Binding: Audio CDEAN: 0805859009323 Label: Dolly Records Manufacturer: Dolly Records MPN: 93 Number Of Discs: 1 Publisher: Dolly Records Release Date: February 26, 2008 Studio: Dolly Records Editorial Review: Amazon.com: Parton's first mainstream album in 17 years appeals to all her fans without sounding insincere or compromising. The title track, a fiddle-and-piano colored two-beat that's a sympathetic bit of autobiography, belies her campy doll-like cover pose. The debut single "Better Get to Livin'" is a page from her own upbeat canon, and when she's downhearted in the steel-guitar weeper "The Lonesomes" and the cocktail lounge arrangement "Made of Stone," she draws on the influence of earlier country queens like Kitty Wells and Patsy Cline. Parton's vocal tones remain equally pure, distinctive, and captivating over grinding six-string power chords as she blasts out Fine Young Cannibal's "Drives Me Crazy." She's especially affecting on a faithful rendition of Smokey Robinson's "The Tracks of My Tears." The bottom line is that Parton's one of America's greatest enduring vocal stylists, whether she's revisiting her roots in bluegrass or making commercial hay. --Ted Drozdowski Average Rating:
 Rating: - Backwoods BarbieDolly Parton has done it again, she has made a masterpiece, This album is wonderful, it makes me yern for home! It is a brillant piece of work! Go Dolly! Rating:  - DisappointingI was very disappointed with this album...I was expecting a bit more of Dolly's original 1970's style of music/vocals, but this album was like 1990's pop/rock/country. The vocals were kind of weak, and it just wasn't as good as some of the older albums. Rating: - The Dolly RuleTo whit, "Never Assume That This is as Good as It Gets, No Matter How Good It Is." No kidding. Every couple of years, the woman puts out a new one, and I think, "Well, she'll never top this." And, then, a couple years later she does. Brilliant & beautiful & a decent human being to boot, Dolly is my girly glam heroine, and a reminder to keep on aiming just a little bit higher. Rating: - Sounds good to meI have a few of Dolly Parton's Cds from Greatest Hits to soundtracks of 9-5 and Straight Talk and of course the Christmas Cds. No matter what she sings her voice sounds flawless. This Cd only proves age has no boundaries in singing.. A great cd with a cool mix from a legendary songbird has a little of everything and then some Rating: - Dolly at her best!This album is truly one of the best albums that Dolly has ever done! Songs range from classic country of Backwoods Barbie, reminiscent of the Coat of Many Colors era, to the poppy remake of Drives Me Crazy. No matter what your favoite type of Dolly music is (she is her own genre!), you will find songs that you will love and cherish! Dolly wrote most of hte songs on the album and she is at her best songwriting and singing as well! It's a must have! |
