Disco de Dolly Parton: “Heartsongs: Live from Home”

This is a live album of a concert Dolly performed at Dollywood in 1994. There's a great mixture of old hits, new material, and other songs. There's quite a few guests all over the concert including Alison Krauss, Rhonda Vincent, Darrin Vincent, Suzanne Cox, Altan, Carl Jackson, and more. She sings classics like "My Tennessee Mountain Home", "My Blue Tears", "Coat Of Many Colors", "Smoky Mountain Memories", "To Daddy", and more. There's some great songs like "I'm Thinking Tonight of My Blue Eyes", "Barbara Allen", "Night Train To Memphis", "Applejack", "Wayfaring Stranger", etc. "Heartsong" is a great new song, but the closing "PMS Blues" steals the show, it's hilarious! Dolly puts on a great show. It's very personal, as she shares stories about growing up and her family, talking to the audience between most songs. Overall a treat to listen to, and worth its place in any Dolly collection.

Yes, we are all shouting the praises of The Grass is Blue and Little sparrow. And yes, they are masterpieces, but one listen to this CD, and you'll see what truly set the pace. It's one of her best CD's ever.

This is the essential Dolly Parton cd.

This is a wonderful cd to have in your collection. It is a collection of songs Dolly performed live at her Tennessee Mountain Home in front of a live audience, and it was recorded for this cd, titled Heartsongs: Live From Home. Every song is sang marvelously. She puts so much emotion into every note. The album consists pretty much mostly of her early material, with songs like My Blue Tears, Applejack, To Daddy, My Tennessee Mountain Home, as well as many cover songs and standards. A highlight is the closing song, PMS Blues. Great song! This is a must have for Dolly fans, you wont regret this purchase.
