5.0 out of 5 stars Even better than the Grammy Winning Live at Carnegie Hall, January 22, 2001

Patti Page has topped herself with this release. BRAND NEW TENNESSEE WALTZ premiered at the Ryman Auditorium in Nashville on May 7, 2000. Patti was greeted with standing ovations....every song on the CD was included in the show. Many in the audience had never heard Patti in concert but appreciated every song you will hear on this CD. The selection is tops, the arrangments and production are millenium quality. Patti's readings of NEW WAY OUT, I WAS JUST THINKING, PAPER DOLLS, I BELIEVE IN YOU and TIL I GET IT RIGHT are immaculate. All are single material. In fact I tried to choose a single (being a former DJ) and couldn't come up with less than these 5 choices. Patti's treatment of the former Tammy Wynette hit, TIL I GET IT RIGHT is done in a blues style with top notch guitar work to add to the smoky nightclub flavor. NEW WAY OUT has the added charm of background vowels by some of Nashville's finest ladies, Trisha Yearwood and Emmy Lou Harris who are also heard singing harmony on other selections. Patti has a new Adult Contemporary classic in her recording of I WAS JUST THINKING. This song sounds as if it would be a hit parade favorite in any decade. PAPER DOLLS appears to have been written especially for Patti. Only an artist who has lived the decades can bring meaning to the lyric about a woman who after 50 years or so has finally come to accept herself as she is. The only song on this CD which was formerly recorded by Patti is the TENNESSEE WALTZ which she can rightly call her song. The arrangement is country and producer John Vezner says he was amazed that Patti sings it in the same key as 50 years ago. Give this a listen today.

5.0 out of 5 stars Tops Even the Grammy Winning LIVE AT CARNEGIE HALL!!!, January 18, 2001

Patti Page previewed this CD in its entirety at the Ryman in Nashville in May when it was originally released on her own label. She received standing ovations and the quality of this CD is the reason. Not only are the selections well chosen but the entire production is Millenium Gold. When I listened to this CD the first time I tried to choose the best selection for a single. I couldn't choose just one. Patti's reading of PAPER DOLLS is magnificent. Only someone who's lived the life can give life to the song. Karen Brooks' NEW WAY OUT is perfectly arranged and perfectly sung by Patti. It's great to hear I BELIEVE IN LOVE. The backing vocals of Kathy Mattea, Trisha Yearwood, Emmy Lou Harris and the rest make this a special treat. Listening to this CD reveals a well planned selection of songs, arrangements which bring out the best in each song and the best it Patti. Friends who heard the CD playing in my office had no idea who Patti Page was, but they wanted the CD.

Patti has recorded for 53 years but nothing is better than this. Some are equal but none better. You don't have to be a fan of country to appreciate this collection.

5.0 out of 5 stars Art Full, April 30, 2001

By A Customer

This review is from: Brand New Tennessee Waltz (Audio CD)

At an age when you might expect her to be enjoying that ole rockin' chair, Patti Page offers an album that redefines her talent. Always an impeccable singer with a beautiful voice who could effectly handle any kind of material, she has now added a new depth of understanding, reflection and wisdom to her singing. Her voice is not the same as it once was. It's deeper and fuller and edgy whereas it once was silk and satin. But that's right in line with what she has evolved into as an artist. She's moved on from being the perfect pop hit maker to being an artist of uncommon intelligence and insight. This is also a great country album, not a pop album masquerading as country. Patti began as a country singer and you can't invent that talent--you either have it for real or you're faking it. She has it for real. Production values, orchestrations and accompaniment here are first-rate, totally contemporary and not at all nostalgic.
