With a powerful, expressive voice, Patty Loveless blended influences of bluegrass, honky-tonk, and West Coast country-rock. In the process, she created a distinctive, tradition-based sound updated with a modern lyrical perspective on relationships, families, and other real-life concerns. The convincing, lived-in sincerity of her mountain-bred voice helped her songs ring true, whether conveying heartbreak or humor. Born Patty Lee Ramey on January 4, 1957, Loveless lists her birthplace as Pikevill

Singing their hearts out, emotional Patty Loveless and Vince Gill gave the most heartfelt performance of the song “Go Rest High on That Mountain.” At points in the song, Vince is so overcome with emotion, and Patty has to take over. | Country Music E-TV
