PATTY LOVELESS KICKS OFF TOUR IN SUPPORT OF NEW ALBUM, MOUNTAIN SOUL II
Grammy Winning Singer Helps Raise Awareness of Christian Appalachian Project
Nashville, Tenn. (September 17, 2009) With just a few weeks to go before the release of the highly anticipated Mountain Soul II record, Patty Loveless is hitting the road for her first in a series of concerts around the country. The tour will begin tonight in St. Louis at the Sheldon Concert Hall and will continue through the fall and winter. Patty and band will be playing tracks from the new record as well as some favorites from years past.
Mountain Soul II (in stores September 29) is the follow up to the original Mountain Soul, which was named a Top Ten record of 2001 by both USA Today and Entertainment Weekly.
As part of the record launch, Patty is taking the opportunity to support the Christian Appalachian Project. By logging on to www.christianap... users can make a donation to the organization and will receive a free download of Working on a Building from Mountain Soul II. All donations will help bring real change to the lives of the men, women and children of Appalachia living in poverty. Patty is pleased to be able to give back to the people of the Appalachia, and as a tax-deductable gift, the funds will help provide meals to children suffering from hunger, shelter to seniors living in unimaginable conditions, and so much more. The issues facing families in Appalachia was brought to the forefront in a featured special report by Diane Sawyer on 20/20 called A Hidden America, in February of 2009.
Growing up in Pikeville, Kentucky, the music of the Appalachians has always been near and dear to Patty. Nearly nine years ago Mountain Soul introduced Patty to an even larger fan base, attracting listeners in the Bluegrass and Americana genres while also proving to be a favorite amongst her long-time fans. Like its predecessor, the new album will feature Pattys crystalline country vocals amid bluegrass-tinged instrumentation.
This will be the second record Patty has done with Saguaro Road Records, following 2008s Sleepless Nights, which was nominated for a Grammy.
The repertoire on Mountain Soul II ranges from the traditional gospel tunes Working on a Building and Friends in Gloryland to contemporary compositions such as Jon Randalls gorgeous ballad You Burned the Bridge and Barbara Keiths soaring folk ode Bramble and the Rose. The daughter of a Kentucky coal miner, Patty restores the original mining lyrics to Harlan Howards 1962 classic Busted. On the Emmylou Harris song Diamond in My Crown, Pattys vocal is accompanied by a harmony part from its originator. The lovely melody of Fools Thin Air, penned by Susanna Clark and Rodney Crowell, is drenched in bluegrass harmony. The throbbing Prisoners Tears is backed by a sighing steel guitar.
To date, Patty has issued eight Gold Record albums, four of which have gone on to Platinum status. She is noted for such chart-topping hits as Timber Im Falling in Love, Chains, Blame it on Your Heart, You Can Feel Bad and Lonely Too Long, as well as such enduring fan favorites as I Try to Think About Elvis, How Can I Help You Say Goodbye, Im That Kind of Girl and You Dont Even Know Who I Am. Look for Patty in the November issue of People Country, on stands November 13. To learn more go to www.PattyLoveless.com

Anyone who doesn’t like Patty Lovless doesn’t like country music. This girl IS country music!
Lovely lady lovely song
There will never be another voice 🎶 in country music 🎶 like Patty's Johnny from Alabama 😭🎶
Arguably, one of the most underrated female country singers.
Absolutely chilling with beauty of lyrics, melody, and voice! Not only is this real country, but it's a rebuke to the disgraceful junk paraded as country music on country radio. Let all new "country" artists take note that THIS IS country music.
cant stop listening to you patty. cant understand that this woman was not the most successful of all country music singers "ever". I never heard anything like her voice. I just cant stop listening to her. no wonder vince gill allways wanted to duet with her. george jones knew she was the best as well. I would love if she played ireland. god bless you patty. Margaret-ireland.
My kind of singing love it
I love her!! She is what true country music sounds like. She sings with such emotion, you can feel the song. Great artist!!
WOW! What a beautiful voice. I could listen to this kind of music all day and it doesn't get old. Great!!!!!

OMG!!! What gorgeous and real country gal!! Huge soul in all her renditions. Insuperable.
Patty gives me goose bumps!!!!!!!!
Patty Loveless IS country music. If I could duet with any female country singer, she would be my first choice hands down.
I love this !
I would give a million bucks to sing with Patty problem I'm just a bathroom singer and I haven got a mill I'm 74 just love country if u need a singing friend I'm here Patty in my mind I think I'm ok no harm in dreaming just think Vince is Fab also God bless 🙏😇
That ladies and gents is how it's supposed to sound! Period!
Mountain music is what this is... beautiful no matter how one describes it... only a very few can capture it... Patty, Emmylou, Dolly, Loretta... beautiful beyond words... listen to Songcatcher...
Loveless is awesome! she's got that Kentucky hill sound--and has elevated and refined it--awesome. Makes me long for the mountains in Kentucky and home.
so exceptional it's almost scary how good she is !!!!
what a great voice love her singing
Just to realize that Patty had this song on her first album in 1986, and then to re-record it again in 2009 nailing it spot on with her amazing voice! The simple instrumentation makes it a perfect fit for Mountain Soul II.
Love your sound Cuz, hope your doing well. Miss ya
i'm always in love with her and her music ....
sings a song like no other but her songs touch my heart cause i have lived this life her voice sooths the soul
When are they going to put Patty in the Country Music Hall of Fame? What'r they waiting fer?
Patty is just fantastic,
This is a well produced, well mixed tune. The 'side men' are true professionals and the talent shows through. Yes, it is a classic 'ol country' tune with that nasal character but it doesn't ride on glitz or 'hat tricks'. It's honest and true to its character. Thanks for the upload.
Best female singer ever!
Beautiful singer and wonderful song she is the real deal.
she literally takes my breath away. I realize at the end I haven’t taken a breath. True true music - so beautifully done.
what amazing voice i always love patty
now kids, this is how it's done, and should sound something like this beautiful woman. beautiful, and in spirit also. thanks for sharing great great music my new friend even though google doesn't want us to be friends anymore, just subs... COA ...
This has that real old time phrasing like Hazel Dickens made famous. Beautiful.
Can it get ANY BETTER????????
Patty how I love you. I've listened, been faithful since the beginning.
Great performance!!
This is 'real' country music..what else is there to say.
that's real country music. she has the best voice in country music. come to Ireland patty and bring vince gill with you. Margaret-Ireland
They sure dont make em like this anymore. My gosh watch her and Vince Gill at Georges Jones funeral what good friends they all are.
l sure wish she and Vince Hill would record and album together. Their voices are like silk and saying combined.
l hate auto correct. l said Patty and Vince Gill's singing are like silk and satin combined. They harmonize like only family members do! 💓
Simply the best.
Friends..THIS is how it's done!
Love to hear Patty Loveless sing!!
Deborah Tanksley

The story of my life... This just hit home HARD

good lookin pair of boots
oh ya good job on the song to
i love this ! she sings so goood
i'm loving it
AWESOME !!!!
there's only a few: there's Dolly it's true - but mainly lately it's Ronstadt & you. there's the Whites & the Forbes & the Stanleys too - but mainly lately it's Ronstadt & you.
She did this song on her first MCA album back in 1986. I like this version better.
KT4786 You got that right

The last of a dying breed I'm afraid. Don't get me wrong, Carrie Underwood and her generation are talented, but a Barbie doll singing a pop song with a fiddle thrown on top is not country music.
