The albums are done, the extras are done, it is now time for the finale of the Patty Loveless album rankdown series! The Album Tracks rankdown! There are so many songs from her career that would be eligible for this if we did a complete 5 songs from each album (85 songs total). I decided to eliminate songs from certain albums to make it a little bit smaller than 85 songs and I think I have a good collection that encompasses her entire career with 65 total (eliminating 20 songs).
From the beginning of Patty's career she was signed to MCA records and released 5 albums. The first two albums are not on streaming anywhere and therefore I decided to include only the top 2 album tracks from each. From
Patty Loveless we have the song that ranked #1 for that album "Half Over You", as well as the #3 track "Slow Healing Heart". From
If My Heart Had Windows we have the #1 song from that album as well "Working Man's Hands" and the #4 ranked "Fly Away".
Patty's breakthrough album
Honky Tonk Angel is next and I included the Top 4 album tracks from this one that ranked at #5, #7, #8, and #9! "I Won't Gamble With Your Love", "Go On", "I'll Never Grow Tired of You", and "I'm On Your Side".
Her next MCA album
On Down The Line gives us the next 4 songs that ranked from #5 to #8! "Overtime", "Some Morning Soon", "You Can't Run Away From Your Heart", and "Looking In The Eyes of Love". With her last MCA album
Up Against My Heart the album tracks that ranked at #3, #4, #5, and #6 will be included and those are: "God Will", "I Came Straight To You", "Waitin' For The Phone To Ring", and "Nobody Loves You Like I Do".
After this Patty switched labels and signed with Epic Records. Her first album for them was
Only What I Feel. This album will have the full Top 5 album tracks as it is the first album of her biggest run of albums. Included here are the #4 ranked song "All I Need (Is Not To Need You)", the #5 "Love Builds The Bridges (Pride Builds The Walls)", the #7 "You Don't Know How Lucky You Are", the #8 "What's A Broken Heart", and the #9 "Mr. Man In The Moon".
Patty's CMA Album of the Year winning
When Fallen Angels Fly is next and we will only rank the Top 4 songs from this album. Technically song #5 will still be ranked but not the version from this album. Included is the #4 "When The Fallen Angels Fly", the #5 "Over My Shoulder", the #7 "Old Weakness (Coming On Strong)", and the #8 "Ships".
Patty's
The Trouble With The Truth is next and we will rank all 5 album tracks as it had 5 singles and 5 album tracks. The #6 through #10 songs are included: "I Miss Who I Was (With You)", "Tear-Stained Letter", "Everybody's Equal In The Eyes of Love", "To Feel That Way Again", and "Someday I Will Lead The Parade"!
Next up is
Long Stretch of Lonesome and we will rank the Top 5 album tracks from this album. Included are the #4 "The Party Ain't Over Yet", the #5 "That's Exactly What I Mean", the #7 "Too Many Memories", the #8 "I Don't Want To Feel Like That", and the #9 "Long Stretch of Lonesome".
Next up is Patty's album
Strong Heart that kicked off the 2000s. This one will see the Top 5 album tracks be included: The #2 "She Never Stopped Loving Him", #3 "My Heart Will Never Break This Way Again", #5 "Thirsty", #7 "You Don't Get No More", and the #8 "Pieces On The Ground".
That leads us right into Patty's excellent first foray into the Bluegrass genre with the fantastic
Mountain Soul. While the Bluegrass eras are not as popular on Pulse this album will still have the top 4 album tracks included. They are the #1 "You'll Never Leave Harlan Alive", #2 "Cheap Whiskey", #3 "Sorrowful Angels", and #4 "Sounds of Loneliness". Patty released her Christmas album
Bluegrass and White Snow at this point in her career. I am not going to include any of those here.
Patty's final album with commercial success was the incredible
On Your Way Home. This album will see the top 5 album tracks included and they are: #2 "I Don't Want To Be That Strong", #3 "The Grandpa That I Know", #5 "Nothin' Like The Lonely", #6 "Born-Again Fool", and the #8 "Draggin' My Heart Around".
Ending her Epic albums is the under-appreciated
Dreamin' My Dreams. From this we have 4 tracks: #2 "Nobody Here By That Name", #3 "Big Chance", #4 "Dreaming My Dreams Of You", and #5 "On The Verge of Tears".
Now we get to Patty's final two, independent released, albums. The first,
Sleepless Nights, will include 4 songs: #2 "He Thinks I Still Care", #3 "There Stands the Glass", #4 "Pain of Loving You", and #5 "Please Help Me I'm Falling". With
Mountain Soul II we will rank the top 3 tracks including the #1 ranked "A Handful Of Dust", and this is why we will not rank the version from her
When Fallen Angels Fly album. Also included is the #2 "Blue Memories", and the #3 "You Burned the Bridge".
Finally we have the songs included from the Extras rankdown. I will include the top 5 non-singles and they are the #1 "House of Cash" with George Strait, the #2 duet with Carly Pearce "Dear Miss Loretta", the #3 duet with Chris Young "Love Won't Let Me Down", the #6 "No Good For Me" with Jimmy Wayne, and the #7 duet with Radney Foster "The Rainbow Down The Road".
and there you have it. 65 songs in total and a great mix to wrap up this series! I'm opening this now but giving plenty of time to get lists in as I will be having this due on February 18th!
and if you read all of that, thank you lol.
