Reviews (page 9 of 13)
Classic Dolly album. Quirky and upbeat. Lacking the religious vibe that came later as she aged. This is a good thing.
Very solid album with fantastic songs, as to be expected from Dolly Parton. Top 5 (no order): Coat of Many Colours, She Never Met a Man (She Didn't Like), The Mystery of The Mystery, Early Morning Breeze, A Better Way to Love To be honest I don't have much to say about this album, it didn't blow me out of the water or anything but it was definitely great. 7.5/10
I grew up in a Northern Ireland household who loved their country music - Dolly Parton, Tammy Wynette, George Jones, Charlie Pride, Johnny Cash - so I have an affinity to a lot of the music. But, while she has become an icon, I always found Dolly a little bit twee, a little "Aw, shucks". Listening to this album again has not changed that. The songs are earnest, and I am sure they come from the heart; the playing is excellent and shares a lot with music that I love, Gram Parsons for example. But it is just not for me.
Found out last night while listening to this album that it's my FIL's favourite Dolly Parton album. I liked the first song. The bass in the second song was a groove, but the rest of the album sort of all blended together. The shortness definitely helped this album, as it's not something I would put on myself.
Honestly, I thought I'd hate it more given my past with country music. But I actually didn't mind my time with it. Maybe because it's only a 27 minute album and I didn't feel like it dragged on. But each song was unique in its own right and still flowed well together. It's a well put together album.
Not a genre I enjoy, but older country is more palatable. Dolly is a treasure so I can't go lower than 3.
I've never been super high on Dolly Parton, but I thought this was pretty good. Favorites were probably "My Blue Tears" and "Here I Am". 3.5 stars.
Unlike Dolly’s rack there’s only proper large banger here which is the title track and it’s an incredibly blubbery one at that too. Very beautiful sweet tale and a true heart tugger. There really is not the same level of richness stitched in the other tracks but it’s still all pretty nice and pleasantish for a country album. Travelin Man definitely taken a trek to various subterranean Bob Dylan lands. 3.5 stars.
Enjoyed it!
Fantastic, I had never listened to Dolly Parton before. I can hear how a lot of different artists took inspiration from her. Great sense of humor and musicality.
I don't love it but this is a good album in a genre I'm appreciating more. High 3
Music you'd her at grammas 30 years ago
This album was honestly okay, I was not expecting to like it too much but I was surprised by some songs. She is very wholesome
The title track is fun. Also, more rocking than most Country Albums I've listened to. Kinda gets a bit less interesting as it goes on. Not bad though.
Easy listen
Not my usual listen but can see why people like country music. 3/5
Very classic country, not typically something I would listen to. Dolly obviously has a great voice. The album is sonically very strong and easy on the ear. 7.1/10.
honestly no issues with the album. couple of songs i really like. just didn't jive 100% and is far from a daily listen
Not as good as her bluegrass stuff, but then I was always going to say that. Traditional C&W themes of please don't leave me, tempered with a bunch of religion, but it's Dolly, you know what you're gonna get. Nice though.
It's good country, but it's still very country. The start-to-Jesus time was less than a minute, the slide guitar remains slidey, and there's so many men than done her wrong that hey could start a football team. I didn't hate it, but it was just okay. Coat of Many Colours still hits hard though, no denying it.
I must be getting old. I rated this way higher than I thought I would have
There’s no doubt of her talent and there are 2 or 3 really well crafted songs on here
I was thinking this was pretty OK for its time, but the Sheriff's review made me start to think of this differently, and realize I was unintentionally grading this on an artificial curve. While this music nice in a sort of throwback, antiquated way - compared to the innovative and groundbreaking music happening all over the world at the same time, this is actually mostly just treacly sentimental bullshit. Why does almost every song reference her 'mama'? Too much mama. A friend of mine once visited Machu Picchu, the Incan ruins built in the 15th century. When I asked him about it, I expected him to be really impressed and talk about how amazing it was. Instead he shrugged and said "I don't know - the Romans built way more impressive cities 2000 years earlier." So Dolly Parton = Machu Picchu. Both are somewhat interesting in a vacuum, but considering the context and time period in which they were created, pretty underwhelming.
Great country album by Parton, top country sounding for my liking but it was lovely to have playing on in the background. 6/10.
Songwriting stands out, enjoyed the album more than I thought I would
cuteee…honestly every single song on here sounded exactly the same to me, but it was a pleasant enough song to begin with so i didn't mind so much. nice unobtrusive melodies. also don't worry dolly patchwork clothes are SO back.
This was cute but they mostly sounded the same to me, or sounded like other dolly songs. There were two towards the end I really liked that stood out, particularly “Here I Am” which kinda had some Janis Joplin vibes which surprised me. But yeah it was nice background music and I’m sure the lyrics are thoughtful and sweet but as we all know that isn’t usually enough to win me over anyway. *Best tracks: Here I Am, Early Morning Breeze*
Good traditional country, I like the bass line on early morning breeze. It's a good album, just not my cup of tea
I don't care for her voice but cant deny she’s been influential on country music. A 3
this might be the first Dolly I've ever fully listened to.
I didn’t love it, but I get why Dolly is known as one of the premier songwriters of her generation. The stories stand out. Maybe if I was more of a country fan I’d appreciate it more, but even so Dolly’s power as a storyteller excels.
Losta good country singing and strings
I love Dolly, and I love the song Coat of Many Colors. I appreciate that this was a short album, but I wanted a little more "oomph" in it. Not sure it's something I could really lose myself in.
Pretty good, got nothing else to really say, just listenable.
I absolutely hate the album artwork and the title track. Gross sentimentality. But . . . the rest of the album is not bad. Standouts for me are: Traveling Man, Early Morning Breeze, and Here I Am. All three of these songs sound more like Dylan’s Nashville Skyline, and less like Gatlinburg. Also, Dolly has a bit too much vibrato in her voice for my tastes.
This is fine. I think maybe in a different mood or a different day I'd appreciate this more, because the songs are perfectly constructed and her voice is great, etc. And yet I found it kind of a slog to get through this, even though it's a 30 minute album.
