Clien had the ebenfit of Hashville's best songwriters, its best producer and the top session musicians. So, yeah, it's very much pre-fab, processed and refined. Having said that, some of her hits are really terrific songs as songs.<BR/><BR/>Wanda is much more pure in the sense of just being 100% herself -- a hellraiser of an artist and performer.<BR/><BR/>As for KD? Gee, I could tell some stories... just leave it at her whole early career 're-incarnation of Patsy Cline' shtick was nothing more than an attention getting device which, I guess, worked out for her. <BR/><BR/>I still ain't a-picking one over the other between Wanda and Patsy. I see the merits of both.Frank Frinkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05727863730658037306noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6708375.post-24674544091472464232009-04-12T21:47:00.000-04:002009-04-12T21:47:00.000-04:00Patsy is .. umm. adequate.Are you a KD Lang fan, L...Patsy is .. umm. adequate.<BR/>Are you a KD Lang fan, Lulu?Sheenahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11343974714241810943noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6708375.post-79457593865835942882009-04-12T21:46:00.000-04:002009-04-12T21:46:00.000-04:00I saw Wanda live and in person at the Cadillac Lou...I saw Wanda live and in person at the Cadillac Lounge in TO a couple of years ago.

Wanda was pure, unfiltered rockabilly, Patsy was country-pop filtered and processed through the production skills of the amazing Owen Bradley. <BR/><BR/>Though back in day when I used to play upright bass in [unnamed, because it could potentially out me] highly-respected Canadian 'rockabilly' artist's band we used to cover both singer's material which including a very powerful and emotional version of 'Leaving On Your Mind' as well as a raucous 'Hard Headed Woman'.<BR/><BR/>I have a healthy respect for the talents of both women. So, I ain't a-pickin' one over the other.Frank Frinkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05727863730658037306noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6708375.post-14464561847105188942009-04-12T16:05:00.000-04:002009-04-12T16:05:00.000-04:00My, my ... someone's feeling 10-feet tall and bull...My, my ... someone's feeling 10-feet tall and bulletproof from 6 hours away. ;-)LuLuhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03412312541969320536noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6708375.post-13527436823698110072009-04-12T15:55:00.000-04:002009-04-12T15:55:00.000-04:00Don't you worry your purty l'il head there LuLu.
