ALWAYS...PATSY CLINE (ORIGINAL CAST RECORDING) (MCA): Tributes and
imitators are usually best avoided (or at least not taken seriously), but if
you're a Patsy Cline fan, you absolutely have to hear this one. No lie: Mandy
Barnett is so good she BECOMES the late Patsy Cline. It sounds so good it'll
scare you. The fact that she has the cooperation of the Patsy Cline family and
estate, and that it was recorded at the legendary Ryman Auditorium, should
indicate that this is no slapdash effort. Try to take a listen before you buy
it, especially to "Sweet Dreams" and "Crazy," and see if it
doesn't floor you like it did me.(Dec. '95)
