With the passing of Patti Page on New Year's Day of this year just weeks before she was scheduled to receive the prestigious Grammy Lifetime Achievement Award America lost one of its most distinctive and distinguished musical voices, the #1-selling female artist of the '50s and a remarkably versatile singer equally at home in the pop and country genres. Virtually all Page retrospectives have concentrated on her '50s recordings for the Mercury label, but she had a very successful second act to her career while recording during the '60s for the Columbia label, where she scored a dozen chart hits. Now, to honor her singular talent and enduring recording legacy, Real Gone Music is training its collector's eye on Patti Page's Columbia recordings with From Nashville to L.A. Lost Columbia Masters 1962-1969, which serves up a full 24 previously unreleased tracks including a number of country-flavored tracks she recorded in Nashville, a single, "Tied Down"/"Pickin' Up the Pieces," that she recorded for Columbia that was shelved, must-hear interpretations of "Hallelujah I Love Him So," and "In the Sweet By and By "and more. Lifelong Page fan and friend Alan Eichler's notes include plenty of photos, including some rare shots from the family's private archive, with remastering at Sony's own Battery Studios. Any Patti Page fan is going to flip over this one!
