Free Music Review: The Queen of Country, Beautiful and Genuine Music
Hit: 5 Stars
While Mountain Soul is undeniably my favorite of Patty's albums, this one is the most brilliant and satisfying mixture of traditional country and accessibility. All of her prior albums contain songs seemingly included to garner airplay to draw unfamiliar fans into her music, and they weren't always representative. "I Think About Elvis" comes to mind. None of that is present on On Your Way Home. On this one, Patty and husband/producer Emory have undoubtedly hit the perfect formula for her style and voice. To echo other reviewers, this is a "home run," and country music "can't possibly get better than this."
If you're unfamiliar with her work, "Lovin' All Night" and "Draggin' My Heart Around" will be immediately appealing. "I Wanna Believe" is uptempo fun in the same vein. No where has Patty been more emotive or plaintive than on the title track (my favorite). "Born Again Fool" would have fit on Mountain Soul perfectly. "The Grandpa I Knew" is reminicient of the earlier "Where I'm Bound" and "She Never Stopped Loving Him" or even her performance with Vince Gill, "Go Rest High on that Mountain." No contemporary artist conveys melancholy like Patty. Maybe it's her eastern Kentucky roots.
This is the perfect vehicle for her emotional resonance. It is inspired and inimitable; no other country diva expresses the range of emotions that Patty does. I admit to bias; I've been a huge fan for about 15 years, but her music just keeps getting better.
On Your Way Home Poster
Patty Loveless has spent her career choosing between country pop and hardcore country, and she's produced masterpieces in both styles (Long Stretch of Lonesome and Mountain Soul, respectively). But now it seems she's sick of having to choose at all. On Your Way Home is built equally around the boot-scooting rhythms of contemporary country and the phrasing, melodies, and instrumentation of honky-tonk and bluegrass. For instance, "I Don't Want to Be that Strong" begins, hushed, in a manner as perfect for a front-porch performance by fiddle and guitar, then skyrockets into right-now power ballad territory even as an old-school pedal-steel guitar keeps wanging away. She cries here at a grandfather's funeral; gets so horny, on the Rodney Crowell-penned first single, that she calls in sick; goes carousing on Buddy and Julie Miller's "Lookin' for a Heartache Like You"; and on the title track, confronts a husband about where he stops on his way home from work. Loveless' every strangled, knotty note is classic in content and contemporary in execution. And vice versa, too. --David CantwellCountry Music CDs
