Trio

Nothing wrong with this, it's just very unspecial.

A rather heartbreaking record with simple instrumentation and great singing performances. 6/10

Three legends come together and basically do covers and country standards. Great voices, but kind of disappointing due to the lack of new material.

Very nice!

Despite my hatred for country, Dolly is the one person I can tolerate. Her voice is genuinely enjoyable. I would almost consider giving a 4, but I think in comparison to everything it can’t be that high.

Country is almost as "un-preferential" a genre that I can find, mostly because the musical construction of the songs are always so predictable to me. Also - hey, sue me - I don't like the too-often overly twangy vocal dialects. So there has to be something different - vastly different - for me to even make it through an album. As we go deeper into this list I have found some subtle country dividing lines - most notably that I *vastly* prefer women singers here. And on this album Dolly Parton especially shines - she's someone whose music I'd never sought out but she really is a fantastic singer to listen to (especially that I generally don't care for most singers). Something about her voice that even though she's clearly got a beautiful voice she never seems to overdo it like so many do. Some of these songs are still lousy / soaked-in-80s-schmalz ("Telling Me Lies" is painful) but at its best it's ... pleasant. And that's not a bad thing. Definitely worth a 3 for respect and frankly none of the 3 overdo it vocally which is what makes it work. 6/10 3 stars.

Those memories - Très sympa et entraînante. L'instru est chouette

I recognize the talent of the three of them, but this is not the music for me. The harmonies sounded great, but the style just didn’t do it for me.

🤠

It’s solid, like I don’t love any of these three’s music honestly but it’s still good 3/5

I don't think I am knowledgeable enough in this area of music to really rate this properly. To me it sounded good and the singers are extremely capable, but the music is also feels like pretty generic country music. Nothing I want to throw myself over again, but it was a pretty calm listen and if I'm in the mood for country I could put this on for sure. I just hope for their sake that the album cover picture was done as satire or a joke, and not in seriousness. Though I'm not sure how much humour Dolly Patron & co. has, so it's hard to know.

great singing

This one was a little tough to rate for me. I went in with great anticipation. However, I don’t particularly like this style of neo Americana. The chemistry in this album is so strong, though, that I was on over, anyway. Each singer gets a chance to take center stage, but at all times, the harmonies are incredible.

This is the kind of country music that is meant to break your heart. I suppose if I allowed myself to get caught up in it, it may be effective even on me. Parton, Ronstadt, and Harris have great voices and are amazing performances but I'm not sure about the song choices. My general unfamiliarity with country music may be limiting my appreciation of the songs but I have a suspicion that this album's late 80s release date has something to do with it. I compare these tunes with the original songs on Loretta Lynn's Van Lear Rose from 2004. I do like The Pain of Loving You, Wildflowers, and Those Memories of You. I don't like the dead hobo one.

Very relaxing without ever being annoying. Solid country music. 3 stars for the 3 voices. 📣📣📣

3.75

Three very distinct voices within the country world, brought together to make standout songs. Throw in David Lindley and Albert Lee and you got yourself a pretty solid band! The harmonies are beautiful and the songs, albeit a bit sappy at time, are very traditional and well crafted. 7.5 out of 10

Love these ladies but this album was a snoozer

What a trio. The Linda Ronstadt bits were my favourite. Still a bit country for mine but I appreciate this for what it is.

Some lovely sweet country vibes. Hang on, wasn't that yesterday?

overall decent country but nothing i thought was really special, enjoyed the pain of loving you and wildflowers

I quite liked this one, more than I would have expected for country. Really liked the way their voices harmonize. 3.5 stars

This was jolly. A pretty good collaboration that throws up some fine songs.

Its all fine but a bit bland. The 3 voices are great and it holds well as an album. The songs all seem to be about relationship troubles. Twang twang yeaaaah. Country.

Love Dolly and Linda….Emmylou is really hard to detect her voice. Not much of a fan of the harmonies…. Old style country songs sung by three iconic ladies. Average at best. 3/5

Their voices together sound so bright and pure. Not what I’d normally listen to but pleasant.

I generally like Dolly Parton, Linda Ronstadt, and Emmylou Harris, but I haven't sought out much of their work on my own. I was happy to see this suggestion come up because of the possibilities. The album was good and I enjoyed it enough, but I finished the album wondering if the music had truly showcased the talents of all three of the artists on this album. Perhaps I wasn't in the mood for as many sad love songs. Nothing was bad on the album, but I might not come back for a re-listen. "Rosewood Casket" adn "Hobo's Meditation" were the tracks I rated the highest, with "The Pain of Loving You" a close third.

Country Bears music. But Country Beats music done well.

Three stars.

Never knew about this collab. Pretty cool.

One star each.

I respect all 3 artists, but all together this doesn't do much. In fact I may prefer them each solo.

