Classic Album

Review Score:

(10/10)
Patty Loveless' Long Stretch of Lonesome is one of the best albums to come out of Nashville in a while. So many different emotions and feelings are represented in this fine collection of country music. It is a classic Patty Loveless album, and will forever stand the test of time.

The Party Ain't Over Yet is somewhat of a woman's anthem, where she proclaims how she can handle anything that is dished out to her. To Have You Back Again is a song about longing to be with that one that got away. I Don't Want To Feel Like That is an emotional ballad about never wanting to feel sad, or hurt. High On Love is a fun song about the many joys and emotions felt when falling in love. Like Water Into Wine is a very poignant, beautiful love song. That's Exactly What I Mean is a song where both involved in a relationship try to work things out. You Don't Seem To Miss Me is a song in reflection on feeling unloved by someone, George Jones lends vocals to this wonderful song. Too Many Memories is perhaps my favorite, a beautiful, yet sad song about growing old and all those memories you take with you. Long Stretch Of Lonesome is a very beautiful, poignant song that portrays the reality of loneliness, finding that sweet end of the tunnel. Where Im Bound is a song about sweet release, finding one's place in the world.

I believe this album is essential to have. Its perfect mood music, no matter which mood. Patty invites you into her heart and lets you hear tales of happinees, sadness and more. Perfect album to listen to when you feel down, she will lighten your spirits.
