Can any of today's love songs equal Patsy Cline's "Crazy" and "Walking after midnight"

Question

in how prefectly they describe how it actually feels to fall in love?

And then who could match "I fall to pieces" ? (Maybe Billie Holiday.)

Actually I am listening to a CD with both Patsy and Willie on it with Willie singing Crazy. They both could sing each other's songs along with Hank Williams songs of course.

Many younger country singers are great but they can't beat Willie and Patsy IMHO ;)

On what album is Netty Moore? My favorite Dylan song is Visions of Johana from Blond on Blond but that song is more like a dream than a love song.

I think the late Nick Drake and Natalie Merchant are also amazing if we want to stray from country music, and Gilliam Welsh has made some great songs which are close to original mountain songs.

The lines of division between country and soft rock or oldies don't mean much to me.

I can't believe how beautifully Willie sings: Ain't it funny how time slips away!!!

Answer 1

I love Patsy Cline's "I Fall to Pieces," but have you heard Dylan's "Netty Moore?" Listen to the heartbeat in the rhythm, and the tenderness in his voice when he sings, "I miss you Netty Moore, And my happiness is o'er," and "The world has gone black before my eyes." What a song! You will melt.

Answer 2

That "Crazy" is Willie Nelsons. Patsy also recorded several of Hank Williams Sr. songs

Answer 3

"Crazy" is actually Willie Nelson's song. But, you're right. Patsy Cline is/was amazing.

Answer 4

NO, Nay, nada, noway. Patsy had a style all her own.

Answer 5

i agree but there are some really good songs that arent country now too!!!

Answer 6
