Title: A well meaning effort that just doesn't work
Product review: On paper, having top notch female vocalists of today (and some simply popular and not-so-top-notch vocalists) bring some Patsy Cline hits up to date is a fun idea. In practice, this is a wildly uneven effort. Some of the arrangements are so bad that they are comical (I won't point out any names to protect the sincere, but guilty) and many of the vocal performances are surprisingly lackluster even from those with usually fabulous voices. This CD just doesn't work.There's another CD out there that tries to do the same with Dolly Parton hits, Just Because I'm a Woman, and that one is very successful. What's the difference? I think it's partly that the artists on that CD are better interpreters of other people's hit songs. On this CD, however, most of the interpretations lack sparkle and energy.
