Coat Of Many Colors

It's got a soft, comfortable sound to it... listen to a song or two and it's pretty nice, though the full album may get a little narrow in its vision. It's still pretty, though

It's fine, I can see why she's so popular.

She's a legend, but this is not my favorite Dolly album.

Like it 3/5

Coat of Many Colours note: biased as this was presented to me the day after she passed.

She died yesterday, and the next album generated is one of hers. R.I.P. Dolly Parton. We lost another legend with you. ✊💔 Okay, turns out this was probably on purpose; well, I'm not surprised, tho it still can break someone's heart. Anyway, after listening through this album while riding a virtual steam locomotive between Warwick and Wallangarra in Australia, I must say I really wanted to like it. I did like most of it, but unfortunately the best I can give is a 3.5/5

this one i'm pretty blind on. i know (and love) Jolene because everybody knows Jolene, and i've heard the memes about 9 to 5, and think she's a cool person, and that's it. my hunch is that i'm not going to be all that into this, but i'm interested to see i really like the title track She Never Met A Man (She Didn't Like) is speaking to me a bit the rest of this i can kind of take or leave; it's the kind of thing where i think this is objectively good and can appreciate it, but it's not really my thing and i wouldn't go out of my way to listen. she has a really lovely voice. i think i'm just not really a country fan. i'm choosing to do these numerical ratings non-objectively holy shit she just passed away. weird timing. RIP

Received this album to review the day after her passing. It was a nice album and the only album of Dolly Parton's I have ever listened to. Classic southern strife with songs about poverty, dubious men, and family tensions but also those about reconciliation and coming to terms with who you are and the cards you were given. RIP Dolly Parton

Un dia despues de su fallecimiento. El primer tema es un alivio despues del desastre que fue escuchar el album anterior. Linda voz, linda melodia y armonia. Bueno con el segundo tema confirmo que no toda la musica del listado va a ser una poronga yankee. No te vuela la cabeza pero se deja escuchar bastante. Aprobado. todo muy lindo.

Not a huge country fan. Reasonable tunes though.

So before I talk about the album, RIP to this legend. When I saw this was my album for the day, I honestly couldn’t believe it because of the coincidence; it’s got me questioning whether this is really random or if the moderators manipulate the shuffle to commemorate artists occasionally. Despite all of that, this was a pleasant ride. Definitely not my music; it’s very diatonic and safe, hence my use of the word ‘pleasant’. There’s nothing wrong whatsoever with the tunes but nothing overwhelmingly right either (for me). I did enjoy the personal lyricism of the album, though, and actually quite enjoyed the first half. By the second half I felt I’d got what I needed from the album and was ready for it to finish. Sad to have lost a legend either way, RIP Dolly 🥲

Ich bin eben kein Fan von Dolly Parton

I like her voice and the melodies throughout the record.

Me gustó

Not a fan of country but RIP Dolly. The first song cost of arms was quite good and I enjoyed the storytelling. However, the rest of the album sounds similar

Not a country fan…

Dolly was a true great, but I’ve never been able to get into anything other than her few popular songs. This album is no exception.

Enjoyed

Perfectly pleasant and as far as country albums go, most enjoyable. RIP Dolly, you were a force of nature. 3/5.

Country music isn't really my thing, though there were some sweet songs on here; there's nothing I'd care enough to revisit. Rest in peace, Dolly :))

I honestly didn't even have time to listen to this one i just needed to write how insane it is that i got this album the day after she passed away, crazy.

RIP Dolly Parton Fun little record, with a great title track and some other interesting songs. 7/10

I got this on the day Dolly passed away. Heard Dolly songs but never a full album. This was good country music.

Bra melodier, country, kort skiva. Dolly dog igår 20260825. 3,5 av 5.

I can't say anything bad about dolly parton ✌️

(7.5)

Did I get this because she just died?

First listen. RIP Dolly. (Maybe not a coincidence that this came up the day after she died.) What a wonderful voice.

3/5

Country, meio folk. Mas legalzinho

inimitable voice - rip

I was listen to this recommend while surfing social media and saw her death announcement. Not a fan of country and also not know her before but I love her voice in each tracks. RIP

I like Dolly, but not really my cup of team regardless of her wonderful voice

My wife and her family are from Tennessee, and over the years I’ve learned just how much love everyone in that state has for Dolly Parton. She has meant so much to so many people and has been an undeniable force for good in the world. Her voice is immediately recognizable and there’s a sweetness to her music that not a lot of country artists can pull off. Rest in peace.

Honestly, I was worried this was about to force me to complain about a very beloved woman who just tragically died, but I actually really enjoyed this! Her vocals are so beautiful and it's very enjoyable, well produced, well written music, and it doesn't drag whatsoever! I have always had trouble with country and some more traditional singer-songwriter and folk-y stuff, but I think my main problem is that I simply just don't like the traditional male country/folk vocal style. Definitely going to try more of her albums and some of her contemporaries' music too at some point. I'm glad I heard this before I died, and rest in piece Dolly.

Yesterday Dolly Parton died and today’s album is Coat of many Colors. Is this the universe speaking?

This was an ok album funny that I got this album on the day she passed , I have never been a huge fan of country but recognise most genre have stuff I don't mind even if it's not my fav genre this was just a solid album she is great singer even though I do find her voice a little off putting and I enjoyed the country sounding instrumentation which didn't sound too country overall a perfectly fine album

DOLLY! Not my kind of music, but much respect!

Good 3 star album, absolute 5 star person by all accounts. RIP.

