- An Essential For Hardcore Fans
Patsy Cline's presence looms so large in 20th Century American popular music that it is tempting to believe she was a great star during her lifetime. That, however, is not really true. Cline spent most of the 1950s playing honky tonks, doing the occasional radio or television appearance, and making records that usually didn't sell. It was not until 1960 that Cline began to reach a national audience--but even then Cline's hits were not as many or as big as you might think. Then as now, music fans tended toward very specific niches, and Cline didn't fit easily within any of them, a fact that often made her a very hard sell. Even the famous "Sweet Dreams" couldn't ride the notoriety of her untimely death in a 1963 airplane crash to the top spot on the country charts, much less the pop charts.
But for all of this, Cline had a devoted fan base--and more importantly a tremendous influence on the country and pop singers that came after her. Over time, that influence would grow to a legendary status, and by the close of the 20th century she would be considered one of the greatest vocalists of her era. She would also be one of the best-selling as well.
THE PATSY CLINE COLLECTION offers all of Cline's most famous recordings and then some. This box set, which comes with a very handsome booklet detailing Cline's life and career, consists of four CDs: "Honky Tonk Merry Go Around," which includes early examples of Cline's original juke-joint style; "Moving Along," which shows her transitioning into her classic style; and "Heartaches" and "Sweet Dreams," which presents her in full "cross-over" mode, blending numerous popular musical idioms into a seamless whole.
The quality of the recordings vary. Many are 1950s radio transcripts, with all the audio limitations such implies; the later recordings, of course, are state of the art c. 1960. But whether its the earliest cut (a radio transcript of "Walking the Dog") or the last (a live recording of "Just A Closer Walk with Thee"), every recording is distinctly Patsy Cline. There is absolutely no mistaking that incredible voice, and it transcends whatever limitations may be involved.
The collection offers well over four hours of Pasty Cline recordings, and quite frankly if your interest in Cline is limited to the high style of her late 1950s and early 1960s work you would really do better to purchase a less expensive compilation. There are many such releases that include only the essentials. But if you're a die-hard fan--and I'm certainly one of them!--this is a must-have set. It is a pricey purchase, to be sure, but once the investment is made you will never need purchase another. And I can honestly say that I don't regret a penny spent.

- This Rocks!
You don't have to be a country fan or over 50 to love Patsy Cline. I'm 25 and I loathe the stuff, but Patsy has the voice of an angel and emotes perfectly in every song. This box set is essential and has something for just about every mood. Check out her cover of "Stupid Cupid." It's adorable! Trust me, take a few listens, and before you know it, you'll be humming her songs all day and thinking about what a tragedy it is that she died too soon before her time.

- More Patsy Cline than you'll ever need
When most people think of Patsy Cline, what comes to mind are the sweet ballads like "I Fall to Pieces" and "Crazy". Patsy had an incredible voice that made those songs come alive. What may surprise you in this collection is how well she handles the up-tempo songs. Patsy could belt out a great honky tonk tune as well as any woman of her day. This box set showcases both sides of her music very well.
If this set has any fault, it might be that it's a bit too complete. There are 104 songs here, about everything she ever recorded. There are a couple of repeated songs (including 3 versions of "A Poor Man's Roses"). There are also some radio transcriptions and a couple of other live songs. The problem is, not everything is high quality. The practice of the day was to include a number of 'standards' as filler in most country albums. So, you get Patsy doing songs others had already done well, like "It Wasn't God Who Made Honky Tonk Angels", and "Loose Talk". some of them don't really fit her style, such as "San Antonio Rose". Some of the others are just weaker songs generally. If she had lived longer, these probably wouldn't have ended up in this set. Fortunately, Patsy's incredible voice can often make up for this problem, so the weaker songs don't stand out as much as they otherwise might.
The set is very well put together, with a nice illustrated booklet. The biggest focus of the bio is on the different production methods they used to try to sell Patsy's music. This provides a fascinating insight into the inner workings of a Nashville studio.

- Should be required listening for all current country stars....
I love old country music, because it's so real and authentic compared to modern country music (I feel the same way about other avenues of art as well, like films and rock music). Today's country's performers sound so watered down and fake, either shouting out right wing propaganda (Toby Keith, Charlie Daniels), or crooning crappy, insulting "greeting card" lyrics (just about everyone else). Then you listen to Patsy's voice, and it's so real, haunting, and SINCERE that you don't want to say anything while she's singing. Bob Dylan had said that about Hank Williams's voice too, and I adore Hank as well. Both Patsy and Hank really lived what they sang. You can hear the truth in every song they ever did. I bought this collection a long time ago, and didn't play it for the longest time. I recently rediscovered it, and it was like seeing an old flame that you realised you had wronged, and are now hoping to make up with her or him. This is great music. Listen to it over and over again...

- Absolutely wonderful.
What else is there to say about this collection? I can't listen enough to it. There isn't a single cut in the package that I'd delete. This is Patsy in all her glory. One of the best music purchases I've ever made. The quality is outstanding. I especially enjoy hearing Patsy speak to the audience on a few of the "live" recordings. I also like hearing how her style evolved and matured over her much too short career. Thank you, MCA.