All respect to Dolly and Emmylou (Ronstadt, with her penchant for soft, adult-contemporary vibes, was by far the weak link here) but I really struggle with the sad-sack country crooner schtick. I just hate it so much. But, as I listened, it grew on me. Well, some of the songs did. When it was country, it was alright. When it was adult contemporary, it was awful. And when it was bluegrass, it was fire. Seriously, I felt like I got musical whiplash going from "Those Memories of You" (a gut-busting bluegrass jam) to "I've Had Enough" (a flaccid adult contemporary turd) and it killed the experience for me, honestly. I'll never listen to this again but, at the end of the day, I can respect it even if I don't like it.

Good but not my style.

Relaxing

Massive talents.

Nice ladies.

j'ai eu un sneak peek imprévu de l'album d'aujourd'hui dans la radio qui a suivi l'album et contre toute attente cetait lourdingue

Not bad but boring. I have huge respect for Parton tho

This was a fun listen. I love dolly, I like Linda.

Some songs were ok. Others were too "churchy" sounding for me lol.

I *hate* modern country music. But this, I can handle listening to. Beautiful voices singing meaningful songs. You can’t really complain about that, can you?

This is really lovely. Out of this world harmonies. Three gorgeous vocals singing as one, and it's pretty great. This album mixes a traditional vibe with an 80s sheen, which isn't the most exciting use of the talent involved. But the simplicity of the songs helps keep them from sounding too dated. Fave Songs: To Know Him Is to Love Him, Those Memories of You, The Pain of Loving You, Rosewood Casket, Making Plans, I've Had Enough

A sweet, relaxed album. Dolly Parton is one of those artists that make country music listenable. - i was surprised Phil Spector wrote one of the songs on this album. That guy really was everywhere back then.

Good

Country. Aburrido.

No denying that these women are incredible song writers, singers, performers. Not really my style of music, but you've gotta appreciate it.

3.5

Country. Ni fu ni fa.

The sweetest country album I've ever heard. Iike drowning in the see of riffled dresses and white aprons.

Three Country music legends team up to sing country. Pretty good. Nothing memorable for me, though.

It's three greats being great together, but as often is the case with these things it never exceeds the sum of its parts. Hobo's Meditation is the exception to this - it's ace!

It’s fine. 6/10

Love Dolly!

It’s a good album. A little slow and very country but dolly has a very good voice.

It's country. It's ok, I can't say anything bad about the singers and the songs, but overall it's an album that I will not listen to again.

well written and sung album, almost like keening poetry at times. I've not heard projects from this trio in their capacity - but it looks like they were a force to behold in the days of yore, and I feel this was a solid introduction for all three!

Just a trio of country gals hymning and singing away on the prairie. I loved their voices even when the songs themselves felt old and antiquated. Like the same way I love old Christmas songs. No keepers, but overall really enjoyed.

Not bad at all! Great country harmonies from three titans of the industry. I think we've had an album from Dolly and Emmylou so far, nothing from Linda yet. Nothing too crazy but a solid project to be sure. Gets me in the country dancing sort of mood. Favorite tracks: The Pain of Loving You, Hobo's Meditation, My Dear Companion. Album art: A picture of the trio, fitting, but the framing and font around this thing really sells it. As far as band photos go, this one is way up there! Love the western backdrop as well. 3.5/5

Hade jag gillat det så hade jag tyckt om det jättemycket.

Alla som kritiserar Dolly Parton får med mig att göra. Dock är denna skivan inte det mest fantastiska som gjorts.

not bad

I enter this hesitantly. Country + 80's... FEAR. Nice voices so far. Not overly punishingly 80's thus far. Somewhat boring but not really offensive. Heading for a 3 here.

You can feel the heart in these songs. This is good country.

Solid old country, loved the way the three of them sound when singing together. Will have to dive more into Dolly Parton.

Helaas, fan van alle drie de dames maar samen was het wat te zoetsappig. Jammer

Some fun hear, but wish they'd made it in the 70s rather than 80s

onpas nyt sydän rikki! kaksi ekaa biisiä ovat oikein hyviä, ja loppujenkin stemmat liikuttavat. keskittyminen tosin herpaantuu välillä, ovat niin perusbiisejä lajissaan.

Great collaborative album from three iconic artists, the harmonies on these somewhat simple and stripped down country songs are phenomenal.

3.75

6,5/10

I need to listen to more Dolly

Very nice

This is an old one my parents played often.

I got a sick feeling when refreshing my screen and seeing this as the album for the day. It makes me feel like I'm in some shitty buffet outside of Nashville with grandma. Im scooping potatos next to a fat lady wearing a dress with a vest and all I can think about is the sweet release of death. I did my duty in listening and while my initial assessment was a bit over blown I still picture my self at a buffet.

The pain of loving you - sounds like she needs to drop this man Making plans - nice emotions in voice👍 To know him is to love him - this song doesn't do much for me Hobo's meditation- asking the important logistical questions about living arrangements in heaven Wildflowers - couldn't be me but a bop. This is a great song👍 Telling me lies- bars, men are trash👍 My dear companion and the memories of you - both reiterations of making plans but in the future I've had enough - finally She's leaving him. This is a well written song but too slow for me Rosewood casket - meh Farther along - this doesn't work it you don't believe in God Very nice harmonies, pleasant album 3/5

3 titans of their respective genres. What a mix. Maybe too slow for my taste at times but great nonetheless

m-a luat puțin somnul și erau cam multe backing vocals la un moment dat dar destul de ok în rest 3/5

Too much twang for my taste, but it has some really nice songs.