전체적으로 평범한 느낌의 앨범 이었다. Overall, it was an album that felt ordinary.

rip diva <3

Whether by coincidence or design this was selected the day after she died, so a very poignant listen. It was pretty good without being amazing, and would feel wrong to slate it in any form anyway!

The timing of this album out of 1001 is uncanny. We miss you dolly.

A lot of people list Dolly Parton as an icon, beyond reproach. She has influenced three generations of people. Smart as a whip business woman.I can't say I disagree with those who say that, however I haven't ever been enamored with Dolly. The album is on the good side - some great melodies, sung in a storytelling way that is accessible to all. Overall I enjoyed my time with the album but it won't ever make its way into my rotation.

Es buena pero no es de mis favoritos del country

3/5

beautiful

well played. RIP

This was better than I was expecting. Still don't like country though. RIP Dolly.

Enjoyed this more than Trio and I'm not a heartless monster, so it's getting a 3. Maybe because this was from the 70s whereas Trio was from the 80s it just appealed to me more? It's something about the instruments just sounding better...

RIP Queen. Thank you for the great music

For a few minutes i deadass thought it was a coincidence i receive this album the day after Dolly’s passing but apparently it’s the same for everyone. I gotta say listening to her songs now feels much more depressing. She had a lovely voice and timeless hits, but most of all she was a good soul and for that reason i believe her death is truly a big loss for the world. Now i can’t give this album more than a 3 since i really dislike country music, but Dolly’s stuff is probably the best of the genre.

Yeah it’s a nice pleasant album, not my style of music but ok to have on in the background

08/26 Absolutely crazy that this gets chosen as my album of the day, the day after she died. The music isnt my kind of genre but I appreciate it for what it is and the impact she had. RIP Dolly Parton

A good listen.

The algorithm shows its human side selecting this the day after Dolly’s death. On too many albums I’ve had to ignore the artists behaviour, for once I can wholeheartedly praise the actions of the artist. She genuinely was one of the good ones. The album….. well it’s not really for me. It’s well crafted, her voice is powerful and adds the edge to already emotionally charged songs and the openers of the title track and the funky travelling man are both great. However, it’s the end of 70’s country that I find a bit samey

Wszystko co mówilam o country nie dotyczy tej płyty i tej Pani. Bardzo, bardzo wielka szkoda, że się zebrała z tego świata. A płyta cudna, taka radosna.

good enough but a bit too country

Was really surprised by how much I liked this. As a kid Dolly was everywhere but made out to be more of a sex symbol than an artist. The only song I knew of hers was 9 to 5.

Tiens, j'ai un album de Dolly Parton le lendemain de sa mort ? Est-ce que c'est un hasard ou est-ce que la personne qui gère ce site peut manipuler le choix des albums pour en faire apparaître certains en priorité ? En tout cas, Dolly Parton est une artiste que je connais surtout de réputation et c'était évident qu'il y aurait un ou plusieurs de ses albums dans la liste. Je ne suis pas très country, donc ça ne risquais pas de me parler plus que ça. Ce qui m'a tout de suite marqué, c'est que Dolly Parton a pas du tout la voix à laquelle je m'attendais pour une chanteuse de country. Je m'attendais à une voix assez grave, potentiellement un peu rocailleuse, mais pas du tout. Elle a une voix très douce et j'étais même un peu surpris d'apprendre qu'elle avait 25 an l'année où est sorti cet album, tant elle sonne très très jeune. En tout cas, je comprends son statut iconique. Son chant est passionné et participe beaucoup au charme de l'album, elle vit chacune de ses chansons et ça rend l'album tout simplement captivant. Tout ça pour dire que c'est un album tout à fait plaisant, en plus de sa voix, ses textes sont généralement emplis d'une certaine nostalgie, voire d'une certaine mélancolie. Musicalement, c'est assez homogène, mais suffisamment varié pour que chaque chanson se détache (ce qui est loin d'être aussi évident pour le genre, d'après ce que j'en sais). J'ai pas d'histoire particulière avec Dolly Parton, donc sa mort ne me touche pas particulièrement, mais il faut admettre que la faucheuse a tendance à emporter des gens qu'on aimerait garder un peu plus longtemps, tandis que ceux qui s'évertuent à rendre le monde chaque jour un peu plus pourri persistent.

The stories are great. I'm not really into the style, but big fan of what's being said.

70

Thank you, albums generator, for I would not have willingly gone into a Dolly Parton deep dive or given any of her albums a listen, despite my respect for her and my appreciation for her life, as we've found out about her recent passing. This isn't my first time experiencing her on here, but it's my favorite so far, though I suppose that doesn't mean much. The first two tracks are the stars for me, a very strong entrance with the title track, apparently her personal favorite, and the most rock and roll country I've heard on a country album on this generator so far. It's a slight downhill ride from there, but it's quick and to the point and a very easy repeat listen. Still not strong enough for me to press play outside of this daily exercise, but respect for the singer-songwriter as we celebrate her life. The lyrics on that title track are beautiful, I can relate to being a child and not knowing the gravity of my family's financial situation, or that my handmade goods were a sign of economic inequality. I look forward to hearing more later on, but I'm in no rush. R.I.P. Dolly. 2.7/5

Well, she dead. An artist I am ware but haven't listened to much. 27 mins is a massive plus, Travelling man is great! The songs she didn't write are the weaker ones. Very pleasant but not exactly for me. 3.5 rounded down Heard before? No Owned: yes, 105/397 (26%) Will I get: Probably not

