Sorry Ms. Thompson
This CD is just OK. I found the liner notes to be more interesting than the CD. There were a few good songs, but nothing to write home about. What struck me in listening is that that Ms. Thompson's voice is very similar to that of Theresa Brewer. If I had been able to listen to this CD first I would not have purchased it.

Good overview of an early '60s hitmaker
Sue Thompson"Sad Movies And Other Tales Of Woe"(Jasmine, 2014). . . .A generously-programmed, 30-song collection of golden oldies from country-pop star Sue Thompson, who flourished in the same genre-bending, in-between space as '50s/'60s-era singers like Brenda Lee and Patsy Cline, subtly mixing muted, feminine twang with bouncy pop orchestrations. At times she slips into an almost girl-groupish sound, as well as mildly growly rockabilly-tinged material that's reminiscent of Wanda Jackson. Thompson had authentic country cred -- she was married to country swinger Hank Penny, and covered some overtly country material, such as Don Gibson's "Oh Lonesome Me" (and later formed a duo act with Gibson during the early '70s). But perky Kennedy-era teenpop was her real bread and butter, notably with a string of hits written by the up-an-coming John D. Loudermilk, which put her in the Pop Top Ten in 1961, where she slowly coasted down into the Top 40, then the Top 100, and then into a more exclusively country-oriented direction in the 'Seventies. This is a very nice overview of her early work, dipping into both pop and country, including some really nice tracks, and even a few surprises, such as her resonant cover of the Everly Brothers' "Til I Kissed You," as well as her better-known chart hits. If you finally want to check out her work, this disc is a fine option. (DJ Joe Sixpack, Slipcue Guide To Country Music)

Lovely to update my Sue Thompson collection with this CD. Memorable and well worth a listen for those not familiar with this talented lady.
