LeAnn Rimes
LeAnn Rimes is all of 17, but five albums into her career, she’s already gone back to her roots by covering 11 of what her new CD jacket calls ”some of the greatest songs ever written.” In this case, it means country standards, including five by Patsy Cline, whose sound Rimes so uncannily replicated in her star-making debut single, ”Blue.” After years of living with Cline comparisons, Rimes (and producer/dad Wilbur Rimes) embraces them with oh-so-faithful renditions of ”Crazy,” complete with its tinkling piano, as well as ”I Fall to Pieces” and ”Leavin’ on Your Mind,” with their swelling strings and lush backing vocals. Rimes even nods to her own distant past by including a version of Marty Robbins’ ”Don’t Worry” — the song that won her Star Search fame as an 8-year-old.
For all the well-chosen tried-and-true country weepers here, and for all the catches in the throat that Rimes so skillfully executes, LeAnn Rimes rarely elicits a catch in the listener’s throat. And on the album’s biggest misstep, Kris Kristofferson’s ”Me and Bobby McGee” (the only No. 1 hit for Janis Joplin, who was all bluesy grit and poignancy on her signature version), Rimes sounds about as ”busted flat” as if she were having gold-card problems at the Plaza Hotel.

Leavin' on Your Mind
1963 single by Patsy Cline
"Leavin' on Your Mind" is a country pop song written by Wayne Walker and Webb Pierce, first recorded by Canadian singer Joyce Smith in 1962.
Patsy Cline was in Owen Bradley's office one day, heard the record Smith made, and immediately wanted the song for herself. According to Smith, "He said, 'No you can't have it. I'm going to see what that Canadian gal does with it'." Smith's single, released in 1962, did not reach the top 40, but it sold more than 100,000 copies, a hit for a first record and enough that Smith recouped the studio expenses and made a little money in royalties.
Cline recorded the song later in 1962 at the Bradley Studios in Nashville, Tennessee and released it in 1963. It was her last single before she died in a plane crash in March of that year. Unlike her earlier hits "Crazy" and "I Fall to Pieces", "Leavin' On Your Mind" stalled at #83 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart. However, the song went to #8 on the Billboard country chart, and it remains a classic in country music.
Cline had planned to include the song on her upcoming album, called Faded Love, along with two other singles to be released that year. The album was not released as planned at the end of March because of her death. Instead, the so