RIP

404/1089 oof, this one hurts to see :( she has such a lovely presence on her music. It’s not music that i’ll listen to much/come back to but it’s easy listening and her voice is enough to carry it imo faves: Early Morning Breeze, Here I Am 54/100

getting this rec on this specific day is actually crazy work it has a little kick ti it though

#427 You have to respect Dolly, the life she led and the music she made. It’s not my thing but I quite enjoyed listening today, there’s a simplicity and a positivity about it, at least by the end. RIP Dolly Heard before? ❌ Would I revisit? ❌ Listen before you die? ✅ Fave track(s): Early Morning Breeze; Here I Am Rating: 5/10 ⭐️⭐️⭐️

Before Dolly went fully commercial and not so interesting this is a very introspective album. Like a country version of blue by Joni Mitchell but nowhere near that level. Still this has the brilliant coat of many colours which elevates this collection somewhat

I am not a fan of country music, but I'm tolerating this out of respect for Dolly's passion, and all of the entertainment & smiles that she brought to so many. ★★★

Cover invokes this weird sweetsour taste on the roof of your mouth. 3/5

Impossible not to like Dolly. RIP, queen.

RIP

Thank you for the music, gal <3

First of all, rest in peace, second of all, I'm incredibly surprised how much I like this. For the sake of being respectful, I want to try to write the review in the most positive manner I can, so I'll start saying that her voice was truly wonderful, and probably the one I like the most when it comes to the country genre, as it is full of passion, delicacy and it even has its humorous moments. When it comes to the album, there is a lot of great material in here. I absolutely loved the two songs from the start: "Coat of Many Colors" is a very wonderful song with a great amount of sentimentalism and emotional value, and "Traveling Man" it is very high spirited, the bass sounds fantastic and the twist in the history she narrates makes me laugh every time. The following four songs I think are just alright and very standard country songs, so I'll skip to "Early Morning Breeze", a beautiful song with another fantastic bass line, a playful and wonderful guitar and some nice drumming in the choruses that lifts the spirit. Next is "The Way I See You" with a wonderful piano, making it another very beautiful song, and then there is "Here I Am", that has a higher energy while keeping the piano and adding some bass, and very passionate voices. Finally, "A Better Place to Live" ends the album with a great enthusiasm and a very heartfelt message about spreading love and wishing for the earth to reach world peace. So, this is not an standard country album, having its considerable amount of variety and some really memorable performances from both voices and instruments. I would give this I way higher score if it wasn't because "My Blue Tears", "If I Lose My Mind", "The Mystery of the Mystery" and "She Never Met a Man (She Didn't Like)" are a bit bland in comparison.

not a country gal in the slightest (as evidenced by a bunch of my ratings here), but i couldn’t help but shed a few tears upon hearing dolly’s sweet voice float through my headphones and swaddle me like i’m something precious. rip dolly 💖

RIP ❤️

6 - not my favorite of Dollys music, but still good. RIP

pas fan de country

not as good as Joni Mitchell’s Blue

i don't like country

This feels way less strong than Jolene to me, just much samier song choices and arrangements.....

No es mi genero pero me gusta mucho su voz. Es muy particular y agradable.

This was my album for the day after we lost Dolly, rest in peace. I've never really been a fan of her music, but I do recognise that she was a hell of a song writer as well as a decent singer. But more than that she was an absolute angel of a person the world is worse off without her in it. If I was rating her she would get all the stars, but based on how much I actually liked the album, its a 3/5 don't hate it, but don't particularly care for it either. God bless you Mrs Parton you will be sorely missed.

R.I.P Dolly, thanks for the country that I actually tolerate Fave track: Coat of Many Colors

Damn – R.I.P Dolly. What a legend. 3/5

pleasant and honest country. RIP. 3.5

Solid country album before country became pop

I beg your Parton but for me to find a country album enjoyable the songwriting and singing have to be exceptional. This album doesn't quite reach that bar.

oh dolly. this is objectively a good album, it’s just not something i would sit down to listen to on a regular basis.

I listened to this, but it didn't do much for me. It was all fine, not my style, nothing offensive, nothing stand out excellent. As a first album it seems alright, not sure it felt good enough for her to "breakout" and go on to what she achieved... But I'm bloody glad she did. So thank you to everyone who isn't me and loved dolly's music, cos that made her rich and famous and allowed her to do all the great things she did for so many people. Just a shame I don't like the music.

há algo na música country que dá a sensação de que se está no abraço apertado de uma mãe, mas still algo que não consigo passar das 4 músicas

RIP Dolly. Unfortunately, this wasn’t one I will probably return to. The music was not that exciting for me. Her lyrics and story telling are very beautiful despite that. Still somewhat lack luster compared to her other albums

Killer bass guitar, multiple odd Time signature changes, key changes, and an iconic voice belting soulful lyrics. Of course I’m talking about Dolly Parton’s Coat Of Many Colors. 7/10

I understand more now why she is missed by many. Maybe the strongest feature of the album is her beatiful voice, easily recognisable, and makes this album worth a listen.

Pretty good

Ну лан, вроде весело. Сначала не мог отметить для себя ничего особо стоящего, но общий фон альбома вывез. Топ-1 - Early Morning Breeze Топ-2 - Coat of Many Colors

Dolly Parton passed away the day before I got this album, she’s an absolute icon 🕊️

Voor eventjes wel leuk, maar met mate

Got this album the day after she passed away. Given the amount of ratings from today, I think that was intentional? Country isn't one of my favourite genres (though I mostly blame modern country for that), this however I enjoyed quite a bit. Dolly was a great singer/ songwriter and her lyrics seem really genuine. May she rest in peace

5.5/10 = ok i know i was raving about country like 2 albums ago but this isn't my fav but i didnt hate it either, guitar was really good in this but i think i like her later stuff more and none really stuck out to me, good probably on purpose timing too

It's fine. She seemed like a good person and It's sad she died. But I still don't like country music.