The Pain of Loving You - kicsit country ABBA vibeja van, nem minden esetben hallgatnám de tényleg egész jó 10/8 Making Plans - ez is country Összességében nem olyan rossz most biztos végig nem hallgatom az egészet Egy fokkal jobb mint az előző de nem az én vibeom még mindig

Solid country classics. Not my jam, but very listenable.

Only really liked the songs where Dolly was the lead singer. What can I say, I love Dolly, I don’t like county.

Listened Before? N Well, this is some 80's country if I've ever heard any! But, this album is exploding with talent. These three were all big names of their day, and their collaboration comes off extremely well! Dolly, of course, is the standout here, but the other two lend their voices to the album beautifully. I loved this, especially the more upbeat songs. That said: that's what the album is missing. More upbeat numbers. The Pistol Annies did the three-female collaboration better, years later. Added to Library? N Songs added to playlist: Those Memories of You

At last, a country music supergroup album. Y'know, there are times when the beautiful harmonies and simple guitar chord progressions of old-school country songs really hit the spot. These times usually only last 15-20 minutes though and then I get a bit bored.

Pleasant voices. I'm not familiar enough with Linda and Emmylou to determine who was who. Only Hobo's Meditation caught my attention.

This was all a bit samey, didn't really do much for me. I saw another reviewer label this as "country gospel" and that rings kinda true - most of the songs have the rhythm and feel of church hymns, and as I'm a product of Church of England, that means plodding slowness and not enough variation to be interesting... Fave track - "Making Plans", maybe, or "Those Memories of You". It's all much of a muchness though...

Ok, just to know

It's all trash, but this list somehow pulls the most tolerable country albums out there. Damn. Hard to hate such calming folk music, with some pieces appealing to 80s adult contemporary audiences. 3 singers in under 40 minutes so you don't get too tired of it by the time its over. Enjoyed the harmonious vocals. Doesn't try to be loud or obnoxious. I wouldn't consider any of these tracks to be essential or even interesting, but it's coherent pleasurable. I had actually heard "Wildflowers" before. Favorites: To Know Him is to Love Him, Hobo's Meditation

A fan of Dolly and a few of her songs, but this album was just okay. Great harmonies, but overstays its welcome.

A bit unfair to list this as a Dolly Parton record - by name alone it's a Trio of Dolly, Linda Ronstadt and Emmy Lou Harris. The sound is a perfect blend of all three voices and only the occasional track is Dolly-heavy.

Very cowgirl jams/western lady vibes. It’s not normally my thing, but I didn’t hate it.

Good country, good stories Hobo's meditation was good

Okay first off it’s Dolly so i’m excited

The trio has strong voices and a good sense of harmony, but a lot of the tracks blend together. I'm also not huge on country, even if I respect the craft and absolutely adore Dolly Parton as a person. I probably won't be coming back to this one.

Trying hard to like Dolly Parton, I dk if this is the intro album though

Sweet and catchy 80s country. I enjoyed it but I wouldn't listen again.

I like the idea of this style of country existing into in the late 80s - from my limited knowledge I feel like it may have been a throwback, and that's cool - but the three harmonies started to get a bit sickly sweet towards the end. It relied too heavily on them and at 40min without any real variety that was a bit much. Still an easy 3/5 though - nice concept and pleasant enough tunes.

La country est un genre de musique totalement inefficace et sans effet dans les oreilles de n'importe quel ressortissant européen, et ce n'est pas ces trois greluches pleines de bonne volonté qui y changera quelque chose.

Nous avons déjà à de multiples reprises exprimé notre mécontentement à l'égard de la musique country, ce n'est certainement pas en triplant la dose de pétasses américaines que nous allons changer notre fusil d'épaule.

Strong album. Worth a 3.5, but not a 4. Highlighted by a couple strong singles, but there is not a low point in the album filled with competent country songs.

Some good ol country but didn't love all of them.

ei tää tälläne folk-ish musiikki oo oikeen mun juttu. Toki poikkeuksia löytyy mutta ei jotenki itelle uppoa tällane. Ei edes wildfloers uponnut vaikka on todella kuunneltu kappale. Kuitenkin, kuunneltavaa mutta ei yksi sellainen joka jokaisen pitää edes kerran elämässään kuulla. 4/10

Vocally good, but musically bare and not my style. Listened to 75%.

Allot of songs sounded the same, very slow paced, I was really bored 🤷‍♀️

Too slow

Not for me

they're all legends, all have exceptional voices... but i really don't care for this kind of music, the songs just kinda blend into each other. did not have a good time

Was really looking forward to hearing these great artists together. Great voices but together it was a bit too much and the songs themselves weren't that great. Best thing on it was the Neil Young cover

I love country and respect Dolly but that was too schmaltzy for me

Did they do this on purpose? The queen Dolly passed away today at 80 years of age. The radio has been playing her tunes on repeat. The news stations are running the same obit package over and over. Anyway! This album is way too twee and country for me. Lovely harmonies, but can’t stand it. Barely made it through a full listen. RIP Dolly Parton.