Coat Of Many Colors - Dolly Parton I'm not a big country music fan, so I figured there'd be a cap on how much I'd actually like this album, but Dolly's songwriting ability really made this a more enjoyable listen than I expected While the slower instrumentals of this album don't do anything for me, they set the stage for Dolly well. Her singing felt too warbled and flimsy in parts, but she does a great job of making whatever she talks about sound interesting. From her experiencing a summer breeze to losing a man to her mother, she makes her subject matter incredibly interesting to me with how poetic and heartfelt her lyrics are I don't see myself going back to this, but I'm glad I heard it. 3/5
Soft and fuzzy, early morning breeze, the way I see you, are just like a hug. Country is not totally my jam but Dolly is so lovely and some of these tunes are just perfect
im not a fan of this type of music... but sure ill listen to anything once
folki-americana. Not my mood today
Country isn't a genre I enjoy. That being said, Dolly gets extra grace due to her legendary status and the amount of respect I have for her as a human. Her voice is crystal clear. It's interesting to hear her turn on and off her vibrato which can seem a bit frantic at times. It's particularly interesting to hear the blend of her straight tone and vibrato when she overdubs harmony vocals. By and large, the songs are good. As an early-70s album, it lacks many of the things that are grating about modern country. Even the cross-over songs here are more bearable because they sound like early-70s light rock. It's a solid 3 stars for me.
I love Dolly Parton as a person but I must admit...I'm not super familiar with her music, save for "Berry Pie" which I've heard several times. Outside of that, I know Dolly Parton for being one of the few leftist voices in a genre of music saturated with right-wing nonsense. With that in mind I'm excited to check this out! One of the things about listening to this record is that it has had me smiling the entire time. Dolly has a way of weaving comedy into some of her songs in a way that I just find kind of adorable, I think of the song "Traveling Man", which is a song that's not meant to be taken super seriously and I appreciate the tongue-in-cheek nature. This sort of spirit permeates the entire album in a way I appreciate. There's also moments where I feel like the lyrics can be a little deeper than you would expect them to be - I found the lyrics on "The Mystery of the Mystery". Overall, I'd say this is a really solid country album but probably not one I'll return to with much frequency. Standout tracks are: "Coat of Many Colors", "If I lose My Mind", "The Mystery of the Mystery", "A Better Place to Live".
genuinely decent album. i would not listen to it on my own and i think that’s mostly bc i don’t exactly like dolly partons voice but i do see the appeal. if i lose my mind, she never met a man, and early morning breeze were my favorites
Realest, classic country... just lovely and charming
Started off thinking this was going to be a 4 or a 5 however 3 songs in everything started to sound the same. Love the style but not much as stand out as some of her more famous hits (e.g. Jolene, I Will Always Love You). Going to check out 9 to 5 to get some more Dolly in my life!
It's almost impossible to listen to this while you're trying to do something else. Parton tells stories that just suck you in.
Coat of many colors - classic, no notes Traveling man - court/ourt'nt, beautiful My blue tears - beautiful harmonies If i lose my mind - "made me watch him live another/ tried to make me love another ... afraid of what I'd do" The mystery of the mystery - ??? She never met a man (she didn't like) - Jolene sequel? Early morning breeze - just a chill song about nature The way I see you - Here i am - she's lonely and really trying not to be A better place to be - let's like all work together man A solid album with one big standout in front. 3/5
Nice vocals. Dolly has such a beautiful voice. My favorites on this album are the first 2 songs. Still, country is not music that I like. But I see myself returning more to this than the "Trío" album, which I got before.
I don't think I've ever listened to a Dolly Parton album before! This wasn't a bad experience either! Her voice is so sweet, and she's quite a writer! I may have to listen to more of her albums. She certainly has enough (80?) to listen to!
Short and sweet!
You can’t really go wrong with Dolly Parton. She manages to make the most beautiful melancholic songs and pulls a few bangers out of her boot as well. She has stronger songs not found on this album, but this was rock solid.
Cute country
A very soft and very well written album. Don’t know if I’d revisit it soon but a very quality album. 7.5/10
3.75/5 beautiful vocals and accompanying instrumentals. Liked the folksy country more than I might have expected.
A lovely time
Who doesn’t like Dolly Parton? She makes great music, she’s entertaining, and she is just a good person in general. This is a good album, the tracks feel like they fit together snugly, lyrically it’s really good, i read Dolly wrote most if not all of this on her own and I must say she is skilled with the pen, she is a talented musician. I can feel the inspiration this album has on country stuff even now, sadly a good chunk of the stuff you hear learned the wrong lessons, modern country really pales in comparison to the old stuff. Hope there is more of her on this list based on her impact it wouldn’t suprise me if there is, and I’ll look forward to it. Rating: Good (Strong ☆☆☆) Favorite Tracks: Coat Of Many Colors, Traveling Man, and A Better Place To Live.
2.5 — didn’t enjoy much but I love Dolly so it’s rounded up
Lieblingssongs: Traveling Man, Early Morning Breeze Country, mit schöner Track Reihenfolge, die fast wie eine Geschichte aufgebaut ist. Allerdings oft bisschen kitschig, aber das ist Country ja. Hab noch nie ein Album von Dolly Parton durchgehört, schöne kurze Abwechslung.
I admire Dolly Parton a lot as a human. And objectively, this record is full of goodness. Just personally not really my jam I'm afraid, even if I do like some of the storytelling.
The Good: A colorful album! The Bad: Wait, it is only the coat that is colorful! The Ugly: Wait again, it seems that the colors on the coat are nothing to be happy about… Wow… Don’t know what to say, except, I repeat; Wow. And that is not meant in the WOW, that was great… more like, wow, I always knew that CaW is all about misery, yet the “lord” will come and set you free. Not my cup of tea. Not what I needed today. Musicianship on the album is tight, songwriting is tight, vibrato in the voice is a little too much to bare after a while, and one can’t but wish that we’d be sitting on a porch somewhere, chewing tobacco, while sipping some moonshine out of a clay jug and watch cousin Jethro do a jig… I think that I should give the album a second spin, but maybe not on a dreary day, when the sun isn’t coming out, and sharp objects are too close to my exposed wrists. Though gut tells me I should give this 2*, I will grant it 3* due to Dolly being Dolly!
# Album Name: Coat of many colours # Artist: Dolly Parton # Rating: 3/5 # Comments: Bang average. Just OK. # Top Tunes: No idea # Would I listen to it again? No
Lovely
Sweet. Wonderful story telling.
