I've never read anything on the phenomenon, but I've always believed that the release of the Patsy Cline biopic Sweet Dreams in 1985 was the driving force behind her late 80's posthumous revival that lasted at least until the mid to late 1990's. And as with Johnny Cash, legions of folks still say "I don't like country music, but I like Patsy Cline". I don't hear nearly as much about Patsy these days, but I thought I'd put together a 1) mix of her rarities and also a 2) tribute album of sorts - i.e. artists who would definitely be classified as Patsy followers on allmusic.com.
Still a Patsy for Patsy

Thank you Ishka I love to hear country music
Great set, Ish. I especially love the Inclineds!! Nice mix, true to the Pastydom.
Thanks a lot. Can't wait to listen :)
I've just got the "If you're so inclined" joke - doh! Anyhoo, a very nice mix and match of vintage and new. Many thanks.
