The Very Best Of Dolly Parton

Product Information

A career-spanning, cross-label anthology featuring 23 essential recordings from 1971-2020 for the first time on one album. Dolly claims to have no particular religion, she doesn’t attend a church and yet she has a strong faith in God which is reflected in her music.

Her sassy songs about leaving useless, cheating men for a better life have also given her endless opportunities to say the same thing to her listeners: dump the dude and get to living. When she released her bluegrass trilogy Dolly said: ‘I had to get rich so I could sing like I was poor’. Turning off the personalised advertising setting won’t stop you from seeing Etsy ads, but it may make the ads you see less relevant or more repetitive. The concert does not survive in its entirety, as all releases of this concert are missing the last four songs from the set list. She sounds great on the downhome southern rock of Freebird and duetting with goddaughter Miley Cyrus on Wrecking Ball.

Parton pursued Mick Jagger to provide vocals on her Rolling Stones cover, but he had a scheduling conflict [16] and failed to reunite Led Zeppelin's Jimmy Page and Robert Plant for her new cover of " Stairway to Heaven", a favorite of her husband Carl Dean. Helen Brown of The Independent found it "so long that it can feel like a bit of a slog" but "after all the glittering joy and fluttering hope Parton has given the world, it's hard to begrudge her a little Dollyoke fun". What I did learn about her music and her life might already be obvious to others, but I thought I would share some of my conclusions here about what Dolly’s music can teach us about how to live a good life.

It would be more than a decade before the group released a follow-up, but when Trio II arrived in 1999 it did not disappoint. Along with the brutal ‘Coat of Many Colors’ Dolly spoke the truth about the suffering of her poverty stricken upbringing.When you grow up with an artist and listen along to them, it’s much easier to connect and put their work in context than trying to listen to everything all at once.
