Always is an album released in 1980, promoting some material of country singer Patsy Cline's work from the 1960s.
The album included an overdub single in 1980 titled "Always". The song peaked at No. 18 on the US country singles chart that year, and it was a return to prominence for Cline.
AllMusic reports that, "In 1980, Bradley took ten of Cline's master tapes and wiped everything but the original lead vocals, brought in a cast of session folks, backup singers, and string players and remade vintage tunes." [1]
