Book Review: From a drug store to the Opry, and all stops in between
Summary: 5 Stars
Nassour manages to show the struggle Patsy Cline went through to make it to the top, from her high school days in Winchester VA to her too early death at 30 in a crashed airplane in Tennessee. Lovers of good music who can sing every note of every Cline song, and mimic each break in that unique voice, will learn she grew up collecting Kay Starr records, worked her way around the VA-WV-MD fraternal club circuit, wasn't always popular in her home town and cut a wide path for female country singers to follow. She was a country singer when country was country. But she was also the first to use strings and when Owen Bradley added Floyd Cramer's piano to those famous recording sessions, the real Patsy Cline sound matured in the style still heard around the world today. Well documented, good photos, immensely readable.
