"You Don't Even Know Who I Am" was nominated for 1996 Grammy Awards for Best Female Country Vocal Performance and Best Country Song.
How does an artist follow up not only the best album of their career but probably the best country album of the year? That was Patty Loveless' dilemma after her 1993 gold album, ONLY WHAT I FEEL. Fortunately, Loveless sets all minds to rest with the spectacular WHEN FALLEN ANGELS FLY.
Patty Loveless is one of country music's strongest vocalists, a favorite duet/harmony partner of many country artists, especially super-vocalist Vince Gill. Her voice is the mournful call of the hills of Kentucky, powerful and proud, yet expressive and vulnerable. She brings a spiritual and graceful depth to her material, especially the ballads, her forte. From the wrenching "You Don't Even Know Who I Am" to the hushed "Over My Shoulder" Loveless offers pristine classics, and once again hits her artistic zenith. Then she switches gears and has fun with the novelty hit "I Think About Elvis" and rocks out with the Rolling Stones-ish "Old Weakness (Coming On Strong)." Her songs are varied, but always mature and haunting.
Patty Loveless is a stylist in the classic sense, an interpreter extraordinaire. Her song selection is impeccable, her production crisp and reverent. She is the best of all musical worlds: passionate, inspirational and hip. This once-fallen angel rises further with each new album; and she soars WHEN FALLEN ANGELS FLY.
| | Editorial reviews | ...[WHEN FALLEN ANGELS FLY] boasts some compassionate, heart-searching ballads, delivered without melodrama as though she's reading from her own emotional diary.

...If there's a singer in country as emotionally gripping as Loveless, I'd like to hear her...ANGELS proves that Loveless is more than a player--she may be this year's MVP...