Aburridisimo country. Encima me tocó porque falleció la Dolly. Sino quizás zafaba. 3/10

Don't want slain anyone right after she dies - but DAMN this is a boring album I’d also rather gauge my ears out than listen to I’ve had enough again.

Quite boring for having three incredible singers.

The vocals steal the show on this record - they're warming, rich and beautifully harmonised. Other than that, the album doesn't grip me at all. The pace is too slow, meandering & one-note - resulting in sadly, quite a boring listen. It's clearly an album of quality but not one that's up my street. 5/10.

Lovely. Not really my thing

This team-up of country legends focuses more on delivering tried-and-true country tunes than on going outside of the artists' comfort zone. Outside of some synths in the background of "Telling Me Lies" that almost push the song into sophisti-pop territory, everything here sounds like it could have been recorded 15 years earlier. This is probably a positive thing for fans of the artists who were excited for the collaboration, but for a casual fan of the genre it makes this not much more than a curiosity. The songs are merely fine, mostly ballads with lyrics that are emotional but limited by how broad and free of detail they are. The vocals are the highlight by far, there are some really lovely harmonies here. Definitely not a bad listen but certainly not an exciting one either.

It's all very sad, but no. Heard before ❌️ Listened this time ❌️ Revisit ❌️ ★★☆☆☆(4/10) Default Total reviewed : 416 Already owned : 93 Purchased : 21 To buy : 5 Nope : 297

I salute the manipulation of the 1001 algorithm which has given many of us a Dolly album today. As many have said, for her contributions to music (albeit to a genre I am not massively keen on) but even more so for just being a wonderful person, she deserves to be listened to. This album still isn’t going to win me over to loving country music, despite the beautiful voices on display. These songs appear to be largely cover versions and if that was intended as a showcase of the glories of country music, it unfortunately reinforced that it’s not really my thing.

RIP Dolly. This wasn't all that great but the one track Dolly solely wrote and sang was my favorite from this.

This is way more boring than I expected from three powerhouse legends.

Muy lindo, muy de su estilo ranchero güero.

RIP to Dolly. I'll revisit this one. It's a supergroup album?

County and western. Marks the sad deaths of DP. Legend but still not my cuppa.

2,3/5

The 1001 editors should really be ashamed of this choice, which is obviously an effort to get “credit” for naming 3 super-talented Country-Americana artists in 1 album. Each of these performers is incredibly influential, and has muktiple 5⭐️albums. But this album is not an influential album. The project design (3 great vocalists) forces a certain kind of harmony into every song and there’s an emphasis on love songs with stilted wording. It’s not a great album, even though the singing is lovely. The 1001 album editors should have included the 3 most influential albums from each of these amazing performers, rather than go for the easy out of “Trio”. This album is a 2.

I like Dolly, but not a fan of this one, and given the collaboration, it’s not a great representation of her work. Maybe that’s not the point? Is to me! Rest in peace Dolly!

..

Skipped through. I really cannot find anything interesting about songs like this.

Mooie meerstemmige zang, prettige achtergrondmuziek. (Acoustisch). Iets teveel country voor mijn smaak.

I liked it more than I expected

Country doesn't do much for me.

Country doesn't do much for me.

I am sure this is a great album for people who get more enjoyment from this genre. All my ratings and rankings are really just my personal feelings and opinions so that is why this is so low. I love Dolly Parton's voice, and some of these are catchy, but I'd never listen to this album and it's unlikely I even listen to many of the songs again.

i dont really like country music

Dolly har gjort ett antal riktigt bra låtar, men dom är inte med på detta album. För mycket old school country för min smak men inte dåligt.

Наслаждаться прислушиванием кантри музыки – непосильная задача для меня. Это очень скучно и монотонно

First of all, Dolly Parton sadly died yesterday. R.I.P, she seemed like a great person and made some great music, my negative opinion from this album doesn't reflect my feelings about the people involved, they're all fantastic, but this album doesn't present them that way. The cover is absolutely horrendous, but the music is also pretty awful! There were a couple tracks early on that I enjoyed, but after 'Wildflowers', there wasn't a single song that stood out and some were actually bad. It's a shame, each member is immensely talented, but together, they made one of the most generic and boring albums that I have ever heard.

Nice timing with this album selection. Dolly died the day before you provided this album for rating (25 Aug 2026). Her voice is transcendent. She was a good human. But the album isn't on my list of top albums.

Oooh man, I can only listen to these masterful voices being sad about a man for so long! Beautiful music, not for me

This was my album the day after Dolly died, and it irks me that I didn't enjoy it. I don't exactly know what I want when I listen to country, I feel like I'm either looking for something like "I'm the only hell my moma ever raised" or something more devastating than anything found on this album, like "he stopped loving her today". This is all a bit too low energy and milquetoast

Not the biggest fan. Its a 2 star for me.

