Does the world really need another
Patsy Cline collection? It's a reasonable question, given how many are out there and how many feature the same material, and
Gold in particular pushes the boundaries of the question, since the same two-disc set was previously released in 2000 with a different cover under the title
The Ultimate Collection. Fortunately,
Universal at least had the good sense to recycle one of their best
Patsy Cline compilations;
Gold's 32 tracks make for a broader view of
Cline's career than the longtime favorite
12 Greatest Hits, but avoids the clutter of their four-disc box set, and the sequence gives this material a welcome sense of stylistic ebb and flow. (The new cover is also a lot more flattering than the slapdash artwork for
The Ultimate Collection.) Most folks who already have a solid
Patsy Cline collection aren't going to need this, but for those looking for a solid collection of great music from one of the finest vocalists of her generation,
Gold is all the
Patsy Cline most fans will ever need. ~ Mark Deming
