They survey the full breadth of the singer’s artistry, from her first days as a professional musician with Bill Peer & the Melody Boys and Girls in the early ’50s to the apex of her popularity, just weeks before she tragically died at the age of 30 in a plane crash on March 5, 1963.

The legacy of the late, legendary country vocalist Patsy Cline, whose celebrated recordings of the 1950s and 1960s with producer Owen Bradley helped establish the genre’s pop-crossover “Nashville Sound,” receives a new chapter on Record Store Day (April 12) with Imagine That: The Lost Recordings (1954-1963), a revelatory collection of previously unreleased recordings from Elemental Music/Deep Digs.

Drawn from radio broadcasts, TV shows, and private recordings, these meticulously restored performances cast a fresh spotlight on Cline’s luminous, powerful voice, and eschew the opulent strings and vocal choruses of Bradley’s productions in favor of an
intimate, unadorned, earthy sound

Affecting alternate versions of Cline’s charttopping crossover hits “Walking After Midnight,” “I Fall to Pieces,” “Crazy,” and “She’s Got You” are included

She is heard duetting with such fellow country stars as Cowboy
Copas (who died in the crash that took Cline’s life), Ferlin Husky, Red Foley, Bobby Lord, Ernest Tubb, and Lonzo & Oscar

Co- produced by award- winning archival producer Zev Feldman, Cline discographerand authority George Hewitt, and engineer Dylan Utz, Imagine That features a detailed track-by-track discography; a historical note by writer Martin Melhuish; reflections on
Cline’s art by musicians k.d

lang, Marty Stuart, and Ray Benson; and more.
