Patsy Cline Album: “Live at the Cimarron Ballroom”

Patsy Cline was involved in a head on collision on June 14, 1961. She was almost killed and was at many points near death. She may have had a near brush with death, but that didn't stop Patsy. She had most of her tour dates canceled at that time. Except for Tulsa. Still healing and recovering, On July 29, 1961, Patsy made her 1st apperance since her near-fatal car wreck. While Patsy was in the hospital, her latest record, "I Fall To Pieces", reached number 1. With "I Fall To Pieces" a number 1 hit for Patsy, she preformed it twice that night.

The opening number is "Come On In". Patsy's traditional opening number. On into the preformance, Patsy tackles classic country songs, and even pop numbers as well. Such as "Shake, Rattle, and Roll", and "Stupid Cupid", which were both big pop hits.

Patsy gets personal towards the end of the preformance explaining her car accident. Overall, the CD is only for REAL Patsy Cline fans who want to go beyond the hits. You need to respect Patsy before you go out and buy this CD. It is for any country fan, with a little bit of Pop of the side.

It's a reason to dock a star from what would otherwise be a slam-dunk five-star disc. If you like Patsy, treat yourself. If don't like Patsy, you should.

I only wish more of Patsy Cline in concert would surface she really put her heart and soul into her singing.I love this CD so much I am on my second copy because the first one wore out

Many years ago, I read about someone finding this recording in a closet and eagerly awaited its release. While I never understood my mother's love of Patsy Cline, I knew that a good live recording can turn me into a fan of someone if initially I wasn't too interested in them. Thank you bootlegs. I listened to this CD and enjoyed every minute of it. It's a snapshot of a time I didn't live through. The music is great and I relish anything helps connect me the past.

this recording is a must if you want to hear Patsy Cline as she was over thirty years ago. An amazing find!! I always try to get anything new from her that is released because she is a gem.
