Dolly's music always makes me smile. Her good heart was carried in her voice. RIP Dolly....
From the opening sonic moment the production of this album almost made me crash my car. The shrill laser beam vocal volume hurt my head. Not to besmirch the newly deceased but just awful.
What a bittersweet coincidence that this is the album I get to listen to the day after Dolly’s death was announced. I kind of can’t believe I hadn’t heard this album before now, as I absolutely love Linda Ronstadt, and have enjoyed a fair share of Dolly Parton’s music. It’s completely unsurprising to me that I ended up loving it as much as I did, and it makes me really want to listen to this trio’s other album together. What an amazing group of women to pair up together.
Thank you Dolly
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
dolly my baby <3
Not a fan of country and not my kind of music, but still a comfortable listen. Either way, Dolly Parton was of course still an icon and an amazing person. I got this album just following her passing. Rest in peace.
Not the biggest fan. Its a 2 star for me.
This was a nice way to pay tribute to Dolly.
It was the morning of August 26th when I opened the page to get my daily album. Me and many others around the world woke with different levels of sadness, having lost one of the biggest, most inspirational artists of our age. Imagine my surprise when my randomised daily album was one of the very same artist, Dolly Parton??? I cannot say I've been an avid Dolly listener. It was only last year I started listening to country a bit more, and before that it was only the occasional Dolly hit. But she was so much more than artist and she meant so much for so many. This album was by no means a masterpiece, but it was a nice listening experience. The three singers voices blend wonderfully together.
RIP Dolly Parton. Ellas eran las Boygenius de los 80. Muy bonito y muy facil de escuchar, me ha encantado.
Coincidence that this album is selected the day after we lost Dolly? She and these women are great talents, even if this album is not quite my speed. Very pleasant listen, nonetheless.
Randomly (?) generated the day Dolly died
3.6. Great voices. Not really for me but can certainly appreciate it. Serendipitous. Dolly passes away and this is my next album. Loved that.
I do find disrespectful to only credit one of the three singers out of an album called trio. that said it was pretty great, i do love proper story telling and great skillful singing
I have a Dolly Parton album to review along with everyone else after her passing. I always liked Dolly’s music but rarely dug it out to listen to. I am a huge fan of Harris when she sang with Graham Parsons and I only knew Ronstadt from her 80’s hits. This album is the kind of country I can get into. Since I was a teen in the 90’s, country music on the radio really turned me off of the genre. It took me awhile to find that I actually did like country but it was the stuff that came out in the 60’s and 70’s. The harmonies on this are beautiful and I don’t think I heard the words “pickup truck”, “beer”, or “Merica”. Country music can be good!
I mostly am not a fan of country music. Too many trucks and guns and jingoism. This is human personal and so beautiful it hurts. I love it. Wonderful.
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*
Would've been happier with some up tempo numbers, but those voices can not be denied.
Rip dolly.
7 stars - also rude to list this as by Dolly Parton and not by the group Trio which includes Linda and Emmy Lou.
Very beautiful renditions of standard songs by 3 very talented ladies.
Rest in peace Dolly and thank you for the music and goodness you’ve brought to the world. Very poignant to get a Dolly album today🕊️
Trio é um daqueles discos que parecem feitos para serem ouvidos ao redor de uma fogueira. Dolly Parton, Linda Ronstadt e Emmylou Harris juntam três vozes suaves e angelicais em um country simples, acolhedor e bonito demais. É como ouvir histórias antigas sendo cantadas sob a luz da noite. Um dos grandes discos de country que já ouvi. Descanse em paz, Dolly.
Why did the universe give me this album today of all days RIP Dolly Parton Refreshed my album 4 hours after I found out
5/5 - RIP Dolly
Rest in Peace Queen!
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.
Their voices are very beautiful together. "I've Had Enough" is my favorite. Thank you ❤️ Miss you Dolly. ❤️
Seems like a special choice for the day after Dolly died. Respect to her craft, she's done amazing things. This album was good, great voice, nice songs. Just didn't love it.
I don't know if it was a coincidence or not that I got this album the day after Dolly died, but jeez what a gut punch. She was taken from us way too soon. 4/5.
no way i pulled dolly the day after she died...
2.6/5
Love you dolly, rest in peace.
