Eh. The title track was definitely my favorite. Thought her vocal performance was great throughout, but ended up pretty bored by the end, even though it’s less than 30 minutes.
Her vocals are great, but the lyrics don't rhyme and she just rambles about God a lot.
kill kill kill
Dolly is an iconic figure, and much loved in her genre. But that's where it stops for me. It s nice record, typical Dolly, beautifully sung simple country tunes.
A beautiful voice (I mean obviously, it's Dolly Parton) but it just unfortunately isn't my style or anything I enjoy. Though I do see the appeal and why she is so beloved. It just isn't for me
Extremely average country album imo
2/5 - good album, lack of spark/fire of sole sort
I respect dolly as both a musician and a person but country is not my jam. A few nice instrumentals but other than that nothing here for me.
Ugh, this is the sort of country music that encourages the perception that country music is all melancholy and emo. Not Dolly's best work.
lacking in jolene or 9 to 5. still pretty good for the genre
Not my piece of cake
Meh
Not bad, but not my thing. I started to really get into this era of country 5 or 6 years ago. Most of it isn’t interesting to me now. Give me Willie, Merle and Glen. Leave the rest. 1 - bad 2 - average 3 - good 4 - great 5 - outstanding
Meh. I still don't like country
Second time I listened to this now. Don’t really think it got much better for me. Not really my thing.
Ugh, we have a small dilemma in here. Dolly Parton is truly a wonderful human being. She is one of the few celebrities, that actually has some kind of code of honour, but also is using her influence to make a lot of good things. Her approach to the Rock'n'Roll Hall of Fame is also very admirable. Unfortunately, if we have to talk about her music, it's not as positive as her private life. Dolly Parton has an amazing voice, but the type of country music she is playing and recording is certainly not for everyone, and especially not for people from different parts of the World than USA. I really dislike country in general, and the more "pure" it is, the worse my reception of it. And Dolly recorded a quintessential country album in the form of "Coat of Many Colors". There was only one song that slightly broke the scheme of out of the mill country music, and it was the track with a little more rock influence in it, I don't recall which one it was, but probably "Traveling Man". I think in general I would give a lowest note possible for the album, but it would be an evil act against Dolly, so just this time, a 2 star rating for non-musical influence.
Fine if you like that kind of thing
Liked #7 Early Morning Breeze
5/10
2.5
Not the Dolly I know and like 1.6
I like Dolly Parton - but this record is quite tedious. Besides the opener and a couple of other songs i could wait for it to end.
Meh? Kind of all runs together, not a lot variety of key/etc. Vibrato's over the top.
Nice voice and nice sonorities. I think I like the country vibe, but I have to admit that the album is a bit on the slower side and I think that in chill context it would be a better fit. Anyway nothing bad here but nothing stunning either !
I’m not really a country person. I think the appeal of these songs are in the lyrics, and I’m not a lyrics person either, so not much here for me.
I like the songwriting on this one it gets kinda funny at times. As with all albums where I only praise the songwriting this one gets a 2
Your ma this your ma that.
Even at 27 minutes long, this was too long for me. I like bluegrass but I am unable to appreciate country.
Generic country music. Not to long
Meni aika huomaamatta läpi. Ei jäänyt mieleen eikä oikeastaan kiinnosta edes ottaa toista kierrosta.
Dollyn kantria kuuntelee jo huomattavasti mieluummin, mut aika basic settiä siitä huolimatta
I usually like country but this wasn’t really clicking with me for some reason. A lot of the songs were a bit too short for my taste and nothing stuck out to me in the songs. A lot of the tracks ended up blending together to me and there weren’t a lot of interesting moments instrumentally for me. A lot of the songs are also a bit too slow for my taste. Overall pretty boring in my honest opinion. I don’t really have much else to say. Coat of Many Colors, Traveling Man, Early Morning Breeze, and Here I am are the only tracks that I paid total attention to because I got bored of the other ones quite quickly.
not unpleasant and some solid tunes but not my thing.
I could not be listening to this at a worse time. Because my reaction is “Dolly, you are singing about some bullshit in such a kind southern wink of a way and you know it. Quit couching toxic behavior in blessings. Being poor fucking suck. Damn that coat.”
Not a fan of country, but this was pleasant enough.
The vibrato thing she does kind of freaks me out. I think she's probably a good person, but not much here for me. 2 stars, mostly because of the bassist being funkier than he had any business being on a pop-country album.
As far as country goes it was good. 2/5
I really liked some of the songs but I would never probably listen to this again.
