This week brings a wave of excitement for fans of the late country music icon, Patsy Cline, as an extraordinary collection of 15 previously unheard songs has been unveiled. The release comes six decades after her tragic passing and includes rare recordings from between 1954 and 1963. Available in a limited-edition two-LP set titled "Imagine That: The Lost Recordings (1954-1963)," these tracks also will be offered as a two-CD set. Comprising a total of 48 tracks, this compilation highlights both newly discovered material and live performances that showcase the timeless talent of one of country music's most beloved figures.

The journey to unearth these hidden gems involved dedicated efforts by Patsy Cline’s daughter, Julie Fudge, alongside sound engineer Dylan Utz, producer Zev Feldman, and discographer George Hewitt. Together, they pieced together audio artifacts that bring listeners closer to understanding the artistry of Cline, even decades after her untimely death at the age of 30 in a plane crash near Camden, Tennessee.