I am not a country person and I have never been a country person, in saying that I like this a lot. The vocal harmonies from the trio are absolutely gorgeous, the instrumentals are beautiful, and the lyrics aren't just good for country, they are genuinely well written and touching songs. RIP Dolly, one of the few huge celebrities who seemed like a genuine sweetheart.
R.I.P Dolly. A bit of a morbid album to be recommended today considering some of the songs subject matter but a peaceful experience nonetheless.
I usually skip past the country ones, but I can't for Dolly. This was surprisingly listenable, with the three ladies gelling together rather well, and I could find very little fault here. Thanks for everything, Ms Parton. See you on the other side.
Música gostosinha de ouvir.
Trio Dolly Parton, Linda Ronstadt, Emmylou Harris 1987 Genres: Country, Pop 1. The Pain of Loving You (★★☆☆☆) -Context: Una persona reconoce que ama profundamente a alguien que, al mismo tiempo, le causa dolor. Sabe que esa relación la lastima, pero no consigue desprenderse de ella: el amor y el sufrimiento están completamente entrelazados. 2. Making Plans (★★☆☆☆) -Contexto: Una mujer contempla cómo su pareja está preparando su partida. Mientras él hace planes para irse, ella queda imaginando su propia vida después del abandono. Es una canción sobre la resignación ante una ruptura que parece inevitable. 3. To Know Him Is to Love Him (★★☆☆☆) -Contexto: Una canción de amor mucho más sencilla y luminosa. La narradora está tan enamorada de un hombre que considera que simplemente conocerlo ya es motivo suficiente para quererlo. La idea central es la admiración y el enamoramiento absoluto. 4. Hobo's Meditation (★★☆☆☆) -Contexto: Un vagabundo que vive viajando y durmiendo donde puede reflexiona sobre su existencia miserable y sobre lo que podría encontrar después de la muerte. La canción mezcla pobreza, soledad y una esperanza religiosa: quizá la vida del otro lado sea mejor que la que está viviendo. 5. Wildflowers (★★☆☆☆) -Contexto: Dolly utiliza las flores silvestres como metáfora de las personas que no fueron hechas para permanecer encerradas en un lugar o cumplir con un destino impuesto. Algunas personas necesitan libertad, movimiento y espacio para crecer por su cuenta, igual que las flores que nacen donde encuentran tierra. 6. Telling Me Lies (★★☆☆☆) -Contexto: Una mujer sabe que su pareja le ha mentido, pero sigue emocionalmente atrapada en sus palabras y promesas. Aunque racionalmente comprende que la relación está basada en engaños, todavía desea creerle. Trata sobre lo difícil que es desprenderse de una mentira cuando todavía se ama a quien la cuenta. 7. My Dear Companion (★★☆☆☆) -Contexto: Una persona recuerda con afecto a un antiguo compañero del que se ha separado. La canción transmite nostalgia por una relación pasada y la conciencia de que alguien que alguna vez fue íntimo puede terminar convertido en un recuerdo. Tiene el carácter de una vieja canción folk sobre la pérdida y la separación. 8. Those Memories of You (★★☆☆☆) -Contexto: Una persona intenta continuar con su vida después de perder a alguien que amaba, pero los recuerdos de esa persona aparecen constantemente. Esos recuerdos son a la vez lo único que conserva del vínculo y la fuente de su sufrimiento. La canción gira alrededor de la nostalgia, la soledad y la imposibilidad de olvidar. 9. I've Had Enough (★★☆☆☆) -Contexto: Después de soportar demasiado dolor dentro de una relación, la protagonista finalmente llega al límite. Ya no quiere seguir intentando arreglar las cosas ni aceptar el sufrimiento. Es el momento de agotamiento en el que alguien comprende que marcharse es la única posibilidad que queda. 10. Rosewood Casket (★★☆☆☆) -Contexto: Una canción tradicional sobre la muerte de un ser querido y el dolor de tener que despedirse. El ataúd de palo de rosa se convierte en una imagen concreta del duelo: la persona muerta ya no puede regresar, pero permanece en la memoria de quien la amó. 11. Farther Along (★★☆☆☆) -Contexto: Un himno gospel que reflexiona sobre el sufrimiento y las injusticias que no conseguimos comprender mientras estamos vivos. La respuesta religiosa es que, más adelante, podremos entender aquello que ahora parece inexplicable. Después de todas las pérdidas del álbum, termina ofreciendo una forma de consuelo y aceptación. -TOTAL = ★★☆☆☆ (2) -El country no es de mi agrado, ni aún queriendo puedo evaluarlo objetivamente, o quizás ponerle un 2 genérico a todo pese a escucharlo por encima y quitarlo del asco, sea una muestra de cierto respeto por lo musical que puede ser comparado a otros géneros como lo experimental, que es una mierda pretenciosa. Por lo menos esto es una basura y nadie mira para otro lado o pretende, justamente, venderlo como otra cosa que no sea lo que es. En fin, para mí es un 1, no me gusta el country como género completo, aunque suele ser más aceptable con rock.
