'''''Patsy Cline''''' is a studio album by American [[country music]] singer, [[Patsy Cline]], released on August 5, 1957. This was the debut album by Cline and would be one of three [[studio album]]s Cline would record during her lifetime.

However, Cline could not follow-up the success of "Walkin' After Midnight" and the second single from the album, "I Don't Wanta" failed to chart. Cline would not have another major hit or studio album until 1961. Her flip side of "Walkin' After Midnight", "A Poor Man's Roses" was not featured on the album.

Although Cline recorded for the [[Four Star Records|Four Star]] label, the album was not released on Four Star. Instead, the album was released on [[Decca Records]], the future recording company of Cline from late 1960 to her death in 1963, where she would issue two studio albums. This album was later digitally [[remaster]]ed for a release as a [[CD]] on [[MCA Records]] (which took over Decca in 1973) in 1988, using the original album cover.

Recording for Cline's debut album began as early as January 1956 and ended as late as May 23, 1957. Because the album was released on Decca, the album was produced by [[Owen Bradley]], who would later produce all of Cline's sessions between 1960 and 1963. Background vocals were done by the popular Nashville background vocal group, [[Anita Kerr|The Anita Kerr Singers]], who also backed a number of popular Country music artists in the 50s and 60s.

Cline recorded a total of 12 songs for the album. The tracks were a mix of [[Honky Tonk]], [[Rockabilly]], and [[Country pop]]. Many music critics have called songs from this album very different from any of the other material she would record for her albums later. One of the songs recorded for the album, "Don't Ever Leave Me Again", was co-written by Patsy Cline with James Crawford and Lillian Claiborne. She signed it, however, in her real name, Virginia Hensley, in the songwriting credits.

Patsy Cline is a studio album by American country music singer, Patsy Cline, released on August 5, 1957. This was the debut album by Cline and would be one of three studio albums Cline would record during her lifetime.

Background

[edit]

Cline's debut album produced two singles. Her first single "Walkin' After Midnight," was released in 1957 and became both a Top 20 pop smash and a classic.[2] However, she could not follow up the success of "Walkin' After Midnight"; and the second single from the album, "I Don't Wanta," failed to chart. Cline would not have another major hit or studio album until 1961. Her flip side of "Walkin' After Midnight," "A Poor Man's Roses," was not featured on the album.

Although Cline recorded for the Four Star label, the album was released on Decca Records, the future recording company of Cline from late 1960 to her death in 1963, where she would issue two studio albums. The album was later digitally remastered for a release as a [CD/LP/Cassette] on MCA Records (which took over Decca in 1973) in 1988, using the original album cover.

Recording

[edit]

Recording began as early as January 1956 and ended as late as May 23, 1957. Because the album was released on Decca, it was produced by Owen Bradley, who would later produce all of Cline's sessions between 1960 and 1963. Background vocals were done by the Nashville background vocal group, The Anita Kerr Singers, who also backed a number of popular country music artists in the 1950s and 60s.

Individual tracks

[edit]

Cline recorded 12 songs for the album, a mix of honky tonk, rockabilly, and country pop. Many music critics have called the tracks very different from the other material she recorded for her later albums. One of the songs, "Don't Ever Leave Me Again," was co-written by Cline with James Crawford and Lillian Claiborne. Cline used her real name, Virginia Hensley, in the songwriting credits.