Rating: 3.5/5 (Rounded down to 3) Favourite Track: Here I Am Honourable Mention: Traveling Man, Early Morning Breeze HERE I AMMMMMMMMMMMMM, OH HERE I AMMMMMMMMMMM Dolly has such a distinct vocal style that really shines in this album. Her talent combined with the storytelling makes this such an easy listen! Bonus points for the heavy bass :)
Correcto
First one is very sweet. Really cool bass on Traveling Man and love the TWIST. "That travelling man was a two-time lover, took my love and he took my mother!" - excellent. The rest are too country (go figure) except Early Morning Breeze which has a really cool unusual tune and great bass. The non-country parts of The Way I See You are great.

Nice!
Lovely album as expected from Dolly. Personal favourites were Here I Am and She Never Met a Man (She Didn't Like). I liked how short and sweet it was.
My queen Dolly I love her and everything she represents and she gives me a glimpse of hope of being interested in this type of music. But then again it gets to a point where how far can someone I love a personality of persuade me to like music I have never once enjoyed… I go back and forth. My queen.
Nice, if not all that memorable, tunes.
I had never heard a country album that inspired and kept me engaged. I still have not.
Fun album
A voice recognizable among all others. An album of ballads, not memorable but fine and pleasant to listen as long as you are in the right mood
Very pretty music. Enjoyed it more than I thought I would, especially Liked her Voice and lyrics. Some Songs Sounded to simmilar though
The title track is really good, a beautiful piece of storytelling about childhood. Some of the rest is a bit bland but I do think this album showcases Dolly's stunning turn of phrase and ability to write poetic lyrics. Some very nice metaphors. To take Early Morning Breeze as another highlight, I don't find it musically that interesting but she turns a countryside morning scene into something very evocative and visual. Nice Don't think I'll go above 3*, country is not my thing and I got a little bored even in the 27 minutes. But it's pleasant enough
Even non-country fans can find something to love with the album. Ever poignant as always.
Country
Some more Dolly. Sounded fine. Not much to say.
Album is over before you know it but it's a pleasant listen.
Conflicted on whether to give this a 3 or a 4, enjoyed it but doubt I'd listen again.
This was fine but I don't see it as a must hear.
No sé porque vuelvo a abrir cualquier trabajo de Dolly. No soy muy afecto a su género, pero la curiosidad maneja mis hilos esos momentos y me quedo
As Shirley would say, "That's nice!" Not a country music fan, but this was pleasant without being too cloying, and Dolly is a wonderful human (antidote to the Kanye/Morrissey/Clapton types).
Pretty good overall, esp if you are okay with Dolly's distinctive voice. I'm partial to her just because she's Dolly Parton, but don't think I'll be re-listening to this one.
Honestly just a nice little country album. Doesn't overstay its welcome, nor does it cheesy or overly patriotic like a lot of country does. Nothing mind blowing, but it's very solid.
3.5
Dolly is a country legend. I don't like much country but this was good.
3/5
Not for me but enjoyed the songs. Enjoyed far more than the more modern country songs. Can hear the roots of other genres like rock and gospel. Using my Goodreads book ratings - 5 It was amazing. could not put it down. lifechanging. would recommend. 4 Really liked it. would pull an all-nighter. incredibly useful. would re-read it. 3 Liked it. it was good. nice book. glad I read it. 2 It was okay. Liked a few things. limited useful info. wouldn't re-read it. almost couldn't finish it. 1 couldn't finish. Did not like it. Not my cup of tea. skip it. No Stars mainly non-fic and don’t want to rate people’s memoirs or dense texts.
There's some solid songs on here, and overall no complaints, but not really anything that made me want to listen again.
Clear vocals and story telling
Country music (especially this type classic country music, for want of better description) really isn't my thing, but I didn't entirely hate spending time listening to this album, seemed an interesting mix of soul and pop influences on some of tracks, with not too much of the typical cringe worthy country lyrics,⭐⭐⭐
solid country album (I'm not a country fan) from a talented singer 2.5/5.0
Country twang.. 27 mins? Thats short!
Dolly is so great - often replicated but its neevr the same. Her songs are so short and to the point, its refreshing. A whole album of Dolly is just a bit too much for me tho.
dolly parton lowkey freaks me out why does she look like that its fine. i tried to pretend that she was adrianne lenker, but then i thought about it and she actually sounds nothing like her beyond the fact that they both make country music (adrianne lenker is more of a singer-song writer folk artist but you know what i mean, right?)
Not my thing. I can acknowledge that it's good, but I can't 100% get into it. There are some good tracks though. Standouts: Coat of Many Colors, Traveling Man, She Never Met a Man (She Didn't Like)
Not a huge fan of country but if I'm going to listen to it, Dolly Parton from the 70s is likely not a bad choice. Favourite tracks "Traveling Man" and "Early Morning Breeze", tellingly the least country sounding. 3 known / 5 new
I'm not a big country fan, and this album won't change my mind, even if it does have a sweet flavor.
Classic album but not my jam.
Some brilliant tracks here. A lot more funky than I had expected.
Dolly and her quivery country songs.
Country is not for me. Album doesn't drag but is a little bit samey throughout.
Day 9: Coat of Many Colors - Dolly Parton. Dolly Parton delivered a brief, but enjoyable country album. Dolly Parton's status as a music legend is not disputable. I mean, how many musicians can say that they own their own theme park? Dolly Parton's pristine vocals add a nice touch to the relaxed instrumentation of her songs on the album. The lyrics to her songs are also really nice. This is a great album, but it isn't one that I would say is a must-listen. Perhaps Jolene would have been a better fit. I feel bad for giving Queen Dolly Parton three stars, but oh, well. Personal Enjoyment: 4/5. How Much It Belongs Here: 3/5.
Not my typical style but enjoyable
This is both very lightweight in terms of music, but really pretty fucking heavy on lyrical content. Pleasant but not amazing.
Solid old school country (which is far better than the new stuff) 2.5/5
Not a fan
We love Dolly. Complex relationship with both mother and travelling man.
I think Dolly has a beautiful voice. I liked a few songs, but, overall I don’t think it’s for me. I’m just not a big country fan.
Ça s’écoute mais je suis pas un gros fan
She is precious, I'll give her that. This is as about as good as country gets for me.
This is a very pretty album, and Dolly's voice is awesome. That said, it's just not my cup of tea. I appreciate the inclusion on the 1001, though, definitely worth the listen!
It's country music.
Nie mam zbyt wiele do powiedzenia, odsyłam do innych recek Dolly Parton. It's foin.