A delightful album. Not something I see myself revisiting, but a joy to have listened to, particularly today. Rating: 3

RIP

Crazy timing on the dolly parton album

Dolly is a real one. RIP. I'm not a huge fan of the genre, though. Didn't mind listening to this album; it's fine. Title track is best one.

Q.E.P.D. Dolly Parton. Justo me tocó este disco el mismo día que falleció. Estuvo bien el disco.

erm

Wow she just died like abit but its not an add maybe her other albums will be will have to look

my fav artist that i dont listen to

5 stars for the person. Not my thing at all, having been dragged to many a country & western night in south Fife as a child. I can appreciate her great vocal but I have to pass on the music

Rest in peace

Fet ViF. Rätt basic country men ska ju tydligen varit betydelsefull för Dolly. Senare nådde hon ju högre höjder

A poignant moment to listen to an album for the first time. Her lyrics evoke sadness and optimism, delivered with the classic sound of country roots, western influence and simple harmonies.

Sitting in an airport lounge surrounded by tributes to Dolly who is quite rightly lauded as a musical legend and by all accounts a very decent human. But we can't let pathos get in the way of 1001 judging objectivity. It's still country. And it's still not really my bag. But it is beautiful in its own way. A slightly wistful 3*

3.5

Day 379 Fun album, short and sweet. Highlights Travelling man A better place to live

I love coat of many colours. And I love her. But the rest of the album kinda drags. RIP Queen.

This Dolly Parton record is a solid 3 for me, not my style but solid songwriting throughout

RIP legend 🫡 This was pleasant to listen to. Short and sweet also. She had such a classic voice.

Sweet! Standout: The Way I See You

Icon RIP.

This is the better dolly album out of the two, very sweet and good country. Rest in peace 🙏🙏

que deus a tenha. buffy só existiu pq ela botou fé e produziu, inclusive. mas eh isso aí né. countryzão CRU. seria 2 mas pela morte e comoção etc etc será um 3 hoje, viu.

I think this is the second time through this one of the artists has died and they’ve pushed the album up for us, a nice touch. Dolly’s a pretty captivating performer, hadn’t listened to much other than her hits but this one has some interesting songs, liked it a lot more than the Emmylou Harris album 3.3

If somebody put this on, I wouldn't mind it. But I'd rather listen to something else. Perhaps if I paid attention to the lyrics I'd like it more.

Dolly is a country music Legend and an Icon. She was a genuinely great singer and an even better human being, this world lost one of the greatest that has ever done it. This album is full of some good storytelling and some great vocals. Growing up my parents listened to country and I ended up listening to a lot of it as well despite my dislike for country music. Dolly has made a ton of music and has more hits than most artists. This album though is not a show stopper, it has a good feel and flow, but it is not the best Dolly has produced.

Seems like many get Dolly's albums here after her passing! Nothing bad about this album, her iconic voice really shins through, she was one of a kind. Good ol' country about heartache and scumbags. RIP Dolly

A really cool little happening, I got this album the day after Dolly died. Cool to remember her, and the album is really good!

RIP Dolly. Terrific musician and even better human being.

I don't know much about this genre because I'm from Argentina, but I like it. I'll listen more country music.

1971. Eight solo studio album. Parton has cited the title track on numerous occasions as her personal favorite of all the songs she has written.

RIP queen I only know 2 songs but u seemed kind

Gave this one a go after her unfortunate passing (I usually hit did not listen on country days) and while she does have a nice voice, this just confirms that country music doesn't do it for me. Traveling Man was the only track that really made my ears perk up, the rest of it just pleasantly went by in the background. RIP to a great human being.

2.8/5 Feels like a coincidence that I am given this album a day after she died. Lovely voice and while I'm not the biggest fan of country music, it was a nice album to listen too.

Beautiful, but country isn't my favorite

Klassikaline kantri elulähedase lüürikaga. Kuulamine läks libedalt, kuigi polnud väga palju lugusid, mis konkreetselt meelde oleks jäänud. Dolly vokaal on hea ja laulud pole ainult I-IV-V, vaid midagi põnevamat. 3.4/5

I know this will never be fully my style of music but for what it is it's very enjoyable and Dolly's got a very pleasant voice. RIP Dolly.

3 stars A fine enough album. A lot of country gets on my nerves or is hard to get through. This wasn’t that. But it also wasn’t a surprisingly enjoyable listen like some other country finds on here. I wouldn’t return to this but I wouldn’t be upset to listen again. And also very brief!

Loved it. Especially poignant with the outpouring of grief today

Really enjoyed the songs. This was the first time I've listened to a complete album of Dolly's and it struck me that she is like a female Elvis. The style, the stage presence, the work ethic, the commitment to the fans.

Impossible not to like

I like Dolly Parton. Her spirit and the way she lived her life with positivity and creativity set a great example to everyone. I love Islands in the Stream and Jolene. This country album is fine.

Coincidence!?!?! Who doesn't know Dolly Parton? Good songs. Good album. May she rest in peace.

