Chanteuse
Country US née Patty Lee
Rimey, le 4 Janvier 1957 à Pikeville (Kentucky).
One of the
most popular female singers of the new traditionalist movement, Patty Loveless
rose to stardom thanks to her blend of honky tonk and country-rock, not to
mention a plaintive, emotional ballad style. Her late-'80s records for MCA were
generally quite popular, earning her comparisons to
Patsy Cline, but most critics agreed that
she truly came into her own as an artist when she moved to Epic in the early
'90s.
Loveless was born Patricia Lee Ramey in Pikeville, KY, in 1957 and spent most of
her childhood in nearby Elkhorn City, where her father worked in the coal mines.
Her immediate family loved music, and two of her distant cousins later found
fame as Loretta Lynn and
Crystal Gayle. Unfortunately, her father
contracted black lung disease, forcing the family to move from their rural home
to Louisville for the sake of convenient medical treatment. Patty found escape
from the culture shock in music, and her father gave her a guitar when she was
11. Soon she was singing and writing songs with her older brother Roger, and the
two started performing at local country jamborees. At one such show,
the Wilburn Brothers caught their act
and gave them a standing invitation to Nashville. Roger and a 14-year-old Patty
made the trip on a weekend when the
Wilburns were out of town, but managed to talk their way into
Porter Wagoner's office instead,
impressing him with a performance of Patty's original "Sounds of Loneliness."
Wagoner took Patty under his wing,
inviting her to perform with him and Dolly
Parton on the weekends. In 1973, after finishing high school, she became a
featured vocalist with the Wilburn Brothers'
band (a post once held by Loretta Lynn)
and also signed with their publishing company. She later married the band's
drummer, Terry Lovelace, and moved to his hometown near Charlotte, NC, in 1976.
There she sang pop, rock, and R&B material with a local cover band for several
years and endured bouts with alcoholism and drug use. In the early '80s, she
returned home, hired her brother Roger as her manager, and altered the spelling
of her married name to Loveless. After traveling to Nashville to record demos of
country songs, she landed a publishing deal with Acuff-Rose and moved to
Nashville permanently in 1985; she also divorced Lovelace around the same time,
and her demo tape impressed MCA exec Tony Brown enough that he offered her a
contract later that year.
With Roger's producer friend Emory Gordy, Jr., at the controls, Loveless
released her first chart single, "Lonely Days, Lonely Nights," and her self-titled
debut album in 1986. She enjoyed some modest success, but didn't really make a
splash until the 1988 follow-up, If My Heart Had Windows, which gave her
two Top Ten hits in the title cut (originally recorded by
George Jones) and
Steve Earle's "A Little Bit of Love."
Late in 1988, she released the follow-up album that made her a star, Honky
Tonk Angel. "Timber, I'm Falling in Love" became her first number one hit in
1989, and three more singles — "Blue Side of Town," "Don't Toss Us Away," and
"The Lonely Side of Love" — reached the Top Ten before year's end, by which time
Loveless had married producer Gordy. In 1990, the album's fifth single, "Chains,"
became her second number one. Her next album, On Down the Line, came out
later that year and brought her two Top Five hits in the title cut and "I'm That
Kind of Girl." Following 1991's Up Against My Heart and its Top Five hit
"Hurt Me Bad (In a Real Good Way)," Loveless made some major changes in her
career. She parted ways with her brother as manager and switched labels to Epic,
taking husband Gordy with her as producer; moreover, she was forced to undergo
throat surgery to repair her Vocals cords before she was able to complete her
label debut.
Only What I Feel was released in early 1993 and earned Loveless the best
reviews of her career to date, thanks to a newfound level of confidence. The
number one smash "Blame It on Your Heart" helped the record go platinum, and
"How Can I Help You Say Goodbye?" and "You Will" also went Top Ten. 1994's
When Fallen Angels Fly won equal acclaim, not to mention the CMA's Album of
the Year Award; it spun off four Top Ten hits in "I Try to Think About Elvis," "Halfway
Down," "You Don't Even Know Who I Am," and "Here I Am." 1996's The Trouble
with the Truth continued Loveless' renaissance with two more number one
smashes, "You Can Feel Bad (If It Makes You Feel Better)" and "Lonely Too Long,"
and the Top Five "She Drew a Broken Heart"; that year, she won the ACM's Female
vocalist of the Year Award. However, 1997's Long Stretch of Lonesome
abruptly halted her commercial momentum; despite a similar level of consistency,
none of its singles made the Top Ten. Perhaps a shift toward slick country-pop
played a role in Loveless' sales slump, as 2000's solid Strong Heart met
with a similar fate.
In response, Loveless turned away from hitmaking and embraced the acoustic
Kentucky bluegrass of her youth, which was enjoying a renaissance of its own
thanks to O Brother, Where Art Thou? The result, Mountain Soul,
was released in 2001 and earned numerous critical plaudits, also selling
decently in spite of its lack of concern for commercialism. Loveless kept that
acoustic approach for her 2002 holiday album Bluegrass and White Snow: A
Mountain Christmas, and it also informed her proper follow-up, 2003's On
Your Way Home. The ambitious Dreamin' My Dreams appeared two years
later, followed by Sleepless Nights in 2008. In 2009, Loveless followed up
Mountain Soul with Mountain Soul II on the Suguaro Road imprint. Unlike its
predecessor, II contained classic country, mountain, and bluegrass songs, as
well as original material instead of strictly bluegrass tunes.