Here I am stricken with the flu, or something close to it, and today's album is a country one--by none other than Dolly Parton in an era earlier than "Jolene", at least if I followed all of this correctly. Country is far from being my favorite genre, and in the haze I'm in, it's hard for me to find redeeming features to this apparently by-the-numbers record (always preferred outlaw country and honky tonk anyway). The opening title track is pretty enough, but Dolly's high-pitch rant on the livelier second track already gets on my nerves. More of the same after that. "The Mystery Of The Mystery" has strangely metaphysical lyrics, the cutesy yet groovy "Early Morning Breeze" displays strangely original instrumentation, not owing much to C&W, there is quite an original piano part on "The Way I See You", and "Here I Am" has a memorable chorus with soulful background vocals typical of the early seventies. Closer "A Better Place To Live" returns to the annoyingly predictable country shenanigans of the first side, unfortunately.ooks like the second side is whole different album, and honestly, that's all for the best. I'm too much sick and exhausted to open my shakras today anyway. Going for a neutral grade here, just to err on the side of caution, and then I call it quits. Pretty sure there are a lot of typos in this "review" anyway, and honestly that's all that I can take with C&W today. Pity me folks. Leave a "like" button if you bear with my moaning. *Sneeze*! Good night folks. See you on the other side of the not-so-OK Corral! 3/5 for the purposes of this list of essential albums 8/10 for more general purposes (5 + 3) Number of albums left to review: around a hundred, as I've gone over the 1000 line and this generator is including albums from all editions of the book Number of albums from the list I find relevant enough to be mandatory listens: 443 Albums from the list I *might* include in mine later on: 265 (including this one) Albums from the list I won't include in mine: 322
Dolly seems to be one of the sweetest, most likeable people on the planet but her voice and flavor of country has never really been my kind of thing. I can't really fault anything on this album, it was a pleasant but unremarkable listen.
Best: A Better Place to Live Worst: not gonna do that to dolly Liked songs: 60%, 6/10 Strong 3 I honestly wasn't expecting too much because I've never been a massive country fan, but this is a real solid album. The A-sides were decent but got me worried for the B-sides because they're always the worst on the album, but the B-sides on this album (and especially the last two songs) are the best thing about the album. Gotta love dolly too, didn't read too many of the lyrics but they seem to pretty cool (much like dolly). Almost considered giving it a 4 but there are some definite filler songs that drag it down to just below the 4 threshold.
Not my style but love her voice
Dolly Parton is a fantastic storyteller and you can hear the emotion in her voice. The songs were catchy and succinct but overall, I couldn't see myself coming back to this one.
I haven't listened to much country from the 60s and 70s but the times I have I enjoy it. Same goes for this album. Also, weirdly the story of Joseph and the coat of many colors was one of the more memorable biblical stories from my childhood
Loved this Dolly album. I had only heard Coat of Many Colors (great tune) but the full album had a nice funk groove for a country album. I'd 100% buy on vinyl for a crowd-pleasing listen.
Amazing vocals, not that into the songwriting though.
Fun album
Good minimalistic country. I'm pretty sure it's not her best work, but I still enjoyed it.
Hey, this album is great! This is not my jam, far from a masterpiece, but Dolly Parton is a legend and it shows.
I thought this was a great album -- a terrific surprise. The first two songs in particular were excellent. Dolly packs a lot into 28 minutes.
Certainly not my genre, but good songwriting
Dolly has not changed in many years - great at what she does but not my favourite genre
A sweet and cute little country album from Dolly, who is a huge legend in America but never made a big splash over here in Europe. I think her 1974 album "Jolene" is even better. I wonder why that one didn't make the list. Key tracks: Coat of Many Colors
meh? I don't really know what I was expecting from a Parton album but it definitely sounded like what I imagined a Parton album to sound like, without being iconic the way I hoped it would be 5/10
Only 26 minutes??? Dolly, you spoil us. After yesterday’s SEVENTY SEVEN MINUTES of Xtina, this will probably feel like a cool drink of water. I’ve listened to more Dolly than I ever have in the last couple years, but this one will contain mostly new stuff. Deep tracks better deliver. This is just a nice song. I mean I’m sure it’s vaguely religious somehow, but it’s a sweet sentiment and nice little pop country song. Before pop country was designed to sell trucks and beer to morons. Holy hell. Kicking it up a notch. God I do like this era of country. Guitar rips pretty good, voice is full of energy. This one is quite fun actually. There’s such an understated folk aspect to this song. Sounds ancient which is a very good thing. Man, modern music is terrible sometimes. This is probably the best of the bunch so far. The weird polyamory diversion is interesting. By interesting, I mean highly out of place. This one is not hitting the same. A little paint by numbers country. The mystery of the mystery??? This might be what finally breaks my case wide open. I’ve been walking these lonesome streets for a while now trying to make a dollar out of two dimes and now this broad with a crazy coat says she’s got some mysteries to solve. This damned city never sleeps. That concludes the noire detective portion of this review as we wait for the direct god stuff to be over. Whoa. Is this a diss track? Man. I love these old jealousy ballads. Yeah, Dolly. Scorch that skank. Pretty sweet. Whoa, some introspective bass opening. Is this the 90’s?? Ah nice, more folk. Her voice is really quite good. Couldn’t decide for awhile but it is nice. A tortured warble, which may sound like a critique, but it has character and passion. This stripped back instrumental is so good. Hmm. This is not something I’d listen to alone. Or really at all. It’s sweet, but not for me. Too much piano. Not enough going on. Too sappy. Here I am. Well. You’ve been here for awhile Dolly. Has anyone performed a wellness check on 1971 Dolly Parton? Did wellness checks exist back then? Was it a kick in the ass and a verbal teardown? Probably. This song is alright. She’s givin’ it large, as I heard some person say once. She’s really embodying that nonsense saying. Not the La La’s Dolly. You were doing so good. Less memorable. This album started off like a gentle freight train. Like one of those trains that take you through an old-timey amusement park. Gentle, fun, time to take everything in. AND it mixed in the thrill of big trains. Damn. Maybe I need to go to one of these places. Anyway. This album exhibited passion, capable singing and a lot of excellent songwriting only to be let down by a same sounding side B. A lot of the boxes ticked in my seemingly arbitrary album review process and a lovely listen all around. 3.5 HIGHLIGHTS: Coat of Many Colo(u)rs, Traveling Man, My Blue Tears, Early Morning Breeze
Pretty good. I've been in my country bag lately, but this doesn't hot the way I really want it to.