Got this album a day after she died. I've never been a fan of country music, but she always had my respect as a composer, singer, and above all as a person. Definitely belongs in this list. 6/10

Dolly may not have originated it, but she lived by the classic country music practice of writing one hit song, putting it as track one, making it the name of your album, and filling up the rest of both sides of the album with C+ to B-grade songs. No need to waste two hits on one album. Although “Here I Am” was my favorite song on Coat of Many Colors and I had not heard it before, so I’m glad to have listened to this. I’m rating this album a 3 out of 5 but I rate Dolly as a person as high as any scale involved will allow. What an amazing example of kindness, wit, talent, charm, charisma, smarts, loyalty to your people - and Dolly’s people were the poor and disadvantaged of every race, color, nationality, gender, orientation and creed and maybe just humanity as a whole - and true goodness. We should all try to live in such a way that would make us worthy of having shared this world with Dolly. In her eyes, all of us were.

8/26/26. Rest in peace, Dolly Parton. Really inviting voice and songs, makes country music approachable and welcoming.

I got this album the day after Dolly died. This isn’t my taste in music, but she always seemed like a very good and likable person. Her book program for kids is fantastic.

I've never been much of a fan of Dolly's music, though I am a big fan of the human that was Dolly (got this album the day after she passed). The album was mostly ok, but nothing spectacular.

Rip

very heartfelt and beautiful, i just missed a bit of a punch

rip another beautiful soul

Not a huge fan of this one. I did enjoy the first two tracks, but I tuned out after that. She died yesterday. Great voice, just not a fan of country generally.

Country, not my jam 6/10

May you rest in peace Dolly. I liked this album but i don't think country music is for me. It was enjoyable though.

Her voice is so iconic and I like the country vibe, but the first few songs are to similar for my liking. Adding to that, I don’t really like the themes of a few songs so I wouldn’t listen to them again. Still pretty cool, maybe not the right album of hers.

Lovely storyteller

Muito acolhedor.

So beautiful but sad but love dolly

Great, a great shot of her impressive vocals

good to listen to

One my favorite songs of hers opens this album and the first side of this album is solid country. Just feels like it looses itself in the second half with not as many strong numbers. This is more of a me problem because I don’t really love albums that are disjointed singles compiled together which a lot of early country and rock albums had this issue. Would go back and listen again though

Is it a coincidence that this pops up the day after she died? Either way, it's cool to hear it. I find straight-ahead country music annoyingly saccharin and obvious. Unless I'm into the story... In which I love it. This album has about half and half. Sorry Dolly.

kkona af

Oh Dolly, sad to see you go. Starting to enjoy Country music and looking forward to discover more classics

En oo mikään suurin countryn kuluttaja mutta tää dollyn albumi on jossain 3-4 tähden hujakoilla. RIP DOLLY🕊️

Upea kansikuva! Dolly kuoli eilen ja tänään tämä levy ilmeisesti syötettiin kaikille joilta se vielä kuulematta. Kiva juttu. Kaunis ääni, biisit ihan leppoisia.

A deeply spiritual and heartfelt collection Dolly was a brilliant song writer

RIP Dolly

idk if this was by design but dolly actually passed yesterday. i've never listened to a dolly album because country isn't really my thing but im thrilled to have this selection. ended up adding a song to the playlist

Pleasant listen. Great voice. RIP.

Dolly on the day after she passes. Fitting. Not a country guy though, so we'll see how this goes... I don't know the title track, which probably means I won't know anything from this record. It's very sweet lyrically, and wow Dolly had a hell of a voice. A few songs in and maybe I don't hate country music as much as I thought I did, maybe it's just modern country that doesn't hold any appeal to me. This won't be a daily driver, but if THIS was the country music I heard growing up in b-f-nowhere, I might have taken a liking to it. Doesn't hurt that Dolly was a good person too. RIP.

rip but this one was just good, not great

Descansa en paz, Dolly :( Por lo demás, disco disfrutón de una mujer que fue referente en muchas cosas dentro de un país tan misógino como los EE.UU en los que nació. El country no es un género que yo disfrute especialmente, pero este disco me ha permitido comerme mis palabras durante el rato que lo he escuchado gracias a la voz de Dolly. Canciones favoritas: Traveling Man, The Way I See You

Country er country. Flink til å synge.

Short and sweet. Much like Dolly herself. R.I.P to a legend.

It's a light and breezy country album, with fun song topics, gentle guitar arpeggios, some neat bass riffs, some moments of upbeat rushes and slow burners. It's America at it's core, unrelentingly classy and at the same time a bit rustic and down to earth. It's not the show stopping Dolly Parton, but the country girl that sings about experiences and her own truths. While some songs on here are very simple, the standouts do stick in your head after you've finished this 30 minute album. I think if I had to be honest, for me it's around a 3/5. I am not a country lover, but I can recognize the impact and influence that this album has had on country music. I have to judge the art alone. Maybe for it's time it was groundbreaking and you had to be there. I like that the site recommended this to everyone today, a day after her passing. I think it's a sweet way to memorialize someone. RIP

1. 5 2. 4.5 3. 4 4. 3.5 5. 3 1. 4 2. 3.5 3. 3.5 4. 4 5. 3.5

omg me salio este album el dia que fallecio :( lo voy a tomar como una señal

I am going to be honest here. I do not deny that Dolly was a great person and beloved by many nor do I deny her talent and what she did for women in music but her music is just not my personal cup of tea.

I got this album the day after Dolly Parton passed away, which presumably is someone's thumb on a scale as a memorial. I think Dolly seems like a wonderful person, but this album was only okay to me, I'm afraid to say. It's perfectly pleasant but nothing in particular is jumping out here.

A great person, but singing in a genre I usually avoid. And this album is quite listenable for being country.

Not my fave Dolly album but was bittersweet listening to it the day after she passed. RIP a true legend

Great voice, smart lyrics and wonderful melodies. Really good album.

