Two Links
I don't know why I have yet to link to John Salmon's Mystic Chords, or Julie at Sotto Sotto. Oops. They are both good reads, and it is always fun to find someone who is just discovering Patsy Cline (John, I am with you on Patsy. Some of the die-hard country fans I know say, "but she wasn't really doing country music" but so what? Perhaps she should be in the same class as Roger Miller, who was country, but also, not really country. Both were fantastic).
Read them both frequently.

You're right, a lot of people say that about Patsy. I'm not sure I understand why. Is it that a lot of people who don't ordinarily like country like her?
I find I enoy a lot of older country-like the George Jones stuff you've posted, Loretta Lynn, or even Tammy Wynette. Stand By Your Man is a blast! Sure it's camp, but who cares?
