Will you put this woman in the Country Music Hall of Fame, please!!!!!!!! She's a national treasure. That voice! It's incredible STILL.

One of the best country female singers of all time!

Thank you Chris for bringing Patty back to all who love her and her great voice! ❤

I've said since the 80's that this lady is the most underrated voice in country music. That stands true today.

Patty Loveless…that’s country music royalty right there.

A masterclass on how real country music is meant to be played. No posing or flash, just pure passion and talent.

I love the way Chris’s wife looks so in awe at Patty singing true respect!

The world NEEDS more Patty Loveless singing live!!!!

Her voice is haunting and so strong. Better as she has aged. She is soo on each note. Blows me away.

As an Eastern Kentucky native and someone who comes from 4 generations of coal miners, this song always gives me chills

She is COUNTRY. And it comes out in her voice. In her attitude. In her humbleness despite being a massive voice in the world of American musice

Her voice calls you home from where ever you’ve wandered.

Patty never left her bluegrass roots, and it's kept her evergreen in the hearts of country people. God bless you, Patty; I hope you sing forever.

How this woman is not in the hall of fame is nothing but a damn shame

I don't want to offend anybody but Patty Loveless is Country Music. There's some out there who could be a true country singer... Patty has recorded 2 different albums featuring music like Harlan.. These songs will never be played on radio but a gift from Patty to her die hard fans. Patty, all those people who were cheering for you was overdue. Thank you.

God blessPatty Loveless! The coal miners she sings about were real people who were little more than indentured servants, They worked in the mines, lived in mine company owned housing, and were paid in script that was only redeemable at the company store. My grandfather was a coal miner in West Virginia. He told me about lying on his back while picking at coal above his head only to occasionally dig into a methane gas pocket that would be set ablaze by the carbide lamp on his helmet. He left the mines and later succumbed to black lung. And, yes, this was in the United States of America in the 20th century. We cannot imagine such things today, but if we look to the forgotten coal country of Appalachia today, we will find abandoned towns, endemic and wide spread unemployment and poverty. Millions suffer today due to the utter disregard for human life by King Coal.

She hops off the couch and within an hours time put a glimmer of hope back into country music.. long live my queen of country music

Her music touches my soul and brings tears to my eyes. Always has. Thank you Chris for bring this Country Icon back to the stage.

This is country folks… we will never see folks like Miss Patty again.