If I had to listen to country, this wouldn’t be a bad choice. There’s something captivating about Dolly’s voice, and the way she tells her story through the lyrics.

The titular song was amazing. Morning breeze was pretty good too. The rest were okay.

this week has been just, brutal. Dolly Parton, Tim Curry, Yayoi Kusama, Peter Cullen... i fear what friday will bring. but Dolly's legacy is much more colorful (no pun intended) than just her fame. the title track has some of the best singing in any country song. it's not all that consistent, but the highs make it worth my while. deserves to be one of the 1001? i think Jolene would be a better pick, but if you don't put at least one Dolly Parton album on ur list something has gone horribly wrong. tldr: yes

Classic Dolly.

Surprising ok. Not my usual taste but a great voice

RIP Dolly Parton. I was suggested this album the day after she died... Spooky. Good album! But not amazing. It's nice and short, so that's a plus. The lyrics are thoughtful and the performances are very high quality. The variety is obviously not very high between songs, but they're all enjoyable enough. I wasn't bored, and I saved a few songs to listen again. Overall I would recommend, because it's short, enjoyable, and high quality. But I don't think I'll be going out of my way to listen to it again.

Strange that it should be today's album, had to give it a listen on my commute. It was ok, she has a distinctive voice, but I'm not really into country and western.

Queen shit

So good!! Bassist is going off

RIP Dolly. She was clearly a great song writer and a great human being. Unfortunately I do not really care for her vocal stylings and am fairly ambivalent on this style of country music.

Very apt to receive the day after she dies. RIP Dolly.

Pretty good show from Dolly. She obviously has the songwriting and vocal chops to put out one hell of a performance. Still three stars though as I can't get my blinders off on not having much of a palate for this style of country. Fav tracks: Early Morning Breeze, Here I Am

Dolly, what an icon. Much loved and lived long enough to see country become truly mainstream in a way it certainly hadn’t been during my lifetime. The album itself, short and sweet much like the lady. Some of it is aggressively country, sort of to be expected, but the more genre hopping pop style tracks reflecting it as an early 1970s album work well and found them more enjoyable. There’s an interesting production element to this album that makes it seem far older, that and the pure 50s country elements. Overall it’s not really my music but it’s alright and gives you that warm fuzzy feeling. A Better Place To Live felt a fitting final track to the album to come up the week she passes away.

It really is very difficult to dislike Dolly Parton. She represents a version of America that I'm not sure ever existed but is a worthy ideal. This album also has some surprising themes that venture beyond saccharin tropes. Great voice, great life well lived. I'm not a fan of country music though.

pretty music, not my thing.

Title track is awesome

Don't know too much Dolly besides the main hits. I'm not a huge country fan, but I do love old country like this, Johnny Cash, Willie Nelson, etc. The guitar is great, so is the bass, and the lyrics. Overall, I really enjoyed it for a country album. It was a little slow in some parts though. I'd probably do 3/5, because I know she has better stuff. Favorite Tracks: Coat of Many Colors, Traveling Man, My Blue Tears, Early Morning Breeze Least Favorite Tracks:

Muy buen álbum para viajar por EEUU en coche. La voz de Dolly es maravillosamente frágil y consciente de su calidad a la vez. No es mi género pero este álbum merece ser escuchado en su propio apartado sentimental. RIP dolly parton.

I love Dolly for her showmanship, and I love old country for it's grittiness. This leans more to the gritty side but it doesn't hit for me as much as other old country does. Still good in it's own right though

A bit boring after the first song, very repetitive

RIP

A legend but not my type. Perfectly fine.

Getting a Dolly Parton album on the day she passes away isn't a coincidence, right? It pains me to say though, because she just passed away, that her music isn't up my alley. It's definetely not bad, absolutely not, but I don't resonate with it much either. I don't feel the things I want to feel. She was an icon though, and one of the most respected female musicians ever. So if we're honest, my opinion really does not matter. Rest in peace, Dolly Parton.

RIP to the queen of country. I'm working on the Dolly Parton Children's Hospital, and she was supposed to cut the ribbon for the grand opening yesterday. That definitely did not happen. But listening to her music made me feel empowered to do good work for this woman.

May the source of strength Who blessed the ones before us Help us find the courage to make our lives a blessing And let us say Amen

Picked up as it went on, but not for me! RIP Dolly Parton - absolute philosopher.

Dollyn ääni on kovin maaginen. <3 Siltikään tämä ei taida olla suosikkeja albumien joukossa, vaikkei tämä huonokaan ole! Yritän nyt olla antamatta sellaisia suru-tähtiä, jota Dolly ei ansaitse.

En varmaan saa kirjottaa rehellisesti kun muuten oon heitteri. Ei mun juttu. En tykkää kantrista, jeesuksesta. Maailmanrauhakin on alkanu vähän tökkimään. Mutta taatut Dolly-pisteet.

RIP Dolly - some great songs and some okay filler

Solid

A nice voice, some good songs but still a genre that get long quite quickly. It's better than the Trio album nevertheless. Favorite songs: Coat of Many Colors ; Travelling Man ; Here I Am

I liked the stories and the songs were musically appealing. RIP

Rest easy GOAT

She could have been a billionaire, but good people don't become billionaires. I am still not a country fan.

Respect it, but not for me. The Way I See You was my fave.

Bei Dolly Parton vergesse ich immer dass sie tatsächlich aus rural Tennessee kommt - ihre Stimme ist so perfekt trainiert und ihr Akzent klingt irgendwie immer aufgesetzt. Die Songs sind recht gut, zumindest die A Seite ist stark, auch wenn Mama für einiges herhalten muss. Am Ende einige Filler.

