Product Description: As always, Patty Loveless connects with listeners, singing about their joys and sorrows. Sleepless Nights is her newly recorded homage to the classic country hits of the '50s, '60s, and '70s. She personally selected each song, country classics first made popular by George Jones, Hank Locklin, Porter Wagoner, Webb Pierce, Dolly Parton, Emmylou Harris and Conway Twitty. Born and bred country, Patty's pure crooning on these favorites is yearning and melancholy, enhanced only by sparse accompaniment. The new sessions feature several legendary band members: guitarist Harold Bradley, who played on the original hits of Patsy Cline and Roy Orbison; blind pianist Pig Robbins, an equally legendary session musician for decades: and the brilliant Al Perkins (ex-Flying Burrito Brothers and Manassas member) who plays steel guitar on many tracks.

I didn't even know about "Sleepless Nights" when we walked through the doors of the Carolina Theater. "That's All it Took" lived up to it's name and more. I kept hearing these fine old songs and kept thinking "Where did this come from?"
No kidding, we went home from the show, turned ... Read More
Rating: - Sleepless Nights a Winner
Patty Loveless digs way back into country music history with her latest album, Sleepless Nights. Somewhat like Martina MacBride's Timeless, Loveless treats the old tunes respectfully and still leaves her stamp on them. It's country--no mixture of pop at all--with lots of steel guitar and generally spare arrangement. Doing so lets the song and Patty's powerful, unpretentious voice be the focus.
There are several George Jones tunes, some Porter and Dolly, Hank Williams, and Webb Pierce. "There Stands the Glass" is an unexpected treat, and her treatment of "The Pain of Loving You" has Patty ... Read More