Not my cuppa
Man, country music is depressing. Can't say I enjoyed this album, but Dolly has a distinct voice and style.
it was okay maybe little repetitive
Not really my cup of tea honestly, didn't hate it but I have to admit I was glad when the last song played
Dolly Parton is a national treasure. This album was good...but not really in my wheelhouse.
Not my style but Dolly has an impressive voice. I understand why she is an icon.
I'm not a huge fan of country -- to say the least -- but it was nice to listen to; she knows how to write songs and sing them, and the background music is simple yet efficient.
COAT OF MANY COLORS by Dolly Parton First album I listened from this list, and it's the first country album I listened fully! In just 27 minutes with only 10 tracks, honestly it sounds pretty decent. Sure, it sounds like any other typical country album, but it's the way that Dolly does it that I can't even explain, but to say "yo, this shit ain't that bad". The lyrics there do go hard, like the second one had a CRAZY twist, and the sixth one just made me wanna cry (canon event). Will I revisit this album again? I don't know, but for this to be the first album, I'm off to a decent start, time to listen to another 999 albums left to hear!!! ._. 1.- Coat Of Many Colors = 8/10 2.- Traveling Man = 5/10 3.- My Blue Tears = 6/10 4.- If I Lose My Mind = 7/10 5.- The Mystery Of The Mystery = 5/10 6.- She Never Met A Man (She Didn't Like) = 7/10 7.- Early Morning Breeze = 7/10 8.- The Way I See You = 8/10 9.- Here I Am = 8/10 10.- A Better Place To Live = 8/10 FINAL SCORE = 6.9/10
Even a jaded country skeptic like myself will readily admit that Dolly Parton has an incredible voice full of personality. But is that enough to justify a mix of alright upbeat tracks and totally uninspired country waltzes? Kind of, actually.
Things Dolly Parton doesn't understand: - Why men are pricks - Why her mum's a slag - What happens when we die
oli aika hyvä mut en lisänny soittolistaan yhtää
I had very few feelings at all regarding this album. Listened to it top to bottom in one drive to work. I enjoyed the staccato bass playing, it was really tight, but other than that I didn't have any opinions to be honest. It's possibly telling that when the album ended and Spotify autoplayed Jolene, it was the first time I was excited in the album because I thought it was one of its tracks. It wasn't. It's fine. Dolly is an icon and the bass was cool but that's about all this album has going for it, from my perspective. No issues with it and nothing incredibly boring either.
Dolly Parton is timeless and has inspired too many to name. Many of her standards were immediately recognizable on first listen. While it's not my usual cup of tea, it absolutely belongs on this list.
Хороший приятный голос
This album feels like a cozy chat with an old friend. The songs are simple and honest, sharing stories about family and hard times. There's a hint of Emmylou Harris in the way it all feels real, like you’re just sitting and listening to someone who really cares. The music stays low-key, letting the vocals and stories take center stage. It's heartfelt, down-to-earth, and doesn’t try to be anything it’s not.
It was good. I liked it
Pleasant and delightful. Some tracks had a more homespun gospel-sound to them, compared to what we've heard so far of the old school 70s country. Short and sweet, with a very compact run time, but enjoyable.
Good homespun country music from the Queen of country.
Overall: 6/10 Country really isn't my favourite genre of music and any artists making it needs something that stands out to differentiate them from the rest. Thankfully, Dolly stands out for two BIG reasons...her voice and her charisma! While it's not something I'm going to listen to a lot, this was enjoyable and I would recommend it to people who have a better relationship with Country than I do. Fav Song: Early Morning Breeze Least Fav Song: A Better Place to Live
Oprigtigt bedre end forventet. Hendes må at fortælle på er charmerende, og med et glimt i øjet. Lidt belærende, men jeg hyggede mig med første halvdel af albummet. Det blev dog lidt for meget af det samme.
3 and a half stars, a nice country album but only a couple stand out tracks.
no me encanto, pero fue entretenido de escuchar top 3 traveling man coat of many colores a better place
I have tremendous respect for her singing, songwriting, and positive influence on folks. But I have a hard time listening to her do 10 songs in a row. So I'll continue liking her by micro-dosing her music.
Pretty nice country music.
Classic Dolly Parton
A generational voice which is perfect for this kind of easy listening.
Dolly has a really nice voice, it’s a shame so much of this album is singing about two timers and man stealers. If I listen to more Dolly, I’ll skip those kinds of songs.
a bit quiet for me
Dolly Parton is skilled. I don't just mean in writing songs and singing, but she's also skilled in sincerity. Despite having her own theme park (which has some worrying-sounding stories) and being extremely rich, she seems incapable of sounding insincere. It's a skill, even though it's pretty clear that a lot of that sincerity is genuine. Of course, this album was recorded back before Dollywood was even a twinkle in her eye, when she was just breaking out of being in a pretty popular duo. Whether she's singing about the mystery of the mystery or a dylanesque rant about how her mum ran off with a 'Travelling Man', it radiates charm. The band keeps up too, and isn't afraid to be as stereotypically southern country as possible. I can't really think of anything more to say than that. It misses out on being ranked higher because ultimately I'm just not much of a country guy, and I prefer it when she blends the genres more Fave: Early Morning Breeze Least Fave: My Blue Tears Strong Bad Demerit Counter: 3
Not much to say, I like country and I like dolly, a good listen
Dolly gør sin ting
Really nice country, didn’t realize how many years she’d been singing
I love her voice. The songs are comforting, and I am happy to have listened to Dolly for a change. However, nothing really stood out to me or stuck in my head, which is why I'm only giving the album 3 stars.
Biblical, thoughtful and a colorful dance with Dolly.
Cuntry and western
I love Dolly but it’s not something I’d just throw on
Not my normal listen.
I’m a bit partial to the odd bit of country music now and again. There’s quite a wide variety of styles available on this album from honky-tonk to Carter family style folky stuff. Really enjoyed Early Morning Breeze but not all to my taste.
Pleasant to listen to
Oikein rempseä ja mukava hyvänmielen taustamusiikkilätty. Queen D.
Tätä oli jotenki hirveen hellyttävää kuunnella 😭💘 love u dolly
could i write poetry to this? n
Did not use a private Spotify. Another country album. It's Dolly, appreciate her voice, but it's not for me.
