Of all the millions of records that Patsy made during her tragically few thirty years, this is one of only three to be published during her lifetime. I'd have to say that it is my favorite as well. South of the Border is such a wonderful song. I sometimes pull this CD out of my shelf, just to listen to South of the Border. I submitted this song on tape with the sheet music to my high school's Latino Band, that plays spanish songs. If you could have only one Patsy Cline album, I'd chose this one. Buy it at once.
I have been listening to this album since I was a kid, and Patsy was still alive. My aunt had a vinyl copy that she loved, and my cousins and I would play it as loud as we could while we cleaned house and did dishes.
These versions are her best recordings of these songs, because you will find other versions on other albums. The backups by the Jordanaires (they backed up Elvis several times, too) keep this so smooth...
I have bought this album in every new format over the years; my own vinyl, then eight track (REALLY!), casette, at least two CD copies and soon in MP3.
If you want Patsy, this is the place to start.
My brother lives in a rest home and loves music. He loudly plays all Patsy music. This was one of his favorite albums. Great gift, on time, with great selections