Very pretty but repetitive, 3.5
damn, what timing this is - RIP Dolly.
Nice enough, probably not something I'd come back to though
¿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.
Dolly... :sob:
I just don't get country. Maybe it's because I'm European.
Ten or so years in the making these three singers, friends, contemporaries and earth angels finally made the album they wanted to make with each other. Inarguably three of the top singers in the country/folk/rock genre to ever fill their lungs with air and vibrate their larynxes. Dolly, Emmylou and Linda had been friends for years and wanted to make an album together, had some sessions that led to guest appearances on each others records and unified against their perceived differences. I have a feeling this record would’ve been better received if had come out ten years earlier (at the nexus of the country music crossover into the mainstream) or ten years later (with the new alt country movement and the resurgence of “real” country to combat the aforementioned mainstream stuff). Dolly’s unmistakable Appalachian intonation, Emmylou’s sweet, seemless harmonies and Linda’s whisper to powerhouse voice seems like too much of a good thing. The songs are good, the personnel are all top notch LA session musicians and the harmonies are flawless. The only thing missing is just a little edge, or imperfection that makes an album unique. I loved it though and I want to give it a 5 for Dolly… RIP you beautiful, mystical woman. I would probably give it a 4 under normal circumstances, but I’m not the one who disrupted the random album generator.
normally not a fan of country, still not a fan of country, however i am a fan of dolly parton, rest in peace queen
Escucharlo fue un suplicio para mí, de verdad no me gustó
6/10 No es malo, pero meh. Tiene cositas que me fustaron pero otras que no compro mucho
mirá qué álbum me viene a tocar después de la tragedia de ayer. bellísimo álbum entre tres mujeres que cambiaron la música country. te extrañamos mucho dolly.

Ух ти ж, трясця) Що воно таке? Кантрі бляха(
Obv Rip Dolly and that but this was awful
Because of Dolly!
I would have given this 5 stars any other day. Legends.
giving me this the day after she dies oh my god😭😭 didn’t finish but i really loved wildflower
I mean, Dolly did a lot of good in her life, but I have heard her before and it's just not for me. If good people were inherently good at their art we would all be listening to Dogstar. Which is perhaps mercenary toward Parton, because she's perfectly fine as a songwriter, but I've never gotten into her voice, I often bristle at the country tropes she mines, I nearly laughed my head off when I first heard “Jesus and Gravity.” Never has anything felt more like a grandma trying to write a song, and she couldnt have been much more than 60 at the time. The number one thing this album has going for it is Ronstadt. I have always liked Harris’ papery, fragile voice, but Linda gives a much needed deeper sound to the harmonies to counterbalance the Parton/Harris duo. Her turns on “Telling Me Lies” and “I've Had Enough” are some of the better ones here (though it doesn't hurt that these were written by Linda Thompson and Kate McGarrigle respectively). I'm sorta surprised that only Harris contributes any instrumentation to this (or so says Wiki), because Dolly obviously had a guitar. Doubly so because Rolling Stone definitely included a song from this album as evidence for Dolly's inclusion in their top guitarists list a while back (they also included a solo by Lucy Dacus that she didn't play, so I'm guessing their research was bare bones). Most of this is classic country. A bunch of heartbreak songs; a meditation on hobos that has that classic “is this empowering or belittling” vibe that songs about the displaced, especially country songs, so often spawn; general explorations of the freedom of the countryside. It does weirdly feel more outlaw than the Highwaymen album… Wildflower, for instance, manages to mine the old “I am an independent individual” quarry without the “outlaw” tough guy trope and still express it better. That's probably the most relevant of the songs here. It's sort of the best of Parton's mythos, the “hillbilly” (her words) that nevertheless modeled herself on women of ill repute and drag queens, who never stopped performing the femininity expected of her but always on her own terms. I appreciate that the album ends with each woman taking a solo vocal over “Farther Along”. That sort of thing feels like a nice bow on it. But ultimately it's all that vibrato, all that country harmony and fiddle, it's just not what I actively want to hear, and with three voices at once almost all the time it's just a lot of it. ⭐️⭐️⭐️ feels fair.