Too old school for my liking
Really not my thing
Best Song: Early Morning Breeze. The deep, strolling bass serves as a nice contrast to Parton's high and floaty voice. Hearing this song, it strikes me that she needed more of this contrast throughout the album. Worst Song: The Mystery of the Mystery. Classically cheeseball religious lyrics that come off as particularly vacuous while trying to seem deep. Overall: Very much not my type of music. The slight warble that she puts on man of her notes is off-putting. Lyrically it is nice, and Dolly Parton seems like a lovely person, but this isn't my style.
She's a wonderful human being but I do not like her voice.
Early Morning Breeze and The Way I See You are kind of nice. But where is Jolene?
Look it's Dolly, who has a good, occasionally poignant voice and an expressive sense of humor. And it's country music, my #1 all-time hate. I couldn't help thinking for much of the album that she'd sound so good singing in a different genre. But then she wouldn't be Dolly.
Fine, a bit twee for me, and I love a bit of country. The tracks Spotify played after the album are more fun.
Not a particular fan of country music but not entirely disinterested in what is clearly an important country album.
Dolly is wat wispelturig in haar omgang met anderen. Boos dat haar traveling man afgepakt is door haar moeke, maar met slechts 1 nummer tussenpauze wil ze weer zo snel mogelijk naar haar toe. Ach, ik hou wel van compliceerde mensen!
Een icoon in haar genre en met tijd en wijlen best mooi, maar ik trek die country melodieën en vibrato van Dolly heel slecht
Lijkt me een heel gezellig mens, die Dolly. Maar muziekaal gezien zullen we niet snel vrienden worden.
Not a terrible album, I’m just not into country music.
For the most part, not a fan of country music. Also not a fan of biblical lyrics. This had both and I didn't listen to the whole album. Probably a classic w/r/t songwriting and just not to my liking.
Traveling Man vitun kova! Todella tiukka bassolinja. Muuten aika perus huttucountrya. 2/5
Meh. Tietyllä tapaa tätä vois pitää onnistuneena kun niin stereotyyppisen kuulosta kantria, mukaanlukien lauluääni. Mutta en nauttinut.
I wasn't entirely sure how to feel when I was assigned this album; I don't like country music, but I like Dolly Parton. I don't know anything about her from a musical standpoint, but she is a saint of a human being, and I she gets royalties from this expedition I took on Spotify for this review. So apparently this album shares the name with a TV drama based on Dolly Parton's life, which lead me to believe that the album would play like a soundtrack of sorts; plotting the highs and lows of the story with slide guitar and banjo and Dolly Parton's gently husky voice. While I perhaps wished for too much, I enjoyed the tracks for a once through listen; the title track was a moving narrative about a mother's love and DIY ethic before it was cool. Waltz-y tracks like She Never Met A Man and is contrasted with more upbeat tracks like Traveling Man (A lot of Men in this album!). It runs the albeit limited gamut of country music's range of dynamics and instrumentation, and while it isn't something I'd listen to ever, it is this writer's opinion that Dolly Parton is as good a place to start as any for anyone delving into country music for the first time. Enjoy my Spotify cents, Ms Parton!
Nice storytelling mostly about her momma (making her coats and her stealing men) as well as a Pre-curser to Jolene. No real standouts.
I think I've had my fill of country recently. It wasn't bad if you like that Dolly Parton story story telling style
Allegro e divertente, ma è sempre country
Ummmmmm……. I mean it’s not bad. But like idk how you can listen to this around other people. This is 100% headphone music not speaker music. I had it playing on my speakers and my roommate looked at me like I was insane.
I bet those boobs have been coated in all sorts of colours over the years
If you like this sort of thing this is probably good. I really don’t.
I admire her but I’m not into her music
Country is not really my style, but Dolly Parton is a legend. This just wasn't what I would go out of my way to listen to.
As much as I want to like this album, because Dolly Parton is objectively great, it's still a country album. It's a country album released in the early 70s. It is great for some folks, but not for me. 2 stars is as much as I can give it.
I find it difficult to get excited about most country music. This album was no exception. meh at best
i dislike country
I dont enjoy country music, went into this knowing I wouldn't enjoy it. However, it's no where near as obnoxious as I thought
// Favs: - Score: Decent 2
Dolly's nice and old but I can't get into this classic country. 4/10.
No me gustó, solo la segunda pieza estaba buena
I like Dolly Parton, but I don’t like her voice on this album. It’s Bob Dylan level of annoying.
Really not my vibe
I do not like country bruh
Sorry, but it's just boring to me. Dolly is gonna have to get another 1 star from me. The instrumentation is the only thing keeping me alive while listening to this album.
