Cline’s throaty vibrato was almost akin to the jazz singers of the day, then her country contemporaries at the time. Cline changed the course of country with her more polished pop sound, but for these covers Lynn takes a more traditional country approach on songs like “Faded Love” with a twangy vocal style. While the arrangements maintain the spirit of the original songs, Lynn speeds up the tempo a bit to suit a more modern sensibility. He also produced Lynn’s smash hit album, Coal Miner’s Daughter in 1970. Bradley is responsible for pushing Cline to add strings and vocal harmonies behind her singing and produced some of her biggest hits including “Crazy,” “I Fall to Pieces,” and “Sweet Dreams” while he was with Decca. When it came to producing the album, Lynn wisely enlisted the help of producer Owen Bradley who was one of the chief architects of the 1950s and 1960s Nashville sound.
