GRAMMY AWARD-WINNING SINGER

PATTY LOVELESS

JOINS SAGUARO ROAD RECORDS

TO RELEASE 19TH CD

Sleepless Nights "The Traditional Country Soul of Patty Loveless" debuts September 9 Nashville, Tenn.




- For those aching to hear the pure, lonesome tenor from the Appalachian siren of modern country, the wait isover. With her first release in three years, Patty Loveless is back with her19th CD on a new label, Saguaro Road Records, formed in June 2008 by Direct Holdings Americas Inc. Direct Holdings also markets and sells audio and video entertainment products under the Time Life brand, which it uses underlicense from Time Warner Inc.

Produced with her husband and musical soul mate, Emory Gordy Jr., and backedby a Who's Who of Nashville A-list session players, including Harold Bradley, John Hobbs, Hargus "Pig" Robbins, Harry Stinson, Steve Gibson and Biff Watson, with background vocals by Vince Gill, Sleepless Nights features14 titles that the pair culled from a pool of nearly 500 songs. This albumof classics celebrates the many facets of heartache that make country music the diary of the common man.
"Emory and I were talking over dinner about recapturing some of these moments from my youth," Loveless explains, "because I want to inspire and remind people of what country is made of. It takes me back especially to mybrother, Roger, and my sister, Dottie, and the music they loved.

"It's a little bit of a history lesson, but I think once you hear the songs,the stories ... you're going to be drawn to it," continues Loveless. "People lived a little differently then, but at the same time, there's a lot more in common [with today] than people would think." Hailed by People magazine as"equal parts Linda Ronstadt and Patsy Cline" when her two-million-selling Only What I Feel was released, Loveless has always believed in honoring her upbringing. Born in rural eastern Kentucky to a coal mining father who loved bluegrass, Patty followed her roots all the way to the Opry stage afterfirst catching the ear of Porter Wagoner when she was only 13. She released
her self-titled debut in 1987 and has never looked back.

A CMA Female Vocalist and Album of the Year winner, Loveless has consistently set a standard for what country music should be with platinum CDs and chart-topping songs like "You Don't Even Know Who I Am" and "How Can I Help You Say Goodbye." As Time magazine once noted, "Her songs catalog every sin a man can commit,every pain a woman can bear. If you turn on the radio and hear a strongheart breaking, chances are it's the one in that plangent Loveless voice..."

Not many can make and old song sound like a new piece as Patty can. Nice to hear REAL country again.

Middle of the night! and nothing but the truck. Patty's voice in my head. Helps get ya down the road 

[SusanDrOh]

Taylor Swift is cute and she does well on her own music (which all sounds the same to me), but I watched her try to sing someone else's music and it wasn't happening. Give Patty a piece of music, I don't care where it came from, and she can sing the hell out of it. And she was born to sing traditional country music

[epson565]

Wow all I can say.

[Hondafan64]

Wow she still sounds great

[mrdefkon1]

Yeah I have loved her since the early 90s. The voice, the beauty, she has it all. Damn I'm still goo-goo for her. Taylor Swift is great too, but Patty is the real deal--- and closer to my age :)
