Sweet Dreams is the 1985 soundtrack album to the movie of the same name, starring Jessica Lange and Ed Harris about the life of country music star, Patsy Cline. The soundtrack's music contained all original songs by Patsy Cline.

The album was released following the movie. Although the soundtrack included original songs performed by Patsy Cline, it did not contain the original background vocal music, as all of it was overdubbed to fit each part of the movie. Cline's original producer, Owen Bradley produced the soundtrack. The music was remixed by Doug Crider at Music City Music Hall in Nashville, Tennessee. The overdub recording sessions took place in 1984 at Bradley's Barn in Mount Juliet, Tennessee. Originally released on a record, the soundtrack was later reissued in a CD format later in the decade.[2] The lead single from the soundtrack, "Sweet Dreams" was released in 1985, but it failed to chart any US chart. However, the album itself charted at #6 on the Billboard Top Country Albums chart in 1985.

In April 1987, Sweet Dreams was certified Gold by the RIAA for shipments of over 500,000 copies in the United States.[3]