One day after her death at 80 - Dolly pops up on the generator. I know of Dolly through her music and philanthropy - she is an icon for many. I'm unfamiliar with the other two so almost going in blind here. _________________________________ Very mellow country-folk easy listening with vocal harmonies. It's far and away from any music I get, and for the majority of the album listen it didn't move me much. I'm not a lyrics guy, and like rap lots of the emotion and drive gets lost on me here. Wildflowers is at least empowering amidst a sea of breakup songs. Musically it's snoozing in the sun on a summer day with a cool drink. It's there to amplify the vocals and not much more. Steel guitar, minimal rhythm section and traditional American instruments provide a sparse arrangement of backdrops to frame the vocal talent of Dolly, Linda and Emmylou. 2*

First Dolly album coming up the day after her death was announced. Credit to her as a person, but not digging the music much. I didn't actively dislike anything on it, didn't enjoy much of it either.

no way i pulled dolly the day after she died...

2.6

¿Será que a todos los que no habíamos escuchado ningún álbum de Dolly Parton nos pusieron uno como homenaje justo después de su muerte o solo fue una coincidencia que me tocara a mí? En fin, ni lo excelente persona y artista que fue Dolly, que es a la única de las tres cantantes de este álbum que conozco, pueden salvar que no me guste, y más que nada es por el género. QEPD Dolly Parton.

I just don't get country. Maybe it's because I'm European.

Ух ти ж, трясця) Що воно таке? Кантрі бляха(

Obv Rip Dolly and that but this was awful

No fav song

Not my thing but pleasant enough

i don’t like country, but RIP Dolly

263. ok

I know Parton just died, but I'm having trouble finding this album interesting. Country as a genre is pretty bland to begin with, and this doesn't really do anything to stray from that. Coat of Many Colors was definitely better than this.

Well, this was inevitable on the day after Dolly died. Look, I don't like Country. Beyond the fact that the genre features skilled musicians, there is nothing redeemable in the genre. But Dolly was cool. She cared about people - all people - and had no time for the idiocacy of Maga, misogyny, racism, homophobia, the war on intelligence, and all of the other nonsense spewed by the right. She also made some decent crossover songs. She also had a hand in the greatest TV show of all time - Buffy The Vampire Slayer. So RIP Dolly. The other two ladies...sure. If you enjoy Country music, then go on right ahead enjoying it.

Sorry Dolly, but I really don't like country, no matter how good a person you were

please no country... +1 for not being a inbred redneck

The host of this website it killing famous people on this list so then the next day they can send me the appropriate album. First Ozzy now Dolly

This was ok for what it is but didn’t do anything for me really. Can’t really say much more. I never knew these three collaborated.

The vocal harmonies at times are lovely but they're wrapped up in very ponderous and one paced songwriting that makes this feel much longer than it's relatively brief 38 minute runtime. RIP Dolly

Good voices but I just can’t abide country music. A lot of songs about how shitty men are in the southern states of the USA, which sort of makes sense since they brought about segregation and Trump. I realise that I’m getting this in the wake of Dolly Parton’s death, she seemed like a good person but country music is terrible so that’s of no relevance. The artwork is atrocious also. A note to Apple, no genre boundaries have been erased here, it’s all country. Just in case others are expecting Dolly to suddenly transform into a rock singer halfway through.

This must have been a stratospheric event in Country music back then. Three legendary singers making an album together with a traditional country style right in the middle of the 80's? Sounds like something of a godsend for fans of the genre. Unfortunately, I'm not a country fan so all of that is lost on me. I can appreciate the idea, but I'm that into the music.

Ok

I like harmonies fine, but...too much Gospel and Country and Folk for my taste.

mwah, gewoon meer country

Not my thing.

Med risk för att häda, men det här är tyvärr ingen bra platta. Låtmaterialet är oerhört svagt och det blir bara sällsynt magisk samverkan mellan tre så starka röster. Tycker faktiskt t.o.m. att Linda och Dolly inte gifter sig så bra ihop (Emmylou funkar förstås med allt och alla), nåt skaver för mig där. Skivan är bäst på mitten, med Linda Thompsons "Telling me lies" som överlägset bästa spår. Vilket i sig kanske inte är nån bubblare men inget annat är ens i närheten säger en hel del om bristen i låtmarerialet. Omslaget är dock fantastiskt Fredrik, med tjenerna som klippdockor i innerknovolutet i bara underkläder som man ska klä i passande countryoutfit. Slätstrucken tvåa

Musiken är bättre än omslaget i alla fall. Men alla medlemmar i den här trion har var och en betydligt bättre soloalbum på meritlistan. Dollys Wildflowers är bästa spåret.

RIP Dolly. Fin sång på detta album men tyvärr inte så spännande. Gillar hennes stora hits mer.

