About this title: Earthy, sexy, and vivacious, the life of beloved country singer, Patsy Cline, who soared from obscurity to international fame to tragic death in just thirty short years, is explored in colorful and poignant detail. An innovator - and even a hell-raiser - Cline broke all the boys' club barriers of Nashville's music business in the 1950s and brought a new Nashville sound to the nation with her pop hits and torch ballads like "Walking After Midnight," "I Fall to Pieces" and "Crazy." She is the subject of a major Hollywood movie and countless articles, and her albums are still selling 45 years ...

"I bought this book for my wife as a christmas gift along with Sweet Dreams and she read both within days, a great insight into what life can bring and the success she enjoyed and what came with it, a great read and recommend for anyone with an interest in music and people."
"This is what a biography should be - the story of a spitfire, full of conversations that probably never happened, and conjecture that contradicts itself. It's a little eerie how her songs mimicked her life and her life mimicked her songs."
"Had no idea that "Walkin' After Midnight" was originally supposed to be a Kay Starr song, or that, with almost no exception, Patsy just about hated every song of hers that went on to become a big hit. Sometimes even after they actually started earning her money. Glad that this wasn't a scholarly as it appeared to be, and was still full of a healthy amount of drinkin', singin', lovin', losin', and all other forms of honky tonkery. Also, Patsy gets even cooler when you find out that she often referred to herself in the third person and called just about everyone on earth "hoss.""
"I read this on a plane ride from Nashville to Hartford and didn't realize when we took off or when we landed. Highly informative, it tells the story of Patsy Cline's life and death and clears up some misperceptions about the movies that attempt to portray her life."
