Don't Send Me No More Roses

2009 collection of achingly beautiful gems from the Country vocalist. A role model for the female Country singers who followed her and contemporary Kitty Wells, Goldie Hill was the inspiration for Patsy Cline, Loretta Lynn and Dolly Parton, Following her early '50s hit sides, this collection gathers together 16 of her most aching tales of break up, lost love and tear-sodden disaster, all from a back porch far, far away. Guaranteed not to leave a dry eye in the house and with a backing sound that's pure melancholy, Don't Send Me No More Roses is the ultimate in soulful Country balladeering with a sound that's very much in the Gram Parsons and Emmylou Harris style. Righteous.
