Mountain Soul ii Patty LoveLess With four platinum albums under her belt, Patty Loveless is still proving her music is as priceless as precious metal to the country music world. Since her childhood in the mountains of Eastern Ken-tucky, Loveless has been tied to the country scene. She recalls listening and singing along with artists at the Grand Ole Opry as her mother mopped the floors. My father loved the moun-tain bluegrass sound of the Stan-ley Brothers, Lester Flatt and Earl Scruggs, and Bill Monroe, Love-less, 52, explains. He took me to see Lester, Earl and the Foggy Mountain Boys perform on top of a concession stand during an intermission at a local drive-in the-ater. I was only six years old, and I can still remember that moment to this day. In the late 1980s and throughout the '90s, the songstress dominated the country charts with hits such as Don't Toss Us Away, Timber, I'm Falling in Love, How Can I Help You Say Goodbye and I Try to Think About Elvis. Mountain Soul II comes with a unique ensemble of talents. Fiddlers Stuart Duncan and Deanie Richard-son, Dobro player Rob Ickes, as well as the vocal discovery of 16-year-old backup singer Sydni Perry, are all included. Though the sound may be a detour, the song genres are not. The album's seventh track, Friends in Gloryland, is an example of one of the traditional gospel songs the album features. A more folksy sound can be heard in Barbara Keith's Bramble and the Rose. Loveless performs a moving har-mony with Emmylou Harris in the artist's original song, Diamond in My Crown.
