The Very Best Of Dolly Parton

Product Information

She has released albums on independent labels since 2000, including albums on her own label, Dolly Records. The concert does not survive in its entirety, as all releases of this concert are missing the last four songs from the set list. Her worst albums of the seventies and eighties were weak exactly because she lost that sense of humour.

It’s not the only way you can envisage Rockstar being approached differently, with more enjoyable results.It’s no surprise that when their three voices united to release their debut collaboration, the results were remarkable. 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 song selection suggests either Parton has what you might charitably describe as a very basic relationship with rock music, or she’s opted for marquee-name crowd pleasing.

The album received generally positive reviews from critics and debuted at number three on the Billboard 200, becoming Parton's highest-charting solo studio album as well as topping the Country and Rock Albums charts. 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). Hear 9 to 5; Islands in the Stream (with Kenny Rogers); Jolene; Dumb Blonde; Please Don't Stop Loving Me (with Porter Wagoner); Coat of Many Colors; Mule Skinner Blues; Joshua; Shine, and much more!Prior to the reveal of the official track listing, Parton had performed "Wrecking Ball" with her goddaughter Miley Cyrus at her New Year's Eve show. Trio arrived in 1987; sold more than four million copies; won two Grammy Awards; and topped the country album chart for five consecutive weeks. 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.

If you’ve already done that, your item hasn’t arrived, or it’s not as described, you can report that to Etsy by opening a case.

It was also her first album to top Billboard's Top Album Sales chart in the chart's 32 year existence. When the stars aligned and the friends were finally able to record a full album, a powerhouse sound of country and Americana was born. The highlight on this album for me is the final song Free Bird which lasts just over 11 minutes but is the stand-out track. This album features Parton's January 18, 2001 performance on Austin City Limits (which aired on March 24, 2001), with bonus tracks performed by various other country artists. Global icon and recent Rock n’ Roll Hall of Fame inductee, Dolly Parton, has joined forces with some of Rock music’s most legendary artists along with today’s biggest stars for her first-ever Rock album, Rockstar.She absolutely belts out Every Breath You Take, which doesn’t do much for the song’s subtly creepy undercurrent.
