TRUE LOVE is a nicely assembled selection of tracks that originally appeared on Cline`s albums between 1961 and 1963. Actually, the word "standards" is a little misleading, as there`s no Gershwin, Johnny Mercer, Rogers and Hart, or Jerome Kern to be found here (although there are two lesser songs by Cole Porter and Irving Berlin). It`s more accurate to say that this is a collection of (occasionally cornball) oldies, harmonically and structurally similar to country songs, that Cline`s producer Owen Bradley had her sing in an early attempt at pop crossover. That said, Cline doesn`t try to sing them as pop. Her phrasing and intonation remain as distinctively country as ever. Standouts include Berlin`s "Always," which Cline tears into with genuine passion, and a smoldering version of "Bill Bailey Won`t You Please Come Home" which abruptly starts to swing at the halfway mark.