I'm not normally a fan of this genre, but she's got a unique and appealing voice, and some good lyrics (although she sure talks to her Mama a lot).
Great voice and appreciate her talent, but just not a big fan of country music.
Starts off strong with title track. A national treasure.
ese corte no me gusta
I don't like too much country but it is very cool for someone that likes it. Talks too much about her mother, but i get how much rock took from country (how they influentiet each others)
very good considering it was country. but still country
Love a bit of Dolly. There were some good songs here. Not the greatest though?
I must confess, though I love Dolly, I am not a huge fan of that vibrato. And this all sounds a bit samey to me. I think she’s one of those artists where I would prefer a greatest hits package
Simple, unassuming, easy
It was hard for me to enjoy as the genre isn't for me, but she has a nice voice and the music was calming and harmonious.
Enjoyed it as I expected to.
Story-telling country songs across a range of genres/moods, all twangy and made with high-polish Nashville production, from poignant folk to pop bluegrass to piano ballads to high energy country rock. Her vocals in particular are the highlight with memorable phrasing, pauses, and overall a really charismatic delivery. The soaring lap steel soars the close harmonies are really affecting in the way they always are.
Wow. What an awful time Dolly Parton is having with men in this album. A boyfriend who gets stolen by her mum. A boyfriend who is trying to convince her to become a swinger against her will. And a woman who will fuck anything that moves. Loved it
Big respect for Dolly! Not really my scene, but I appreciated the different vibe today
So I’m not really a fan of Dolly’s chipmunk stylings and I’m mostly not a listener of country. This album is more traditional country with a heavy folk influence, particularly on the title song. But I am a fan of ‘70s singer songwriter genre and I feel like this is a mostly listenable, even enjoyable, album on that level. 3.4
not my style but dolly is a story teller!
Lovely little album, doesn't outstay its welcome, is pretty samey it must be said.
I mean, it's Dolly. She's very good at what she does. Just not really my jam.
Dolly is always great! Sounds great, lyrics are fairly simple. The music is what you would expect from a country westren album.
Exactly what I expected Dolly Parton to sing to me. Well, the plot twist with her mum and the travelling man aside, maybe! Sweet, wise, enjoyable. Thanks Dolly
As over-encompassing as this list is, country music has a surprisingly small presence. And that’s not something I’m necessarily complaining about. Maybe it just isn’t a taste I’ve fully acquired yet. But I do like a country song here and there. And I don’t scoff at people who enjoy it like I used to. But it also really depends on what kind of country music we are talking about. I am an avid and impassioned hater of what the genre has become in modern times. There are few words I wouldn’t use to describe my distaste for the Luke Combs and Morgan Wallen’s of the world. But those people are not the subject of this review. Dolly Parton is. And with this one album, she did a better job at convincing me of the power of country than maybe any other artist before. She’s definitely one of the most iconic female music stars of all time. And it’s impressive that she’s been making music for nearly 60 years, and consistently the entire time at that. I’ll admit that my perception of her had been a little twisted up until today. Simply because she has leaned more into that aforementioned form of music in recent years. But her roots were pure and strong. This album contains all of the things I look for in decent country music. And it also revealed to me just how talented of a songwriter and lyricist Dolly actually is. It’s a lot more sophisticated than I presumed it would be. What really carries the album is her voice though. Her delivery accompanied by the incredibly smooth natural vibrato makes for some marvelous performances. They are powerful, effective and simple. How I’m scoring this isn’t determined by Dolly herself, but more so my attraction towards country, and whether I see myself coming back to this in the future. Which is probably unlikely. Rating: 6/10
Not heard this one before. I enjoy storytelling in songs, how it paints a vivid picture. Very powerful singing and songwriting. Highlights: Coat of Many Colours My Blue Tears A Better Place To Live
I had never heard any of the songs on this album prior to this listen. Her songwriting and voice are so recognisable and are so authentic on this record. It is definitely more my style. Her delivery is always on point even when I don’t enjoy a song. I only wish there was slightly more range but the shortness of the album made up for it. Favourites: Coat of Many Colours, Early Morning Breeze, Here I Am Least Favourites: The Mystery of the Mystery
Decent. Listening to this album makes me think of browsing in a flea market or antique mall. Dolly is great but this album didn’t grab me.
ye 😬👍
Pretty standard Dolly album. The singles didn't really stand out to me or impress me all that much but the Nashville formula is so enticing and efficient that it's really easy to listen to, which is good.
It was fun to listen to Dolly songs that I don’t already know! Her voice is so iconic. But I do feel like Dolly has better albums out there. A Better Place to Live was my favorite song.
Cute storytelling, lovely voice.
Relaxing old school country. Old fashioned sounding recording.
I am not much of a country listener but Dolly is one of the exceptions. She is so darn charming. I like coat of many colours and travelling man.
she's got a great voice songs blend together a bit though
The album starts off quite strong, but plateaus off to fair generic country & western. My mum loves Dolly Parton and specifically the opening track, which is a great song, that's enough to inflate my rating.
++: Traveling Man, She Never Met a Men (She Didn't Like), Early Morning Breeze +: Coat of Many Colors, My Blue Tears, If I Lose My Mind, The Mystery of The Mystery, The Way I See, Here I Am, A Better Place to Live 7,0/10
I am not at a country fan but I love Dolly. She does have such a flawless voice. I enjoyed this more than I thought I would.
Country music wouldn’t exactly be my choice, but at least this is better than the garbage pop country we have to live with now. And Dolly Parton is a damn treasure of humanity for sure, I'm just not someone who would ever listen to her music. But I listened to this. That's really about all I can say about it. I guess I'll rate it a 2.5/5 because I can see why people like it and it was short and sweet.
# 297 : Haven't really listened to Dolly outside of her hits and I found this Pleasant to listen to. Great songs, great voice, under 30 minute runtime. It packs a punch but, on the whole, a little bit boring and no song really stood out to me here, but pleasant all the same. Favourite Track : Coat Of Many Colours
It's stuff like this that affirms my belief that there are, in fact, no objectively bad genres, at least as far as broad genres are concerned. I've never been a fan of country music. However, the country music I've been exposed to is primarily what I would call "modern bro-country." You know, stuff like Florida Georgia Line, Jason Aldean, and Luke Bryan. I hate that music. It's so bad. I can't stand it. However, country as a genre is not objectively bad, and I know that because of Dolly Parton. Well, okay, there's other important artist like Johnny Cash that also affirm that belief. Dolly Parton is truly an American legend, and for good reason. Not only is she a stunning philanthropist (in more ways than one), she's also a pretty good musician. This album is quite good. The opening title track is just a great song, but the rest of them aren't bad either. Dolly's vocals are impressive and a joy to listen to. The writing is also solid. The sound is pleasant to listen too. Overall, while country isn't really my thing, there's no doubt that this is a solid album that has a lot going for it. High 3/5.
