Early in her career Patsy Cline was a regular on the Town and Country television show. Considering that she became what we might call the first feminist of country music -- asserting much more control over the financial and musical aspects of her career than her contemporary female country singers and being known for not taking any guff from men -- the casual ogling by the show’s host and musicians before Patsy tears into “I’m Walking the Dog” seems particularly pathetic. Turning the gender tables on this one, Cline relishes “painting the town” and living the single life with “no one to tie me down.”
