If you have just started listening to Dolly Parton - this CD would be an excellent introduction to her music. 2004, Spectrum Music. It comes with a 2 page insert giving a full biography of a woman who has been "at the top of her profession for nearly forty years." As a whole, it is a highly polished product and possibly the best CD I have bought so far this year. I would thoroughly recommend it since these are all top quality recordings with a very wide appeal. The 21 tracks alternate between pure country, rock country & crossover but the standard of performance is high throughout. It also illustrates the range of other artists she collaborates with. I especially like 1 -Just When I Needed You Most (with Alison Krauss & John Sebastian)and 4 -Before The Next Teardrop Falls (with David Hidalgo)and 11 - Blue Valley Songbird. The fantastic Ladysmith Black Mambazo contribute to 5 - Peace Train/Isitimela Sokuthula and then she is back in rock/country mode with 6 - The Salt in my Tears. 12 of the tracks are credited to Dolly Parton herself and are a testimony to her song writing talent; other credits includes Randy Van Warmer (1 - Just When I needed you most), Kenny O' Dell (2 - Behind Closed Doors),Kris Kristofferson (3 - For the Good Times), Neil Young (10 - After the Goldrush) and others. The fact that not all the songs were originally written by DP does not detract from the CD. In fact, it strengthens it even further. These "non-Dolly" songs have been chosen perfectly to complement her own style of lyrics. There is very little to criticize in this collection. The sound quality is excellent (even when played on my laptop which is very bloody minded when it wants to be). 10/10 and highly recommended.Read full review