Dolly Parton, god rest her soul, was a beautiful human being, whose kindness we desperately needed. I have nothing but respect and kind words to say about her. Her music may not be for me, but I did feel her message of kindness did truly jump out throughout this album.

RIP Dolly you will be missed

6/10 album by a 10/10 woman

rip dolly

Quelques sons sympas mais pas ma came, c'est une bonne musique d'ambiance malgré tout et elle a une très belle voix

Enjoyable although not my usual music. Dolly has a great voice. Top tracks: "Traveling Man," "A Better Place to Live"

I’ll be a little generous on this album today. Dolly Parton and Tim Curry have both sadly passed away today, and while I don’t enjoy her particularly much as a singer, she seemed like a sweetheart of a human being in real life. I’ll be giving this one a 3 today, but in reality if she was still with us, in all honesty it would be given a 1. Again, I’ll make an exception today though because knowing she just passed made this a bit easier to enjoy. Coat Of Many Colors is the first of 2 Dolly Parton albums I’ve rolled for this project, and “Coat Of Many Colors” is also my favorite song on the album of the same name. Do I love any of these songs?? No, no I do not. Would I return to this album?? Also no. But it was very cool of the site owner to have this on my feed today, as I knew he would. Unless I’m missing someone, he’s know done this for The Beach Boys and Black Sabbath as well during my time on the website. And all of them earned the day of remembrance for sure. The biggest compliment I can give this album is that it’s only 27 minutes long. Even though I’m not in love with it, it’s over very quickly and suddenly I’m back at the top of the album. I love how short and sweet this album was. It knew exactly when to end before overstaying its welcome, and I listened to this more times than I realistically expected to. Yeah, it’s Country. Not a fan of Country, but today I’m going to make an exception for the late, great Dolly Parton. This album didn’t have the same generic and annoying Honky Tonk theming and irritating drawl that most of the others seem to have. Yes, she sure as hell sounded like a Country Singer, but it genuinely doesn’t bother me as much as the rest of the bunch. Is Dolly Parton the female Johnny Cash?? Not sure, I know nothing about Country, but I can actually tolerate listening to this. As far as Country albums go, it’s a 5. As far as personal enjoyment, it’s a very high 2, rounded up to a 3 today. RIP Dolly Parton, you seemed like a really really cool individual that anyone would want to hang out with.

2.5

The strong country influence isn't for me, especially without more interesting steel guitars and fiddles which are my favorite part of country music. However, the music is unoffensive and sweet, so it's easy to support.

Average wholesome country fayre. I’m not a fan of her voice - compared to say Loretta Lynn rated a couple of weeks ago - it’s a bit warbly and almost shrill at times. Traveller man a bit sneaky to run off with her mum. Going to round up to 3 on the basis you shouldn’t speak ill of the dead.

Early morning breeze good, not keen on anything that mentions the bible too much. She seemed a good sort though rip

Liked it most when it occasionally veered towards Bobbie Gentry territory

I refused to join the bandwagon with an immediate assessment which could be clouded by sentimentalism. I don’t like how they regularly do this as it clearly can lead to positive bias. That said I’d have probably rated it 3 stars regardless. 27 minutes of Dolly? Perfect duration.

❤️‍🩹

I don't think this is where Dolly shines, but it's where she sets up the wiring and plugs in the lamps.

Bless her soul…

Short and sweet.

echt nett, sehr ruhiger country

Good traditional Country music, but I am not a big fan of Dolly's voice. 3 stars or C+.

3.5 - it’s Dolly!!!

It was a good album, probably wouldn't listen again so rate it 3/5.

Listened before?: nope Coat of Many Colors - 5/5 Traveling Man - 4/5 My Blue Tears - 4/5 If I Lose My Mind - 3/5 The Mystery of the Mystery - 3/5 She Never Met a Man (She Didn't Like) - 3/5 Early Morning Breeze - 4/5 The Way I See You - 4/5 Here I Am - 4/5 A Better Place to Live - 3/5 Average score: 3.7/5 ⭐️⭐️⭐️ when i talk about not liking country music all that much, Dolly Parton isn't a part of the equation. however, as much as i like Dolly, i can't overlook the fact that most of these tracks sounded very samey the stories she tells through her singing and songwriting are unique and entertaining at least, i just wish the same old chord progressions were switched up a little. i've only heard 2 of her albums so far but I've had just about the same criticisms on the other album as well

It's good. I'm not really into country but this is enjoyable enough from start to finish.

pas ma shit

She’s an icon and seems to be a wonderful human being, but this is soooo traditional country that it feels like it could have come from an AI system collating all the country tropes. It’s not something I would probably reach for again, but if ever anyone asks me for a genre-defining country album, I know where to point them.

The salesman one was a twist Pretty dated, def oldies but not my vibe

Dolly's songwriting and voice steal the show on this cozy album full of solid highs and forgettable lows.

the songs just don't stick too much for me, but i'd listen to Dolly sing anything!

Its Dolly

Track 1: Dolly's mom tries her best for her child Track 2: Mom cucks Dolly Track 4: Dolly is getting consoled by mom because she got cucked again Insane plot. Her singing is great, but most everything else is mid

Great story telling! Gives her roots and has a very good beat and sound.

let's go dolly

She is so lovely and this album really speaks to that. Musically lyrically not for me

Nice

For a country album, I liked it more than most of the others. With that said, the album lacked variety and bored me early on. It was tolerable, but I think that's where my compliments end.

