"The Queens of Country: Loretta Lynn, Dolly Parton, Patsy Cline" (MPI, 2009, three discs, color and b/w, $24.98). Culled from TV appearances, each of these discs collects live performances of respective early hits by Cline (from various programs), Lynn (as a young regular on "The Wilburn Brothers Show") and Parton (from her 1976 syndicated half-hour program, with guests Kenny Rogers, Rod McKuen, Linda Ronstadt and Emmylou Harris).
These are reissues of earlier releases: "Patsy Cline: Sweet Dreams Still," "Loretta Lynn: Songs of Inspiration" and "Dolly Parton & Friends." The latter is actually a two-disc set, but only the first disc is here (with three episodes and a bonus song from "The Porter Wagoner Show"); the disc even has imprinted: "Disc One."
