Patsy Cline song you've posted is, quite simply, fantastic. Well done!
ReplyDeleteby the way, I seem to be able to play tunes easily now on this new google-thing you're using.
ReplyDeleteGood to know.I'm going to stick with it for a wee while
DeleteAs George says, that Patsy track is absolutely brilliant.
ReplyDeleteJosh was my first thought this week.
ReplyDeleteAnd then... another Amy Rigby song (one of my favourites, too): The Summer of My Wasted Youth.
Sadly not I'm Just A Patsy by the Manics though... although it is a great song, it's more Lee Harvey Oswald than Patsy Cline.