Everyone knows that Dolly Parton is country music royalty. That alone doesn’t do much for me, as I’m just not a big fan of the genre (with a handful of exceptions). But Parton is clearly something special. Her voice is majestic, haunted yet confident. You can feel her heartbreaks and jealousies from miles away. It is what country music is meant to be, but she does it well and better than the vast majority of men who dominate that section of the industry. To top that off, she’s also just know to be very cool. I won’t listen to this one often, if ever again. As I said, it’s just not my genre. But I said that with the utmost respect.
Okay this kind of Country I can tolerate, mainy just because how good of a person Dolly is. Key word being tolerate. The biblical references are cringe. The whole album is only 27 min. I can do that. lol There's a couple songs on here that I like. I like the old sound, and her voice.
I by no means am a country fan, so I can't say for sure whether or not this is good by country standards. Compared to other music in general, it's okay. Dolly definitely put her heart and soul into every one of these songs, and that's something that can't be said for many country artists. I guess what I'm saying is that she tried at the very least.
Niet mijn ding, maar wel goed gezongen, en gespeeld. Paar prima nummers
Jes hyvä että b-puolen lopussa tempo nousi ja laulu reipastui- Dolly toki osaa tehdä koskettavia biisejä, mutta lopulta monet hitaat ovat suht yhdentekeviä. Tällä levyllä oli ehkä vähän liikaa niitä. Olisivat olleet nimikkobiisin veroista nyyhkytarinaa. Vahva kaks puol.
Se että "mama" lähtee lopulta matkustelijan matkaan lieventää avausraidan juustoisuutta. Kuulen tällä levyllä paljon sellaista mihin haluan palata, vaikken olekaan vielä vakuuttunut siitä, että kappaleet ylittävät formalistisen luonteensa. Katsotaan: matala 3.
Mama sure gets mentioned a lot. I enjoyed the title track and “Here I Am” which is well written. A bit too much of a country church vibe for my tastes. The double vocal got old and her pitch is only good for a couple songs before it’s annoying.
I recognized the title track. It’s a fine album. I get she’s an American icon and all that but didn’t feel like anything groundbreaking to me.
-I have never listened to a single Dolly Parton song before this album I don’t think but she sorta cooked here. It’s very reminiscent of the album I got the day before too -Favorites are Coat Of Many Colors, Traveling Man, and She Never Met A Man
Not a big country fan, but this album is a good listen
Dolly! Some of the tracks were a little too Country for me, but the overall album was well-written and well-produced, and not a bad listen for a slow Sunday morning.
It was pretty good, Ms Dolly
Wenn Country, dann Dolly. Gut, aber dann halt doch etwas zu viel Country ***1/2
I enjoy Dolly Parton, so it pains me that while this album is critically acclaimed, and while the narrative lyrics are earnest and well written, the music and the arrangement itself is fairly generic and samey for country music, particular in the 1970s and becomes a tad boring after awhile. "Coat of Many Colors" and "Here I Am" were the only tracks I truly enjoyed off this album. Everything else was meh.
Entertainment
Een prima vermakelijk country album! Beetje poppy, dat wel, maar Dolly heeft een goede stem waar ik me niet snel aan irriteer. Lekker dik Amerikaans accent, het heeft allemaal wel een bepaalde charme. Met een half uurtje is het ook een lekker kort album, wat ik na bijna 300 albums op deze lijst altijd errrrrg kan waarderen. Vind ik dit 4 sterren waard? Nah, ik zou het niet afzetten als iemand dit aanheeft, ik zou er prima een uur of 2 naar kunnen luisteren, maar ik vind dit net niet spannend genoeg om er super enthousiast over te worden. Lekker prima country album, Dolly is een topper joh FAVO: Coat of many colors, Travelling Man, Early morning breeze
Such a lovely voice. Not wildly enamoured by this album, but it was nice to listen to.
This was my first time listening to a Dolly Parton album. I wasn't expecting it to be so contentful and wholesome. Dolly doesn't write cheap rhymes. While I'm not anxious to listen to more country, I liked this album way more than I expected.
Perus kantria. Osa akustista, osa enemmän rock. Parhaat: My Blue Tears, Coat Of Many Colors
I like Dolly - got a heart of gold and it is reflected in her music.
She is a very good songwriter.
Such a distinct voice. Dolly could sing any song and have it come through with such emotion. Title of album, song is so powerful!
a queen an icon !!
Parton is an excellent song writer but she is limited by the constraints of mainstream country music
Easy listening. Nobody can dislike Dolly.
Easy-listening, will need to give it another spin to get the most out of this and identify favourites
Surprisingly enjoyed this country album
3.3 stars rounded down
I will give this a little listen. Definitely not a country fan at all. I respect the classic country, like a-Dolly Parton. Pretty good though. I am pretty sure she is young during this record.
Dope
I like Dolly, nice to listen to a country-style album once in a blue moon. However, nothing really that catching.
This was perfectly pleasant without being life changing
I'm going to give her a 3 because it's Dolly Parton. But I'd be lying if I said I enjoyed this in any way. Just a bit too much of the old country sound. Happy for the listen, but would not revisit. 3
3 Dolly Parton is genuinely someone I respect the hell out of and admire as both a person and musician, but as far as listening to her actual music goes - meh. This album is fine, and Dolly has an iconic voice and all, but it doesn’t do much to really stand apart from a lot of other country albums from this era, at least for me - though, there’s admittedly a touch of charisma to Dolly’s music that puts her above some of her peers. Things start strongly enough with Coat of Many Colors and Traveling Man, both of which have a strong sense of storytelling to them and even a bit of humor with the latter in particular, but I feel like songs start running together very quickly after that. The only track that really stood out to me as remarkably enjoyable after the first two was Early Morning Breeze, which I think largely benefits from Dolly’s delicate vocals, though I will give a dishonorable mention to Mystery of the Mystery for its redundantly dumb name and chorus. However, one song I do want to give a special shoutout to is the closer, A Better Place to Live. While I wouldn’t call it an outright favorite, I do love its messaging, and perhaps more importantly, the reminder it serves as to Dolly is truly being one of the most accepting and loving people in a musical genre notoriously tied with bigots. Though I didn’t love this album as a whole, I think the world would be a much better place if modern country music sounded more like this and less like Try This in a Small Town.
