We had limited exposure to Patty's work - liked it but not die-hard fans. So we were not sure what to expect. She was fabulous! Great voice, great songs, good sense of humor, great band - all around. Very enjoyable.
The Birchmere is a fabulous venue to see a show. All the seats are close to the stage. If you're not very good at performing or the studio techs play games to make you sound better than you are, you'll know it right away in this place. There is no hiding from the truth. Patty Loveless did not disappoint. Her voice was as strong and pure as any studio recording. Her set list included a little bit of everything from all the different phases of her career...pop, contemporary country, traditional country, bluegrass, etc. She is an absolute master of her craft and a genuine pleasure to listen to no matter what she is singing.
What can I say................................................................A dear friend is madly in love with Patty in a number one fan aspect I mean), turned me on to this show. I knew of Patty years and years ago, but with the years she along with her voice have matured and awesome is the only word I can say to describe my night. I thoroughly enjoyed her performance. The venue however was a bit strange, not very upscale, food was quite nice though. Overall a 5 star night. Thanks I would love however to be able to obtain an autographed photo of Patty for my friend who sees Patty every time she's in town and saw her the night before in Annapolis.
great show by a great artist...she played a lot of her new songs that i didn't know but her voice and on-stage presence made it all come together for me
It was a wonderful concert. Over 2 straight hours of just good old singing. A little talking, no theatrics, and a super backup band with some amazing talent. Patty still has the pipes! We enjoyed it alot.
What a treat to be in the audience at The Birchmere in Alexandria, VA for one of our favorite performers; Patty Loveless. We've been listening to her music for years but only in the past five years have we become frequent listeners of her CDs. Our re-introduction started with her wonderful CD: Dreamin' My Dreams which contains one of our favorites "Keep Your Distance". Although Patty did not perform that song last night, she belted out so many of our favorites during the 2 1/2 hour show that it hardly mattered. Her band is incredibly talented and they provide the perfect accompaniment to her hauntingly-powerful voice. We were amazed at how strong her voice was throughout the evening, particularly since she took no breaks all evening. There must be magic potion in her cup of tea because she was just as strong for her encore "My Old Friend the Blues" as she was with her opener. We particularly loved "You Don't Even Know Who I Am" and the crowd was on its feet and singing along for "Blame It On Your Heart". A word to anyone who loves Patty: If she comes to your town, grab some tickets. You're in for a memorable performance!
We saw Patty at The Birchmere in Alexandria, a small club that holds about 500 people. I won't spoil the show for others, than to say she has a new record out and a brand new show in support of the record. Patty's voice was on display last night and she did a outstanding job. Her music runs from country to blue grass to folk and traditional, and her selections were fantastic. This was clearly her best show since her "Mountain Soul" tour in 2001. Patty Loveless is truly an American musical treasure.
Patty Loveless showed why she is a legend last night (Nov 1, 2009) at the Birchmere in Alexandria,Va. She sang non stop for close to 2 1/2 hours which in itself is unusual these days for stars of her magnitude. Her pure strong voice was as good, if not better, than a decade or two ago. The band was spectacular--first class musicians. They were just as impressive as Patty herself. If you have a chance to see them, I suggest it is worth travelling almost any distance. They were that good.
She sang almost nonstop for more than two hours and did a mix of new songs and old, up-tempo and slow, with lots of her fans' favorites. Her musicians are superb and play wonderfully together. They're all clearly having fun. And as always Patty bonded with her audience. Come back soon, Patty!
