Hit: 5 Stars
Dreamin' My Dreams continues Patty Loveless's pattern of bluegrass tinged traditional country, mixing mournful ballads with up-tempo toe-tappers. Her choice of songs and songwriters may be the most outstanding and unusual of her long and storied career. Its the way she proudly displays her influences, beginning with the Mountain Soul record, that has done so much to improve her consistency and establish her as the uncompromising queen of traditional country.
I feel the pain in her voice, and the harmonies and instrumentalists compliment it so well, on "On the Verge of Tears," "Nobody Here By That Name," and "My Old Friend The Blues." There is always a balance of heartbreak and joy on Patty's records. They're not all tearful ballads. "Big Chance" is a comic, fast tempo bluegrassy tune, and "Keep Your Distance" kicks off the album with a bang, a signal is any listener unaware that they'll hear only authentic old-fashioned country here. The Delbert McClinton penned "Same Kind of Crazy" is a fun, honky tonkish number that seems autobiographical for the Patty/Emory team. This is an eclectic collection, beautifully and skillfully blended.
In contrast to the criticisms of a few, these kinds of traditional mountain songs are what's missing from Patty's earlier albums. Her voice has always been fantastic, but her material balanced art and tradition with the need for airplay. There is no attempt on this record to sell out for radio play; this music is only the real deal. This may be too personal, but I have a feeling all of Patty's fans feel this way. Patty's music speaks to me like no other artist. It did the first time I heard her 15 or so years ago, and that connection is stronger today than ever.
Dreamin' My Dreams Poster
Never before has Patty Loveless mediated so gracefully between bluegrass tradition and superior songcraft from a wide range of sources. Fiddles and mandolins abound throughout Dreaming My Dreams' largely acoustic arrangements, but they are put to the service of material that extends from a propulsive, album-opening rendition of Richard Thompson's "Keep Your Distance" to the rollicking honky-tonk of Delbert McClinton's "Same Kind of Crazy" to the title-song reverie, a signature tune for the late Waylon Jennings. Loveless teams with Dwight Yoakam for a revival duet of the Delaney & Bonnie hit "Never Ending Song of Love," while Emmylou Harris adds soulful harmonies to "When Being Who You Are Is Not Enough." A mood of meditative melancholy pervades much of the music, as exemplified by the intimacy Loveless brings to Steve Earle's "My Old Friend the Blues." The selection of stellar material showcases and broadens Loveless's range as an interpretive stylist, one of the finest in contemporary country. --Don McLeeseCountry Music CDs