Okay album. Not very much my taste, but I can see why it's a classic,
Title track is pleasant and Travelling Man is a bit of a bop. Then it gets a bit too country but there's more stuff in here I like in the second half: Early Morning Breeze in particular is a great song that leans more folk than country to me. The Way I See You is strong with nice piano backing, and Here I Am has pretty melodies and powerful vocals. Cool bassline too. I can't rate this higher but the second side is worth listening to at the very least.
Great country album and wonderful story telling. Got a bit preachy at the end but pretty good album
Better than expected
I love Coat of Many Colors and a couple of other songs. One of my preferred country albums it's just this isn't my genre really
this album is pretty short clocking at around 27 minutes so the listen went by pretty quick. im not sure where else i heard dolly parton from but i didnt really enjoy this album all so much. it was a boring listen imo since everything sounded samey. country isnt something that i listen to often but i feel like im better off listening to someone else like townes van zandt. the album itself is tolerable but i wouldnt listen to it again. 3 personal favs: my blue tears
Old school traditional country music. Dolly is legend and magnificent talent. Nuff said.
it was intriguing when i first saw the album i thought ehhhhh some country crap turns out it was nice highlights: if i lose my mind, early breeze track
The songs in general lean on sentimentality too much and lose much of their strength because of that. But in terms of lyrics and music, this is a well built album which I think captures what Dolly Parton wanted to express. She is an excellent artist, but not one that appeals to me. Well worth listening to and she definitely shows thoughtfulness in her songs that I admire. Her themes of relationships are sometimes very run-of-the-mill, but more often, she creates a narrative that is hers with her own insights.
3.0
Proper old school country
Country aint my cup of tea, but this album wasnt bad. The songs in my opinion would be better to listen on a drive or playing cowboy video games like Red Dead.
It's hard to turn down a Dolly Parton album, even one with a truly creepy cover like this one. (And now that I find out that it's a painting based on a school photo taken the day she wore the titular coat of many colors, I feel badly feeling creeped out by the album cover. Even worse, it sounds like she was treated much worse by her schoolmates than in the song: "the other children stripped the coat off of her and locked her, half naked and screaming, in a dark coat closet. She says this is why she always sleeps with a light on now." Yikes.) I've never been a huge fan of this kind of classic country music, but it's hard to deny that this has a lot of really strong songs, most of them written by Dolly Parton, and great lyrical stories. (And an interesting crossover-sounding song in "Here I Am".) Thanks, Dolly!
Had never listened to this before. Now I can see the plain copy that Barbara Jean was from Nashville. All of her songs sound exactly like Dolly.
country... nog zo'n genre waar ik weinig mee heb...nu, dan valt Double D Dolly nog mee, alles beter dan een redneck met bruin gedachtengoed
Some country music I actually like. And Dolly is a tremendous person. Early Morning Breeze is a song I’ll come back to
Lovely
Dollywood baby
Stabiles Country-Album mit unverwechselbarer Stimme.
This didn't stand out for me - maybe it's just that Dolly has so many hits I'm expecting to hear them.
I liked Traveling Man and A Better Place To Live. Kinda neutral about the rest.
As much as i'd like to like this it leaves me cold. Dolly has such a beautiful voice, such a lovely talented person as well.
This album is a bit more country than I usually listen to, and I didn't enjoy it as much because of that. I can hear how the Dixie Chicks were inspired by some of these tracks, especially "Coat of Many Colors." "Early Morning Breeze" and "Here I Am" are probably my favorites, and the ones I'd be most likely to listen to on my own.
Classic Dolly. Great musicianship somewhat undercut by the simplicity and subject matter of the album. Great intro album to her strongest material.
A bit boring, and the title song is overly sentimental. But a nice short album that doesn't overstay its welcome
these felt like a bunch of songs written for a very different type of woman than me. just not my thing but enjoyable enough.
Dolly is a gem and I really miss country music that sounds like this.
Like Coat of Many Colors, Traveling Man, Early Morning Breeze. Other tracks nice, but probably wouldn't go back again.
I can't hate on Dolly, but she just isn't my thing.
Completely fine!
I think dolly’s a wonderful songwriter and really enjoyed several songs but probably wouldn’t sit down with the album again
classic country.
How many men are gonna break poor Dolly's heart?
Classic country. Dolly does have a good voice.
None of her very famous songs so I didn't recognise any. Was interesting enough that I never wanted to skip through them all though
"i found it quite annoying" - my Mum
I justt wish her lyrics had that extra bit of depth. She's 11/10 woman though.
B- Coat Of Many Colors 3 Traveling Man 3 My Blue Tears 3 If I Lose My Mind 3 The Mystery Of The Mystery 3 She Never Met A Man (She Didn't Like) 3 Early Morning Breeze 3 The Way I See You 4 Here I Am 3 A Better Place To Live 3 Pretty average for a woman with MASSIVE KNO-
Somehow Dolly can make me enjoy this kinda stuff.
Classic
Wouldn’t be my type of music, but got to give it to Dolly she is a legend and should Be in the book.
Pleasant enough but not really a genre of interest.
Dolly Parton's voice is too high pitched in this album for me to really enjoy it. A re-recording of it would land it 5/5 imo.
That was nice
Despite not being a big Dolly Parton fan I listen to the album. I enjoyed Early Morning Breeze and the title track Coat of many colors. I can see why this is considered a classic Dolly Parton album.
Its good
Great songwriting. Went well under my radar.
Country, which can be fun. Enjoyed some tracks. A bit too gee-whillickers homespun wisdom at times.
Doesn't do for me what it does to Rolfe. Voice is a little bit wobbly for me, and it's a bit too twee in too many places for me. Better than a couple of the recent country efforts that we've had, but doesn't do enough to trouble the better ones for me. 3/5.
Great storytelling with a pinch of humour.
Well I enjoyed that way more than I thought I would. Liked the first 2 songs and Here I Am, but Early Morning Breeze is my favourite. Some excellent song writing with a sense of humour.
Classic Country w/ Dolly
