Patsy Cline (1932-1963) was an American country and traditional pop singer. And that's pretty much all I know about her.

12 Greatest Hits

This collection was originally released in 1967 as "Patsy Cline's Greatest Hits". What I have is a 1988 reissue, which was renamed and has different cover art, but the same track listing.

1. "Walkin' After Midnight": This is probably the main reason I bought the album. And that's largely because I enjoyed the usage of this song (or maybe a cover?) in a commercial. It's a sad song about lost love, but it's somehow kind of fun to listen to. And it's more genuinely country than I remembered.

2. "Sweet Dreams (Of You)": I don't remember this song, but it's not bad. It's another sad song about not being able to move on after a relationship ends.

3. "Crazy": Yet another sad song. I find it fairly memorable.

4. "I Fall to Pieces": Another memorable song, apparently about being friend-zoned by a former love. It's a good song, but after four songs, I'm starting to wonder if this woman can ever keep a man. I feel bad for her.

5. "So Wrong": This is the second song on the album that I didn't remember. Once again it's kind of sad, but this time at least a bit hopeful. Like, it was her idea to end a relationship, but now she's changed her mind.

6. "Strange": I mainly remember this song for being sampled in the song She Came Along by Sharam featuring Kid Cudi. It's pretty decent.

7. "Back in Baby's Arms": This one's actually happy, for a change. And maybe a bit more familiar than I expected.

8. "She's Got You": A sad song about jealousy over a former love's new love. Another one of the songs I find most memorable.

9. "Faded Love": I can't quite tell if this is familiar to me or not. But anyway, it's another sad song.

10. "Why Can't He Be You": This is one sad song where I don't feel particularly bad for her. She's in a relationship with a good man, but wishes he were someone else. Like, if you don't love the guy, stop wasting his time, okay?

11. "You're Stronger Than Me": Yet another song about being sad about a breakup, when apparently her former love is happy and moving on.

12. "Leavin' on Your Mind": And finally, a sad song about thinking her current love is (maybe?) in love with someone else.

Well, all the songs on the album are decent, and I like some more than others. I think my favorite remains "Walkin' After Midnight". But there aren't any songs on the album that I really love. I still think it's a good album to have.