Damn, not into Country music at all. I feel like this is a very important artist for the genre and time period, but it's just not my style. I was considering between a 1 and 2 Star review because a few songs surprised me, but it's not enough to get it to a 2 star. Sorry if I'm offending a Country fan, just being honest here.
It's nota my tipe of músic
Sappy americana lol, but pleasant
Extremely dull. Didn’t even finish it because it made me so miserable
no
Country is not fo rme
Esto no es lo tuyo Guari! Sorry por los damnificades
if u like in country side and have farm u would like it wait till i hit my 80s and then show me this, maybe i would like it
Dolly Parton, her voice isn't my thing. Country music isn't my thing. The album isn't my thing. Sorry, I really don't need any more of this.
dolly parton is zo leuk maar ik ben geen fan van country of van haar stem sorry girl
Feels like Texas roundhouse type of music, lowkey painful
nah
it’s a no from me sorry dolly xxx
Country and me don't get along, sorry Dolly
Hillbilly nonsense
I know she’s like the nicest person ever, but I do not care for Country & Western music. Bailed after 4 songs.
I love and appreciate Dolly as an exemplary human. But country music makes my Black immigrant skin crawl. The bassist on this is 🔥, though.
too country for me. thankful it was only 27 mins
No. Not today. Not ever.
Phew...old, dusty and boring.
Not my jam
💩
Not a big country music fan
Just not doing this...
Una porqueria
No me gusta tanto el género de este album
Southern hell. Even though I love country music, I wouldn't rescue any song from this album. 1.5/5
Yeah nah. Not an album nor genre I consider essential.
Country, 19eme album => 1/5
First two tracks were good but rest of album was a very generic. Highlights: Coat of Many Colors, Runaway Man Unlikely to return.
Forgive my ignorance, but before even listening, I was surprised to read Dolly had done eight studio albums by 1971 - I didn't realise she was so active during the 60s. I've had KD Lang, Sarah Vaughan and now this on the bounce - girl power! As much as this list would like me to, I just can't warm to country music though - at least not at it's most formulaic, as this, sadly, is. Occasional more rock-orientated elements lift some of the tracks - the funky bass work on Early Morning Breeze steals the spotlight right off Dolly, for instance - but more often than not it's pedal steel, predictable stum-along chords and tales of growing up in poverty, running away with travellers and harping on to your "mama" about what a rotten time you've been having. Ultimately, just not a fan of her voice either. There'd better be no effing Kenny Rogers on this list...
I lied guys, maybe I don’t listen to all the genres of music
Кантри не мое
I don`t like Country-Music!
Very country, very American. Not bad but not for me. Here I am is probably my favourite if I had to pick one.
findi scho schön dasd dolly so freud ah ihrem coat hett nevertheless hani aber nöd so freud ah dem album gha, ckkkköntry isch halt eifach de schlager vo americkkkka und das chani eifach nöd abha leudeeee dolly isch aber no sömpa hani ghört, freu mich scho uf de vickkkkky ihri gschichtsstund (wenn sies schafft, sie isch ebe in paris gsi übers weekend und ezt chrank... ai caramber)
what’s up youtube! welcome to my speedrun attempt of coat of many colors by dolly parton! here we go… and done. oh wow I almost beat the record, but I don‘t want to go through it all over again. bye folks, leave a like, subscribe and smash that like button
not a country fan ;(
1 star
dolly parton sei una queen ma la tua musica non fa per me
it was hard to listen to this album till the end. The vocal of singer is great but I just don't like how it sounds. It's not my type of music
This is the 5th album I’m rating. I have not heard of this album until now but I’m excited to listen to a full country album for the first time. Coat of Many Colors - Adding to my Playlist. Not the biggest fan of the vocals but it’s good enough. Traveling Man - Not Adding to my Playlist. This had a bad second half. My Blue Tears - Adding to my Playlist. A little better than Coat of Many Colors. If I Lose My Mind - Not Adding to my Playlist. Some pretty cool lyrics but it’s pretty boring. The Mystery of the Mystery - Not Adding to my Playlist. The singing is a bit annoying. She Never Met a Man (She Didn’t Like) - Not Adding to my Playlist. I didn’t like the vocals. Early Morning Breeze - Adding to my Playlist. This song sounds really good and peaceful. Best song so far. The Way I See You - Not Adding to my Playlist. The instrumentals are a bit repetitive and annoying. Here I Am - Adding to my Playlist. Kinda boring but it’s fine. A Better Place to Live - Adding to my Playlist. The opening of this song made me smile. All in all I liked 5/10 of the songs. It was pretty good for my first ever country album and there are no songs that I actually dislike.
