Click, now, to read the complete Grub Street Interview with Vicki Gillespie, of Almost Patsy Cline.
Country Music is a child of rural US folk songs [url=http://www.mnfruit.com/louboutinpascher.php]louboutin pas cher[/url] and ballads. It appeared the 1920s, abetted by network radio. The weight of its songs rests on clear, clean, crisp music and bulky lyrics that sell three-minute melodramas. Examples [url=http://www.1855sacramento.com/peuterey.php]peuterey[/url] are "Crazy Arms," by Ray Price; "Big City," by Merle Haggard, and, more recently, "Black Cadillacs," by Carrie Yearwood.
Singers sell songs. Lacking [url=http://www.gotprintsigns.com/abercrombiepascher/‎]abercrombie soldes[/url] much vocal talent, Rod Stewart sells songs, well, across music styles. He has huge hits with Pop, Folk, Rock, Standards, Motown and Christmas songs.
A good Blues singer thinks of her life as full of misery and suffering, as did Janis Joplin. It takes equal amounts of misogyny and male centric lust to sell Rock, as did Robert Plant. To sell Country Music, as well as does George Strait, calls for plenty of warmth and hope.
Patsy Cline sold songs much better than most. In 1955, she sold, "Walking after Midnight," [url=http://www.maximoupgrade.com/hot.php]hollister france[/url] a pure Country song, to a national US television audience. Pop music was what that tone-deaf audience understood; Country Music was a hillbilly, backwoods novelty. Cline won the 1 July 1955 episode of "Arthur Godfrey's Talent Scouts," an amateur talent show akin to "American Idol." Her win confirmed she could sell any [url=http://www.ilyav.com/uggpascher.php]ugg pas cher[/url] song to any audience.
"Her ability to sell a song," says Vicki Gillespie, "led to a riddle, popular among singers and musicians in Texas. 'How many Texas 'chick' singers does it take to sing Patsy Cline?'" The answer all the Texas 'chick' singers.
Vicki Gillespie is no slouch when it comes to selling a song. She fronts "Almost Patsy [url=http://www.1855sacramento.com/moncler.php]moncler sito ufficiale[/url] Cline." "We're not a tribute band," says Gillespie. "The band name came from a friend who thought I sounded [url=http://www.mnfruit.com/abercrombie.php]abercrombie[/url] like Cline when I sing." [url=http://www.rtnagel.com/louboutin.php]louboutin pas cher[/url] Yet, sometimes, they must outsell Cline to appease her most fervent fans.
"Almost Patsy Cline," wrote reviewer, T Johnson, "is a Texas band with heart; the most enjoyable band in Hill Country." A nameless blogger, wrote, "They sound so much like Patsy and her music, it is beyond spooky." About Vicki Gillespie, a blogger wrote her voice is "as smooth as [url=http://www.mquin.com/saclancel.php]lancel[/url] an expensive liqueur."
The larger question is why Gillespie is a singer with "Almost Patsy Cline." A retired school teacher, with a family, she earned the right to an easy life. Instead, she lives the wild life, of a sort, performing at least ten nights a month in bars, restaurants and dance halls all over Texas.
"I wasn't getting any younger," says Gillespie. "Would this chance come, again?" She went for it." In 2001, Gillespie [url=http://www.rtnagel.com/airjordan.php]nike air jordan pas cher[/url] formed "Almost Patsy [url=http://www.sandvikfw.net/shopuk.php]hollister sale[/url] Cline," with Lanette Pennell.
No jukebox band, "Almost Patsy Cline" sells a wide range of music, well beyond Classic Country. This isn't what you [url=http://www.1855sacramento.com/moncler.php]moncler outlet[/url] expect from a Texas Two-step band. "Almost Patsy Cline" is not what you expect on first hearing the name.
In this exclusive interview, Gillespie shows conformity is only one road to success and explains why "Almost Patsy Cline" is such a success.
