Patty Quotes
I Just Want To Be Loved By You: When I first heard it I thought this has a really good feel to it, it makes me feel good. It makes me feel like getting there, out there on the rug. The thing that I find is hard is to find musically out there, is a song that is sorta like a, guess you would call it an up tempo love song. Those are very, very hard to write, they are very hard to find. And I love what it says, too, I mean I think with Emory's involvement in the song it made me feel kind of special.

I'm baaaaaaaack!!!!! After what has seemed like years of waiting, Classics is finally UNLEASHED upon the world, (all together now) or at least here in the US. As the sticker says on this funny little plastic case that holds this thing called a CD, 9 biggest hits, 3 new songs. Once I figure out how to get it to work in my 8-track player, I will give it a spin. A little note to the sales clerk who fell to the floor with laughter when I asked to buy this in 8 track, I hope you did not hurt yourself, but I do not think wanting this in 8-track warranted that kind of response. Also I must apologize for the red blots that appear next to the album rating. I have done nothing different, but for some reason my little dancing guys have become red blotches. I will work to correct this.

Since my partner in crime made the crack about how easy she has it, I am going to leave this little chat about the Classics album for her. That is, as soon as she also stops laughing at me since I made the mistake and told her about trying to put that stupid disk looking thing in my player. So, stay tuned her turn is coming up. This is for you Jessie, sing to the tune of I Just Wanna Be Loved By You. "Well, there's a lot of things we could do tonight, go out do the town, and see the sites. Because you and I got better things to do, you know it's true. I feel you have a story to be told, you got us and we won't let you go, we just wanna be mesmerized by you, Jessie just you, the moon is swaying, and the stars are fallin', Hey! Hey! Jessie can you hear us callin', so let's stay home and do the review, cause we just wanna be mesmerized by you.

Well, Here I Am....First off, I would like to thank Patty for the great honor she bestowed on my husband and I, by releasing "Classics" on our wedding anniversary....I knew she'd remember.

What better name for a Patty Loveless greatest hits album than Classics, I ask you. Every song on this album is filled with just that....classics. My personal favorite is here....Here I Am, in my mind, the most perfect song ever sung by anyone. It's only drawback is, that it is too short. I suppose I could go thru and review each song, but they are all songs that you know and love, so I will take a paragraph or 2 to talk about the new songs on the Classics CD. By the way, after my esteemed and astute partner realized that she could not get the CD into her 8-track, she finally took the plant out of the CD ROM of her computer and put the CD in there. She was astounded to find out that that little shelf was a music maker....She's learning so much associating with me.

We have all heard My Kind Of Woman/My Kind of Man, and I, for one am really looking forward to this summer when it is released as a single. Once again, Patty has hooked up with her old buddy Vince and created another classic( there's that word, again) country song. I have heard that it is in the style of the old Loretta Lynn/Conway Twitty duets of the 70's, but I think it is more in the style of Patty Loveless/Vince Gill. Those two sound sooo good together. The current single Can't Get Enough is making a steady climb up the charts. I wasn't sure how to take this song when I first heard it. We are so used to hearing Patty sing all those "hurtin songs", that when she sings a fun song like this, we are all kind of taken aback. But, it has very quickly become a favorite of mine, along with about 40 others of her songs. I Just Wanna Be Loved By You was written by Emory and a familiar name to Patty fans, Kostas. He has written so many wonderful songs for Patty (Blame It On Your Heart, for one) and other artists. It's another fun sexy song for our girl, and as my heartless partner, who is making me write this, instead of getting ready to go out for an anniversary dinner, has stated before, it's about time we have some fun songs from Patty. Don't get me wrong....please, I love all the hurtin, gut wrenching, heartache songs that she sings...that's what attracted me to her music. But, I do love to see that woman smile, and she smiles so much more when she sings happy fun songs. (isn't that strange).

All in all, the title of this CD is very appropriately named. Twenty years from now they will still be playing these songs...all of them, because they are uh...oh, what's that word???? Oh yeah, Classics.
