![]() ![]() “She’s Got You” was another major hit for Cline, one in a series of country-pop smashes that signaled a comeback after several years in the wilderness and established her as one of the most successful crossover artists in Nashville. With that aching note, Cline reaches out of the song, out of the past, and right into the present moment. She might have convinced herself that there was comfort to be found in those old objects, but that “or” obliterates any such hope. The way Cline sings “or” isn’t a sigh or a sob. “I’ve got your memory,” she sings, sounding as though this alone might sustain her. “She’s Got You,” which opens Sentimentally Yours, the final full-length she released during her lifetime, is about the souvenirs of a romance that ended abruptly Patsy has his class ring, his photograph, all the physical objects that typically signify love and commitment. But Cline made that “or” the song’s emotional hinge. ![]()
