The Ultimate Collection
60年代美国乡村歌曲红歌星,可惜在30岁时就因为飞机失事去世,不然在乐坛的影响力难以限量,即使这样,她仍然被认为是最优秀的乡村女歌手之一。这张2000年发行的双CD纪念精选总结了她的音乐生涯. 这张专辑在滚石杂志选出的500张历代最强专辑中排名第234位。 UTV's 2000 release The Ultimate Collection spans two discs and 32 songs, considerably more than the 12 Greatest Hits that previously stood as the best, most concise overview of her career, yet more manageable than the 1991 box set, The Patsy Cline Collection, whose four discs do not lend themselves to an easy introduction. This two-disc set, however, does work as both a concise summary and good introduction, naturally containing all the classic hits, but digging deep enough into other areas — smaller hits, album tracks, and earlier sessions — to demonstrate the range and depth of her music. Serious fans will still want the box, and 12 Greatest Hits remains as perfect as greatest-hits albums get, but anybody who wants a more thorough selection of Patsy Cline's best should turn here.