All songs are good. The album doesn't overstay its welcome. It's not the most interesting album of all time, but it's good.

Not really what I was hoping for, didn’t hate it but I definitely went in expecting more 2.5

Anfangs echt coo. Kann man gut laufen lassen, aber nutzt sich schnell ab.

Dolly <3 This starts off SO strong, the first four tracks and especially “Coat of Many Colors” and “Traveling Man” back to back are all bangers. Starts to fall off a little after that, sorry I’m a cynical a-hole but closing out on “Here I Am” and “A Better Place to Live” had me sighing and rolling my eyes. Dolly is a better more sincere person than me, I’m sorry queen. Second act montage needle drop in my biopic: “The Way I See You”

This album brought me deep understanding of an old friend—whom at 25 years old—would never remove his grease stained DOLLYWOOD sweatshirt. I’m going to give him a call.

I liked it, it was lowkey fire. I'm not a big country fan, but Dolly Parton is always good.

Aww she’s just a baby. Not my favorite Dolly but it’s alright

Love Dolly, her music a little less, but I actually somewhat enjoyed it

la verdad es un buen disco. se disfruta, un poco me lleva a fleetwood mac

I don't love the genre, and it's tough for me to judge how much originality there is in the music looking back, because to me it sounds fairly standard and cookie cutter (with some genuine creative surprises towards the end of the album), but it's undeniably enjoyable and well performed, and I find the lyrics to be very well crafted: interesting and accessible. She's not my artist but I can recognize that she definitely knows what she's doing.

Ret lækkert og en positiv overraskelse - stor 3'er

Actually vraiment pas si pire

Love the lady.

Solid classic country

Good.

Jeg syns det er fint og musikken er chill, men jeg forstår ikke helt hvorfor denne og Trio er med i lista og ikke Jolene. Jeg mener Jolene har masse bra materiale, mens Coat er spredd litt tynnere utover. Regner med hele løsrivelsen fra det å være kjent som duettpartneren til Portner Wagoner hadde noe å si for at Coat er med, men ja.

Standard Dolly! A nice listen, but not ground-breaking.

Fun stuff, enjoyed it a fair bit. Dolly is cool.

Album has some nice songs, but it's not really my thing

Well, the first song made me cry and I had to turn it off. I ended up quite liking the rest when I came back to it. I’ve never listened to her albums, so it was nice to finally hear one.

Fun lil diddy from the queen Dolly. Not much more to say beyond that but it's charming and interesting.

Great album! Great vocalist, guitar player and songwriter. Liked her more before she became a mega-star. Nothing wrong with that, though.

Siendo una persona que no le gusta el country, el disco me gustó ya llegando sobre el final, quizá porque me acostumbre a la voz de la cantante (que en principio me pareció insoportable) las canciones empezaron a sentirse dulces y melancolicas. 3 estrellas me parece coherente cuando empecé con la idea de solo darle 2 al sentir que estaba escuchando simple y básica música y yanki.

Sweet voice - a little too munchkin for me

Twangy, short album

Rogate ranczo vibes, plus za odblokowanie wspomnienia pani dolly troche beczy ale to jest jakby okej jestem za mało amerykańsko swojska żeby enjoyować takie ale miłe żeby leciało w tle

Classic Dolly

I don't have the best relationship with country and I'm not going to pretend that this has changed my mind in that respect, but at least Dolly has some personality which does shine though here and at least keep it interesting for it's short runtime. She's also taken some influences beyond country with Travelling Man (Dylan_ and Early Morning Breeze (Simon & Garfunkel) which elevate the album above more trad country affairs

love you dolly

had low expectations, but it was a good listen overall. had it for backgroud music and it was nice

Country. Qué decir. Está bien, no sé si lo escucharía en esta etapa de mi vida.

Is this the best Dolly Parton, No. It was good because it was Dolly Parton and she is a national treasure.

It’s fine. 3.5 down to 3

Review: This album was definitely a pleasant surprise. I thought there was no way I would enjoy a dolly parton album but here we are. It does not really have any sense or originality from track to track but that is not necessarily a bad thing. She knows what works for her and that's what she does. There were definitely some good songs on the album my favorite being Here I Am. The vocals did not miss once and her performance on every song is very well done. I cannot hate on it for being what it is supposed to be but it is just not for me as much as it is for some people.

not bad. dolly’s voice is nice. i think there are some unresolved mommy issues here bc why did she reference her mother so many times. 3/5

Back to back to back country. This is the best of the 3, but still doesn't stand out quite enough for a 4

Great singer, great instrumentation, amazing recording, just not my style of music. As they say there are 2 styles of music: Country and Western.

Solid dolly. Really nice. I wondered at first if I like pop style country more than I like the blues style country that is slightly more prevalent here, but it's all good. The 'never met a man she didn't like' song is musically excellent and it's such a shame the lyrics seem to be judgemental about a promiscuous woman (or sex worker, not sure)

2.9 2x short and sweet just dont see myself listening again

Not bad at all. I can see where she gained her status as a country legend.

An amazing person with a beautiful voice who makes music that generally isn’t for me.

All the songs are so country. A few of them sound too similar to me. She seems very nice though. Dreamy mind : ) I love Travelling Man!

fav songs: here i am melodic, traditional, tender 60/100

6/10 Raro pero esta bueno, al principio me pareció música de iglesia un poco

With a voice as sweet as a mars bar topped with candy floss and maple syrup it's hard to not be drawn into this album. But there becomes a point where the sweetness is too much and you want to digest it in smaller chunks over multiple sittings. It's a really nice album though.
