Dolly Parton Album: “Peace Train”

First of all, who would ever think about doing dance mixes of an old Cat Stevens song? Secondly, a country singer gone techno? No wonder this track got so much buzz in the music industry. And the reason for its amazing longevity on the club charts is that this is GOOD! Dolly's voice is strong enough to carry a hard techno beat, yet still remain sweet and soulful. A crossover success, definitely. All you dance mavens out there, get this one before it goes out of print!

this song shoes alot of dolly,s talent .the treasures cd is one of my fa

She is awesome!! Don't under-estimate what Dolly can do. She does it all, and well!! Gospel, bluegrass, pop, country, dance, disco, and anything else you could imagine. Listen to it and just believe it!! This is one of the best release since 1990. Maybe her latest supurb release was the trio album??? I suggest this to anyone who loves Dolly or dance music. Her vocals are more than one could imagine on this recording. I would like to see her come out with an entire disc. Go Dolly!!!! However, she needs (for my sake) to continue doing pure country. Buy "Peace Train" today and check out her latest recording "Hungry Again"!!!!!!

I've been a follower of the words and wisdom of 'Dolly-ism' for the past 18 years and I've heard her preach with cornball country, rock, love and some dance songs. As a true follower, I believed she needed a modern dance song to spread the message and she got it with "Peace Train." If you're thinking, "Dolly Parton? She's country,... and old." don't worry about it. There are six very different versions on this CD and no country. The original, track #6, has an african inspired sound focusing mainly on the vocals. This song alone is great! As for the re-mix versions, tracks 1 and 3 seemed to have slowed down vocals, but the music still works.Track #4 is a feel-good version with great sounds and a continuous flow of music. As for the 'Arena Anthem', well, they wanted to shock the world with this song,.. and they did! When I listen to it, I start off by visualizing it. I see a darkened road in the middle of nowhere and out of the darkness comes two alien abductors who's mission is to bring world peace. She is their first contact. As she stands there, filled with fear, the aliens begin to chant causing her to fall to the floor in a hypnotic trance. As they circle her body as part of the brainwashing experience, she begins to rise into the air chanting their message. The aliens begin to dance in victory to some of the most fierce music around. You feel it coming. You feel the drama. You feel the music! This song was on the Billboard dance charts in 1997 and ranked fairly high, so don't feel wierd buying it. Just don't tell your friends who it is. Let them figure it out when they go to the store and find it in the country section. It's definitely worth it.

Dolly has truly turned this classic by cat stevens into a hip dance track!
