Disco de Dolly Parton: “Best of Dolly Parton [DJ Specialist]”

This excellent compilation includes a substantial number of Dolly's greatest hits and memorable album tracks, although it excludes the duets with Porter Wagoner, some of her lesser hits and her later bluegrass excursions. It demonstrates her versatility in its great variety of styles, from wonderful weepy ballads like We Used To and I Will Always Love You to uptempo tracks like Jolene, the hit from the movie 9 to 5 and her 1978 nod to disco, Baby I'm Burnin'. My favorites include the lovely Love Is Like A Butterfly and the classics made famous by others: Harper Valley P.T.A and D-I-V-O-R-CE, both of them great story songs. Parton has made such a spectacular contribution to country music that no Best Of can easily claim to contain her greatest work, but this album does a fair job of displaying her soulful voice and some of her timeless songs.

It's me again!

This album is terrific! I hadn't heard a few songs on this album,

and I buy any Dolly album even if it's only got one or two songs that I haven't got! My favourite is "Baby I'm Burnin'" because the lyrics are very strong. This is very original Dolly work.

Amongst the tracks are everyone's favourites; "Mama Say A Prayer"

"Jolene" "9 To 5" and "Do I Ever Cross Your Mind?"

Changing the subject,if you are thinking of buying "Little Sparrow," I think you are making a fab choice. Go buy it!

(You won't regret it, I PROMISE.)

This BEST OF DOLLY PARTON release from the U.K. is a wonderful collection but buy the BEST OF DOLLY PARTON from Belgium - it's got the very same 21 songs on it and it's four bucks cheaper!!
