LONG STRETCH OF LONESOME was nominated for a 1998 Grammy Award for Best Country Album. "You Don't Seem To Miss Me" was nominated for a 1998 Grammy Award for Best Country Collaboration With Vocals.
With her matchless raw emotional power, Patty Loveless covers familiar country music territory in a way that makes it sound both fresh and completely real. Loveless's voice is at its finest on her fourth album for Epic Nashville, throbbing with emotion on songs like "To Have You Back Again," an achingly sad tale of lost love, and conveying a quiet strength on "I Don't Want To Feel Like That." There is an underlying sense of hope throughout LONG STRETCH OF LONESOME which rescues the album from looming heartache, even on the most painful songs. Loveless is also adept at diving into more up-tempo numbers, such as the rocking "High On Love," and "The Party Ain't Over Yet."
Editorial Reviews
...her latest smartly explores near-existential concepts, from blind faith and romantic doubt to destiny and middle-age blahs. Most refreshing is how Loveless' Appalachian blues sound torchy with hardly a hint of twang. - Rating: A-
