Patty Loveless' second album didn't set the world on fire when it
appeared in 1988, but it did contain a monster single in the title
track written by Dallas Frazier. Loveless was a modern singer who
sang in a true traditionalist twang. She had a mountain voice that
was suited particularly well to the new wave in "neo-traditionalist
country," and her producer/husband, Emory Gordy, Jr., knew exactly
how to combine the two. A prime example is her reading of Steve
Earle's "A Little Bit in Love," which walks the line between
rockabilly and jump boogie. This is one of those great Connie
Smith-styled strutters on which a honky tonk piano, steel guitar
whining around the acoustic six-strings, and thumping upright bass
work like a charm. Loveless has enough growl in her voice to not
only get the tune across but make it her own. The tight and
unobtrusive string arrangement, acoustic guitars, and bassline on
an uplifting tune like "You Saved Me" offer Loveless everything
she needs to dig in and wrench every ounce of gratitude out of the
lyric. There are other notables here in Eric Kaz's "Once in a
Lifetime" and Pat Bunch's swaggering "Baby's Gone Blues." In sum,
this, like virtually every record Loveless has ever made, is worth
owning if you can find it. Her integrity, down-home sincerity, and
utterly stunning voice have helped to create a streak of fine
recordings and chart success that continues to this day.
