#41 "Crazy" by Patsy Cline

Patsy Cline's "Crazy" is one of those cool old songs that usually finds its way onto one movie sountrack or another. The lazy piano... the great brushed drums... it all makes for some good background music playing on a jukebox in some country bar or in some scene in a hot and steamy living room in the deep south.

Here are three things I can relate to this song:

1) Patsy Cline was born in Winchester, Virginia which is about 45 minutes from where I live. She's a local girl!

2) "Crazy" was actually written by a young Willie Nelson!

3) "Sweet Dreams" was the 1985 bio-movie made about Patsy Cline's life. It starred Jessica Lange as the country legend. I used to have a MAJOR crush on Jessica Lange back in the day. Remember her debut in King Kong? HELLO! And how about her risque scenes in "The Postman Always Rings Twice"? I tell ya... she gave me some naughty fantasies for a long time.

"Crazy" can be found on any number of Patsy Cline compilations like "20th Century Masters" or "The Definitive Collection." To hear the song, click on the icon in the widget jukebox along the side of the page