Coat of many pains
1/5. Bad. :yawn_emoji:
YIPPEE KI-YAY, MOTHERFUCKER! Hold nu op Country er noget lort. Jeg ved ikke hvad der er værst: den twangede måde at synge på, de forfærdelige hillbilly melodier eller de temaer der synges om. Hvis jeg vil høre om Gud og Jesus så gik jeg i kirke. Hvis jeg vil høre fuldemands fortællinger om barer og pick-up trucks så… Ej det gider jeg bare ikke. Det her må være de længste 27 minutter i mit liv 🙄
awful depressing whine. Not her best work
Lo mejor es que es corto
She’s an icon and an American treasure. I hope I never have to hear this album again.
Twanged out
No words
Sorry Dolly, this doesn't work for me.
There is only one country song: Dead Flowers by Townes Van Zandt. Dead Flowers by Townes Van Zandt covers all the bases of country. Dead Flowers by Townes Van Zandt says everything. Dead Flowers by Townes Van Zandt was, is and will be inevitable. This album is 10 pre-emptive covers of Dead Flowers by Townes Van Zandt.
1. coat - 1.5 2. traveling man - 1 3. blue tearz - 1.5 4. my mind - 1 5. myztery - 0 6. man - 1 7. breeze - 1 8. zee you - 1 9. here i am - 1 10. live - 1
Can't really understand why this is here. Ms Parton is a very talented lady, but this is just ordinary country fare, and quite boring. I'm sure she must have done better. I really want to rate her higher, but not for this piece of work.
The best thing about this album is that is is only 27 minutes long. I still think that it is too long by 1620 seconds. Some things should never exist, like Nashville, it would make a great nuclear test site. I hate everything else about it from the cover artwork to the dreadful songs. Line up all the musicians and their stetson wearing freaky line dancers and shoot them all. The world would be a better place.
Too old
Sorry, aber das ist einfach nicht meins!
es country no puedo perdon
Yeah...no.
Meh. Not a fan.
As much as I admire Dolly Parton as a person, I just don't like country music.
Did not listen
torture
Musste das leider nach drei Liedern skippen
You have to really like Dolly's wobbly voice and steel guitars to get through this one with a smile on your face. Far too American, far too boring, and only trace amounts of musicality. Lovely bass though.
Mal wieder Folk - könnte vermutlich auch ohne überleben.
This is terribly whiny.
Left me in a worse mood than before I started listening
I refuse to even listen to this.
Terrible, congratulations.
Not good
If you like traditional Country and Western then this is for you….. I don’t
I dislike country music, and while I can appreciate the clarity and rhythm of the singing, I wouldn't add this to my streaming library and nor am I likely to play this again. Not to my taste.
Meget cute og hun synger godt men den her slags country er bare overhovedet ikke min stil
Really?
Huhhuh mitä paska ei tässä ole mitään 1001 listalle pistävää.. rento.. lyriikat hohhoijaa ei kiinnosta..
1,5
i don't like country music
I know it has become extremely popular to adore Parton, and I'm thankful for her investments in mRNA vaccinations, but I just don't like this music.
Way to warbly
Worst thing I’ve heard in ages, why does she basically exclusively sing about her mum.
I just don't like C&W
Classic country, not for me.
I am sorry but I just can’t deal with country music
This is one of those 1-star albums that isn't inherently bad, but it's just not clicking for me, and try as I may, I can't find anything that would earn it a second star. Also, I can't quite explain it, but Dolly's voice sounds weak and fragile here, and not in a good way.
Not my jam
I’m not a bid fan of C & W, and this album doesn’t help change my mind. I find the lyrics trite and the music uninspiring. And Dolly’s voice grates on my nerves. Sorry.
Weird
This was 27 minutes long? Because it felt like an eternity. I don't like this type of music and I don't like Dolly Parton's voice, so definitely not for me.
Yeah nah
I don't like this music genre at all and this album is pretty exemplary for that genre.
Not sure why, but not a big Dolly fan
La historia del saco es emotiva, pero musicalmente no aporta mucho. Considero que el folk yanqui es un genero muy propio y por lo tanto no llega a la mayoria. Y la verdad no pude terminar de escucharlo.
Not a big fan of country. Not a big fan of Dolly. For sure not a big fan of this album.
Not for me.
No thank you.
No country pls
Just no.
Ugh. I just don't care for this music.
No thanks. Not my thing at all.
Only had one good song
Not a fan, gave it a listen anyway. Still not a fan. So we have learnt nothing here.
I just can’t stand it.
Do not like the quavary vocals at all
Nope.
ZZZZZZZZZZZ...good first song....ZZZZZZZZZ