Meh

honestly dolly parton is amazing and undoubtably a good musician, this album just isnt my favorite

It's fine. I expected more. Not much else to add. 3 keepers in 11 (27%). 2 stars.

not my taste!

holy timing

She’s got a good voice and rest in peace to a legend but I’m not really feeling it. Good songs in sections maybe but not whole album. Sorry but it’s a 2.5. It’s not bad by no means but not my style. Can see a big country fan this is a 4 For me 2.5

I liked this a fair bit more than the last Dolly Parton album. Maybe it's just that I like having more harmonies. The mixing generally seemed better too. Still fairly bland. I'm split between 2 and 2.5, so I'll round down just for bell curve reasons. 2/5

Pas trop mon style,

‘Rosewood casket’ has a lot more poignancy after recent events. Really dislike traditional Country music but am giving it an extra star out of respect for Dolly

As great a philanthropists and all around good person as Dolly is, I really wish I liked her music more. I can hear the fantastic harmony and blend that these ladies have, I but the actual music just doesn't do much for me.

Not bad at all, and their voices harmonize well together ... but it is lacking songs that grab you in any way; feels more like a calculated effort. Edit: I just learned that there is a Trio II album which has much better songs.

RIP Dolly and all but not sure why this is on the list vs her Coat Of Many Colours which I still wasn't mega fond of but totally understood it being on. I guess something to be said for a girlboss country supergroup, which must be a first and last

Nice harmonies and some nice lap steel but god this was dull. RIP Dolly.

RIP but not for me.

The music is boring ah, but Dolly was a real one.

RIP Dolly Parton 🫶 This album makes me realize how much her modern reputation preceded her. Personally not a fan of this 80s ballad-style of country that is just too "same-y" (2.5).

Not really my thing, but not offensive

RIP Dolly Parton, leider trotzdem nicht meins. Zu seierig, zu dünn. Ich mag Country lieber düster und rauchig.

Auch wenn Dolly gerade verstorben ist: Finde ich wenig prickelnd und vor allem kitschig. Wobei es schon einen winzigen Teil in mir gibt, der sich damit wohl fühlt...

These are technically sounds, and there are words being spoken over them.

Dolly= Icon Trio = Ican’t

I do wonder if this album just happens to be coming up the day after Dolly Parton’s death... While they - just like Emmylou Harris and Linda Ronstadt - can point to impressive solo careers, this “trio” is on the disappointing side of country music: extremely simple and even shallow songs, though at least professionally produced (Leland Sklar on bass!) and sung - it’s by no means unbearable, but it’s not particularly good either, and certainly not innovative. Sure, the three ladies can sing harmonies - but any halfway-talented choir singer can do that. Why exactly is this an album you must have heard?

Keep trying still not a fan of this music. I respect it just don't like it

It feels much more dated than 1987, I was surprised when I saw this after listening. It's a bit too church hymn-y for me and real middle of the road easy listening

It was pretty much what I expected but duller. It didnt do much for me Im afraid

Well, it was always going to be this. Dolly was very admirable, long may her Imagination Library live on. Can't say the same for this album honestly. Their voices work together though, and I expected it to be worse. Tick tock Emmylou...

Um disco de country tradicional em 1987? Anacrônico de desnecessário!

RIP Dolly Parton. Goes without saying she was an absolute legend with an all time voice. Unfortunately this album didn’t do anything for me. Gotta score it like I would any other day. I was pretty bored by the end of it. I will say though I listened to most of Jolene afterwards. Infinitely better album for me. Quite surprised it isn’t on the list. If it had been, from what I’ve heard, it would probably be getting a 4 star.

Pra quem é fã do gênero, deve ser um disco mais relevante. Para quem não é, dá pra morrer sem ouvir.

Dolly just not for me

Bit boring 2/5

Sorry, but this balad Dolly ain't my cup of tea.

rip

meh total. 5/10

Not my style, but alright

Beautiful voices but can’t get into the slow country twang.

Not my genre.

Not the best of Parton

This is sweet but a bit too corny for me

I think the project is cool, I like it when artists who easily stand on their own collaborate anyway, it's something I wish to see more often. Having said, their music isn't my jam individually, and like others observed, this isn't musically superior to their solo works. Like many others I got this album the day after Dolly died, so it was nice to listen to as a homage, but I'll rate this as if I had gotten it on any other day.

Very well timed. Pretty enjoyable!

A bit slow for me but they have nice country voices.

As a non-country fan, this wasn't horrible. Still doesn't get me to listen to this more than this one time.

R.I.P Dolly she had a great voice. This album not bad all voices on it are superb. I don't mind country but this is stereotypical country music it is a bit bland and fluffy T.V version on a Saturday night. It lacks it has on depth the lyrics are wishy washy unfortunately not offensive but not great or at least not my taste

Not the one

God bless Dolly Parton.. that said, I can’t stand 80’s country music production

Three incredible women coming together for one alright album.

County, 1987 -> 2

It's very straight down the line, generic country, which started to feel like a slog after only 2-3 tracks. But you know, they have nice voices if that's your bag. 2.5 rounded down. Farewell Dolly, you were too good for this world. RIP legend.

Brave tutte. Ciao dolly

Depressing

Listened before? No Rating D+ Shoutout what Dolly did for so many people and the influence she had on the world. Didn't enjoy the album much but RIP.

