Music reviews of Definitive Collection
Music Review: Definitive MCA hits collection
Rating: 5 Stars
I became a huge fan of her music following my purchase of her debut album, simply titled Patty Loveless (on the MCA label) soon after its release. It seems that I was one of a small number of such fans because the album did not sell in vast quantities. You get a fair idea of the quality of that album from the first four tracks here (Lonely days lonely nights, Wicked ways, I did, After all). Two of these songs are by Karen Staley, who has become a prolific country songwriter but never made it as a singer in her own right.
Patty's second album (If my heart had windows) maintained the quality of the first but didn't provide the big breakthrough. It is represented here by You saved me (an original song), the title track (one of the best covers of a George Jones song that I've heard) and A little bit in love (another outstanding cover, this time of a Steve Earle song).
Patty's career gathered momentum with her third album(Honky tonk angel), which yielded two country number one hits (Timber I'm falling in love, Chains) and three other country hits (Blue side of town, Don't toss us away, Lonely side of love). All five are included here. This was Patty's most successful album during her period with MCA. I guess it wasn't easy being on the same label as Reba McEntire and it got harder when Trisha Yearwood joined the label and achieved instant stardom.
Patty's fourth album (On down the line) did quite well but less so than its predecessor. It is represented here by Night's too long (written by Lucinda Williams), I'm that kind of girl, Blue memories and the title track.
Patty's fifth and last album for MCA is also represented by four tracks (Hurt me bad in a real good way, Jealous bone, Can't stop myself from loving you, Nobody loves you like I do). By the time of its release, MCA were much more interested in Trisha than Patty and may not have committed themselves wholeheartedly to marketing the album. With Reba selling more records than ever before, it was no surprise to anybody that Patty left MCA. I'm also a huge fan of Reba and Trisha so I can understand the difficulty that one label would have in keeping all three happy.
Following those twenty tracks taken from her five original MCA albums, there are two from her subsequent career with Epic. Those two tracks (You can feel bad, Lonely too long) both made number one on the country charts but their presence here isn't strictly necessary as they can be found on one of her original Epic albums (Trouble with the truth) as well as a compilation (Classics) that focuses on her Epic recordings, but they are welcome here anyway.
For Patty's committed fans, there can be no substitute for buying the original albums, but this is a magnificent collection of Patty's early music. Although Patty achieved greater commercial success with her Epic recordings, her MCA recordings were every bit as good.
