The Very Best Of Dolly Parton

Product Information

It looks like a forced march through the results of a Radio 2 poll to find The Nation’s Favourite Rock Anthems: We Are the Champions and We Will Rock You, Stairway to Heaven and (I Can’t Get No) Satisfaction, Every Breath You Take, Free Bird, Let It Be, Heart of Glass and – there’s no accounting for taste in these polls, is there? Creedence Clearwater Revival’s Long As I Can See the Light has a hymnal mood, which suits her perfectly. Both The Seeker (1-14) and 9 To 5 (2-8) are 15 seconds longer than their original album versions, with a longer fade at the end. Classic Rock described it as "a monumentally hideous, yet strangely glorious album", [29] while Mojo felt that "even if there are moments when Rockstar seems under-amped, you have to admire her chutzpah".

But that admission shows that her earlier success had actually allowed her the freedom to occasionally do whatever she wanted with her music. She has released albums on independent labels since 2000, including albums on her own label, Dolly Records. Both of these classic albums have been newly remastered for a three-CD collection packed with rare and unreleased music produced by Harris herself.com, the Sell on Etsy app, and the Etsy app, as well as the electricity that powers Etsy’s global offices and employees working remotely from home in the US.

From her debut single ‘Dumb Blonde’, Dolly made it clear she was at ease with telling jokes at her own expense.

Listening across the decades what struck me most was how often Dolly mined the same themes, sometimes even the similar melodies or titles, until she found the exact right ingredients to make a hit. PopMatters ' Peter Piatkowski wrote that "despite the rockstar affectations, Rockstar is a country-pop album that hopscotches through various genres" including disco on " Heart of Glass" and although there are "wildly divergent styles represented on the record, Parton doesn't seem lost or adrift, even if her beautiful trill is shoved in front of buzzing electric guitars". Her favorite collaborator was fellow country musician Chris Stapleton, [18] who stepped in when Bob Seger was unable to join Parton on " Night Moves" due to experiencing problems with his voice.

The third single, "Bygones", featuring Rob Halford with guests Nikki Sixx and John 5, was released the following day. Even then her choice was still somewhat commercially minded, using the trends of the time to her advantage.Contains remixed/alternate version of "Think About Love", "She Don't Love You (Like I Love You)", "We Had It All", "Do I Ever Cross Your Mind", and "I Can't Help Myself (Sugar Pie, Honey Bunch)". Shattered Image’ is one of her best songs because she admits the truth of how hurtful the attacks have been, concluding ‘the world is cruel and people are cold’.

I started my project to listen to all of Dolly’s albums in 2018 and I admit it took me much longer to finish this than I had anticipated ( see the full list of reviews here). When the stars aligned and the friends were finally able to record a full album, a powerhouse sound of country and Americana was born. Jolene’ had two or three precursors which lead to the perfect song, same with ‘Coat of Many Colors’ and ‘I Will Always Love You’. By laughing at herself, loudly and freely, she showed herself to be amiable in the face of any attacks on her character. Popularly referred as the " Queen of Country" by the media, she is also widely recognized as the most honored woman in country music history.

Listening to many of her albums in the late seventies and eighties might leave you scratching your head but in context you can see her shift to the mainstream was necessary for survival.