Rest in peace Dolly, but this isn’t any good. All three ladies have very nice voices, but I don’t think the album changes in any way if you only have one person singing. Instrumentally, it’s inoffensive and uninteresting. The writing isn’t terrible, but basic. All these things add together to create an incredibly uninteresting listen.

Pa iskreno nije moj đir, em je country em mi je presporo/lagano. Nijedna stvar mi se nije baš dojmila da bi ju ikada poslušao ponovno

Country vibe- not my style Although they sing amazing

Joa, Country halt

RIP Dolly, maar dit trio is niet helemaal mijn vibe

I recognize the quality of the music here, especially the singing. But it's just not for me.

I like country and all three of these wonderful gals but bloody hell every song sounds the exact same I had to stop a little over halfway through

RIP DOLLY!! Unfortunately this album didn’t hit for me. Love a bit of country but this was a lil generic.

Rest in power to an absolute legend

I can appreciate the talent, but its not for me

Um disco legal de country raiz. Apesar de eu gostar bastante de música country ainda sou bem seletivo dentro do gênero, não há tanta coisa assim que eu goste e ouça com frequência. Mas é bom conhecer algo novo de um gênero que não se tem tanta afinidade assim. R.I.P Dolly Parton.

More less.

RIP Dolly Parton, but I can't listen to this.

each song in isolation were good, and well performed - it just got a bit samey after a while

Está bien pero es todo un poco lo mismo

5/10

Забавный факт, что этот альбом выпла на следующий день после смерти Партон. При всём уважении к усопшей и дани её значимости в американской музыке, кантри - вообще не моё

Apropos considering Dolly died this week. Not really my thing but the harmonies here are amazing.

Wonderful person, a sad loss to the world but I could never get behind her more saccharine country material.

Charity shop fodder. You could probably buy this for 50p a few years ago. At least £25 now. Not because it's any good, or collectable. It's because charity shop employees look at eBay's top asking prices and think some random local will pay that in their shop. The record will hang around forever, unsold. I wonder why? RIP Dolly. I expect everyone got this album or Coat of Many Colours today. Nice voices, and good to hear songs about hobos and box cars, but I don't know who was who. Can't tell them apart!

I'm sorry to hear Dolly has died. I am also sorry to hear this album.

Estaba distraído, pero es que el country...

I'm sure she's a lovely lady and all but this is unbelievably boring

It's soulful but just doesn't do it for me like other pieces of slow country

Joar. Same Same but different. Und…. Welcher Pflanze ist es egal wo die wächst. Der Diestel vielleicht. Schlechtes Bild.

Country ist für mich ja die Ami Version von Schlager, soll heißen gibt mir nicht viel, aber ein paar der alten Sachen geht doch absolut klar und ist auch musikalisch anspruchsvoll genug um mich zu begeistern. Hier das ist anspruchsvoll genug um mich zu begeistern, gleichzeitig aber weit weg vno meiner Lebensrealitiät und dafür dann nicht abwechslungsreich genug.

Fint, men for meg er selve sjangeren ensformig

RIP Dolly. Sorry I don't like your music more.

Given the three indisputably fine singer-songwriters involved, this is a surprisingly dull record. Yes, their voices come together beautifully but it’s a pretty pedestrian country album to these ears. I wanted to like it, especially given the sad news recently about Dolly Parton, but it’s just not very interesting.

Alltså sån här soft country är så tråkigt hur bra en vokalisterna är. En tvåa

Pretty good. Not my favorite genre but it was not bad.

2+

RIP with love to Dolly Parton and I think Linda Ronstadt has maybe the best voice of any singer. Emmylou Harris I do not think about. Anyway I don't like this album nearly as much as I should. Maybe a little too straightahead country for my tastes. And I think the singers are all trying to be a little less show-offy so there's no really incredible solo performances. Wildflowers is really good though.

meh

Litt for rolig for min del. Håpe ikkje eg relatere te visse av disse sangene någen gang:) Hjerteknuste og forlatte hustruer:( Tror om det var litt merr variasjon i musikken, eller tekster eg relatere veldig te så kunne det fenga. Beste sang: To know him is to love him

country normal nao me chamou muita atenção e tbm n pretendo ouvir dnv

Rip

Can't deny the quality of the singing and the harmonies but would have preferred it if they singing almost any other genre than twee country music. The album cover is quite ugly too.

unfortunate timing but this just isnt for me Rating: 4/10

Sorry you died Dolly but it doesn’t make me like your music more :/ I guess I liked the pain of loving you the most

I bet this is about as good as it gets RIP 2.0

Undeniably Dolly Parton was unequalled in the Country arena. And some of the harmonies here are very sweet. The songs (like most country music) are formulaic ‘by numbers’ songs, which immediately sound like you’ve heard them before and know how they go. I’m not the target audience here but I’m sure it ticks the boxes for those who are.

