Yes! Finally!! Patty Loveless is getting set to release a new CD - I’m so excited about this I can’t even tell you!
Even though it’s “only” a covers album, this 19th release from Patty (and the first in three years) promises to be as good as any of her other work. It’s titled “Sleepless Nights” and will hit stores September 9.
Husband Emory Gordy Jr. helped produce it and the release marks Patty’s first release with an indie label (one-month-old Saguaro Road Records) after twelve years at Epic Records.
The album will feature 14 classic country hits that they pulled from a pool of nearly 500, and will include:
1. Why Baby Why
2. The Pain of Loving You
3. He Thinks I Still Care
3. Sleepless Nights
4. Crazy Arms
6. There Stands the Glass
7. That’s All It Took
8. Color of the Blues
9. I Forgot More Than You’ll Ever Know
10. Next In Line
11 Don’t Let Me Cross Over
12. Please Help Me I’m Falling
13. There Goes My Everything
14. Cold Cold Heart
About the album, Patty says, “Emory and I were talking over dinner about recapturing some of these moments from my youth because I want to inspire and remind people of what country is made of. It takes me back especially to my brother, Roger, and my sister, Dottie, and the music they loved. It’s a little bit of a history lesson, but I think once you hear the songs, the stories, you’re going to be drawn to it. People lived a little differently then, but at the same time, there’s a lot more in common (with today) than people would think.”
I’m also very stoked for this release. Patty’s my favorite female singer of all time. I’m so glad she became part of an indie label. Probably will the best cover album I own.
Hi CF! I agree - I think it’ll be the best cover I’ll own as well!
I’m so excited that I found out a new album was coming. Patty has been my favorite artist since 1988. That means I was 10 when I first heard her on the radio and fell in love with her voice and music. I’m still a huge fan. I just wish she came to Canada more often for tours…. I hope she gets a comeback with this. I miss hearing her on radio and CMT playing her videos.
