Análisis (en inglés) - AMG :
After two terrific (if not classic) roots releases, 1999's The Grass is Blue, and 2001's Little Sparrow, Dolly Parton appeared to be running out of inspiration by the time the spotty Halos and Horns appeared in 2002. Though not necessarily bad, the album was rather unfocused, and most of the songs seemed to suggest that Parton was caught in a tear between making another roots record or another pop record. Of course, sometimes that kind of pop-country combination is just what she needs to get a good song going, and "I'm Gone" is one of the few examples on Halos and Horns to demonstrate that Dolly still knew how to find the line between good country and great pop. If you're looking for a classic Parton-penned mountain song, you won't find it, but if you like pop songs set to a banjo strum (i.e., if you like modern country music), "I'm Gone" is easily one of the most radio-ready songs that Dolly has recorded in years. There's no deep meaning to this song, it's simply a catchy up-tempo number about leaving a lousy husband, and all your joint possessions, for the sake of getting out of dodge. Even as she approaches 60, Dolly still knows how to put plenty of fun into her music when the inspiration's there, and "I'm Gone" is easily the most inspired and rewarding track on Halos and Horns. If modern country radio wasn't so exclusive, this song could easily become a huge comeback hit for Dolly -- it combines everything that ever made her a good pop and country star, and that's no small accomplishment. Though Halos and Horns is a rather mediocre affair all in all, "I'm Gone" proves to be not only the central motivation for picking up the album, but just one more reason to acknowledge that Dolly Parton's best days are not necessarily behind her. ~ Barry Weber, All Music Guide