Meh

Argh den er hård. Simpelthen så tæt på en 1'er at jeg er i tvivl om en 2'er er for blidt. Gør ingen fortræd, lyder ikke som sådan dårligt, bare slet ikke mig

*44 Tusinde tak for "Time After Time" og lidt krymmel hist og her. Jeg bør dog blive kompenseret for svie og smerte for "She Bop". She bop, he bop, she-ut the f*** up :(

Det er vel nok nogenlunde så godt, som sådan noget kan være. Hvil i fred 2.0

Easy listening but nothing more. RIP the dollster

Dit album vind ik net zo goed als geen muziek luisteren. Er gebeurt namelijk geen reet. Het blijft dezelfde vlakke muziek.

R.I.P wel een saai album.

RIP

4/10 - Cracker Barrel type shit, but out of a deep reverence for Dolly and the fact that she sends out literal millions of books a year to kids, it’s a 2 star album.

It's easy listening, it's unoffensive, it's nothing but the same sounding song over and over again. 4/10

Appreciate the sentiment but it wasnt for me.

Kepeet mullat mutta tää ei oikee iskeny. Onhan tädillä parempaakin materiaalia

RIP Dolly Parton, mutta tämä levy jäi kyllä letun heilutteluksi.

Tämmöstä perinteistä kantrirallatusta. Ei osu omaan VIISARIIN.

Olihan tässä hienoa laulantaa, biisit ei kyllä ihan lähteneet. Alkometri heitti levyn jälkeen paljon kovempia Dollyn biisejä.

Fate?

Sorry Dolly.

These three ladies are icons and then for them to join forces, wow. Despite that country is still not my thing.

Love the earlier Dolly record we got but this one didn't do much for me, rip to someone who seemed like a legitimately wonderful person as well as a great musician

Got this the day after Dolly Parton's death (as did most people, I suppose). Considering the circumstances, and since I have no beef with her - she seemed like a genuinely great humain being - I'll try to refrain from the snarky disposition country music usually elicits in me. This is really not my type of music. A couple of songs were all right, but overall, there's not much for me here. It's certainly not the worst the genre has to offer, though - the nice voices and the melancholic mood make it tolerable as background music. 3/10

Trad country is not my kind of music. This sounds like all the other country albums, but it's sung by 3 genre legends, bit like the Soggy Bottom Girls. The 2nd star is a tribute to Dolly (R.I.P)...

Kinda luch that Dolly's album comes to listening right after her death.... Skills of these three ladies are so clear after listening this album, these ladies know their shit. They also are / were excellent songwriters and it feels a pity that this album doesn't have more of their own songs. Only 3/11. But did I fancy this? Nope.

#467 / 1089 Heard before? ❌ Revisit? ❌ However much I love Dolly and her voice, I can't stand country music. Even her latest "Rockstar" has too much country vibes in it for me, and this one has two extra country ladies in it too! Nope. 1 star, plus a bonus one for Dolly (R.I.P.) 2/5

RIP Dolly

Feels bad to write as she died so recently but this was just boring

Clearly universally loved by everyone and will be missed by all. Not my style of music but recognised a couple of well written songs.

I’m not a country fan, but I like Dolly. I also enjoy Linda’s normal music. Listening to this album though, I couldn’t really tell any of them apart most of the time since it was so twangy. It ended up grating on my nerves by the end, and I was happy it was over.

Country-Schmalz hoch drei

drie topzangeressen en ik vermoed ook topwijven... helaas geen topgenre

Don't we all have a bad day once in a while, and haven't we all lived through a painful breakup at some point? Consider yourself a very lucky person if you have friends who don't hit mute on you if you deliver lines such as “I'd join the wild birds in their crying, thinking of [him] and [his] sweet face” or “I will go down to the cold dark waters, and there I'll lay me down and weep” for 40+ minutes straight. I mean, if they did, rightfully so. It's just too much. The obvious highlight here is “Wildflower,” mainly because it's way more empowering than this devotional, near-religious, all-cosuming understanding of failed man-woman relationships, which takes up most of this record. Great musicianship all around, but lyrically, Trio feels just like a loose collection of one-dimensional metaphors on misery.

Not really my kind of music.

Not really my vibe

To Know Him Is To Love Him

A: TAKE ME HOOOOME COUNTRY ROADSSSSSS... Typ. Gillar ish country i begränsad kvantitet. Skulle hellre lyssna på den delen av country där kvinnor sjunger om att mörda sina makar. Denna for lite överstyr. Gillade dom lugnare låtarna. Men lite #tradwife. Joo? 2/5 (hög B-tier pga lugna låtarna) D: Clockade Emmylou Harris inom 10 sekunder av att albumet började. Min hittills stoltaste dygd. Överlag ganska lugn. Gillade kanske Emmmiluu Harris lite mera. Lite onödig att ha med kanske. Skulle vilja få en girlboss-country album, sådär att en kvinna sjunger country på samma sätt som män. 2/5

I feel like each of these artists is better separately. Or maybe these songs just aren't that compelling; I'm a fan of historical songs, but hearing about "hobos" really makes things feel antiquated.

Way too much banjo and high pitched harmonies for my liking.

No, but really... fuck country music
