Patsy Cline's Walkin' After Midnight

"Music. Life. Loss. And the singular sensation that is forever Patsy Cline." - Darius Rucker

Little Patsy Cline is a dreamer who dreams great big sweet and shiny dreams.

Patsy has a big voice and a big heart - and she dreams of sharing both with the world.

Whether she's fizzing sodas in a soda shop or piddling in the garden, Patsy daydreams of one day singing onstage at Carnegie Hall and The Grand Ole Opry. She muses about performing in Las Vegas one day - as the first female singer to headline her own show. She dreams of hearing herself sing on the radio and even daydreams of having her own museum one day.

Patsy's sleep dreams are also filled with adventure and blazing color.

But Patsy's favorite dreams of all are her walking after midnight dreams - she calls it dream walking. She knows she's sleeping and yet it all seems so very, very real. It's when life and loss entwine and comfort. It's where imagination and possibilities come together with surprising encounters.

A tender book about daydreams, sweet dreams and dream walking after midnight from Patsy Cline's daughter Julie Dick Fudge, and the award-winning author of Broadway Baby, Bondi & Poppy Help Heal the Planet and When We Stayed Home.

Patsy Cline made a profound and indelible impact on country music before a plane accident claimed her life in 1963. She remains one of the biggest names and influences in country music, and was one of the first country music singers to cross over into pop music. Cline recorded "Walkin' After Midnight" in 1957 and it became her first big hit, placing #2 on Billboard's country charts. In 2020 the 1957 release was inducted into the Grammy Hall of Fame.
