Has any artist's sparse catalog been plundered more shamelessly with endless repackagings than the late Patsy Cline? She deserves to have something new released on her to showcase her rare talent. And now there is: "The Divine Ms. Cline." Make no mistake. This is not just some "best of" collection. Instead, it contains 26 NEW, PREVIOUSLY UNRELEASED TRACKS featuring the great Patsy! Billboard magazine calls this CD “stunning” and “a gem.” To commemorate the 50th year since her passing, 20 of her best-loved studio tracks have been overdubbed with new music to give them a fresh appeal. While Cline's voice was timeless, the original accompaniment sounds very outdated, in the context of today's musical preferences. So her masters have been stripped down to the bare essentials, her vocals given 24-bit digital remastering for better clarity, then tasteful new music has been added to complement her great talent. Some of the finest musicians, background singers and orchestrators working today — in studios from Nashville to Europe — have applied their talents with the greatest respect for Patsy's musical legacy, to create these new recordings. You won't believe your ears! It sounds as if she is in the room singing just for you. Patsy Cline has also been brought more into the solo spotlight by giving her a voice a vocal boost and getting rid of some of Owen Bradley's original backing that overwhelmed her singing at times!

This CD also includes a 6-song Patsy UNRELEASED “in concert” bonus! Hear Patsy introduce and laugh with the band.

“The Divine Ms. Cline” is one of the finest CDs you'll ever own. The new music runs the gamut and includes lush strings and pretty guitars (“Why Can't He Be You?”); dobro, twin fiddles and steel guitar featuring musicians from today's Grand Ole Opry band (“San Antonio Rose”); a 19-piece orchestra backing Patsy — with a large string section, oboe, French horn, flute, harp, etc. (“Wayward Winds”, “True Love”); lively Spanish guitar, strings and twin trumpets , (“South of the Border”); and a bluesy, 5-piece brass section backing Ms. Cline during a delightful jazz-inspired romp (“Seven Lonely Days”). There's a soulful sax treatment as Patsy sings the blues (“So Wrong”); a smooth trombone and new choral backing on “Heartaches” (done at a slower tempo than the original); plus strings and a New Orleans jazz soprano sax on “Just A Closer Walk With Thee.” Hear “You Belong To Me” done country style.

Also enjoy Patsy singing a song she never recorded for Decca, “Tennessee Waltz,” which she does in a surprisingly intimate, crooning style with strings and a 5-piece trombone section! You'll love Patsy's alternate, studio vocal on “Leavin' On Your Mind,” in a plush orchestral arrangement spiced with country guitar.

Included is a 16-page, fascinating booklet on Patsy Cline written by Larry Jordan, author of the 672-page award-winning book, “Jim Reeves: His Untold Story,” (who also has made a name for himself as the VoiceMasters producer of a series of overdub CDs — including this one — that have taken classic artists back to the top of radio playlists around the world — an amazing fete).
