As always, Patty Loveless connects with listeners, singing about their joys and sorrows. SLEEPLESS NIGHTS is her newly recorded homage to the classic country hits of the 50s, 60s and 70s. She personally selected each song, country classics first made popular by George Jones, Hank Locklin, Porter Wagoner, Webb Pierce, Dolly Parton, Emmylou Harris and Conway Twitty. Born and bred country, Pattys pure crooning on these favorites is yearning and melancholy, enhanced only by sparse accompaniment. The new sessions feature several legendary band members: guitarist Harold Bradley, who played on the original hits of Patsy Cline and Roy Orbison; blind pianist "Pig" Robbins, an equally legendary session musician for decades; and the brilliant Al Perkins (ex-Flying Burrito Brothers and Manassas member) who plays steel guitar on many tracks.