got this one the day after she died and im sad now, thanks
This is one of their very best. Listening to it felt alive and deeply human. The three legendary voices blend in a way that feels natural and full of real emotion. You can hear the longing, the love and the heartaches they bring to every song. Nothing about it feels distant or polished for the sake of it. The harmonies are the heart of the record. Each singer brings her own character, yet they sound completely at home together. The songs carry a quiet strength and a lot of feeling without ever becoming heavy handed. It has that classic country and folk warmth that stays with you. The production is clean and well handled. Everything is introduced and balanced carefully so the voices stay front and center. The arrangements support the performances without getting in the way, and the overall sound remains warm and clear throughout. Trio is a special album. Full of heart, beautiful singing and a genuine emotional presence that still holds up.
I appreciate the site admin pushing a Dolly album through to everyone today. We lost such a kindhearted, compassionate person and even though I don’t have much love in my heart for country as a genre, I will always have love for Dolly as a human and an artist. I quite liked this though. Heartfelt, moving, and an easy listen.
I really liked this album, but I guess I was hoping for a more Pistol-Annies- type, girl-power super trio, instead of these sappy heartbreak songs. Don't get me wrong, I do love a good, sad, country song every now and then, but I also need to balance that out with a kick-ass come back song about a girl who don't take no shit from a man and can change her own damn oil song. These are a trio of strong ass women, but it's a lot of pretty sap.
Beautiful voices, but not my thing.
As great as their voices are, and as amazing as Dolly was, this is REALLY not for me.
i understand i got this because she just died, but i kind of don’t really feel anything about this
No fav song
I love Dolly, but this isn’t really my thing. Whatever it was fine.
RIP Dolly, a true American legend. You can't forget about Linda and Emmylou though, they deserve their plaudits as well
Those voices. Amazing. Rest in peace, Dolly. The planet was better for having you on it.
Rip
I don’t normally believe the album generation isn’t random, but I got this the very day after Dolly Parton departed this world. It is one of my favorite country collaborations of all time. 5 stars
R.I.P. Dolly If this has been released 10 years earlier, and avoided the bad 80's production tropes it would probably be still talked about today
Great album served up as a memorial on Dolly's passing, one I haven't heard before. But the album is all about harmonies, and they're gorgeous. Dolly and Linda Ronstadt are among the greatest vocalists of all time (seriously, Linda Ronstadt isn't recognized enough for what her voice could do), and Emmylou Harris is probably the all-time greatest harmony vocalist (which isn't at all meant to diminish her solo prowess). The three of them together is alchemy. I love the band here, too. Very clean and spacious and crisp for an 80s record. Maybe I was especially open to appreciate this album today, but I loved it, and think it's worth adding to the collection, and yes, I think it's a must-listen. Dolly and this trio really deserve a listen.
I’m a fan of every singer on this album. Glad that they joined forces.
solid performances all around but a deeply mediocre set of instrumental arrangements, and not done any favors by the production.
Thank you to the list for surfacing this one today, Dolly Parton passed away yesterday at the age of 80. Did this appear today by chance or does the list have the ability to put its thumb on the scale? If the former, then wow, goosebumps! I doubt the timing was intentional, but maybe in fact it was? Reflecting on "Trio" less than 24 hours after Dolly Parton's death gives the whole record a different weight than it would have carried on any other Wednesday. The album still holds up as one of the great harmony records in American music. Three voices shouldn't blend THIS effortlessly and yet they do. Parton's bright, reedy soprano, Ronstadt's power, Emmylou Harris's ache somehow lock together on "Wildflowers" and "To Know Him Is to Love Him" like they'd been singing in the same kitchen their whole lives. It's a record built on restraint as much as talent: three women who could each easily have taken over a song instead choosing, again and again, to make room for one another. That's really the album's legacy. Trio is the clearest ancestor of every female country supergroup that's followed, the direct predecessor to something like The Highwomen decades later. It's the same idea that harmony can be a form of solidarity, not just technique. As for whether the news of Dolly's death will nudge people toward giving this a higher rating than they otherwise would? Probably not? At least a little? But so what, and I'd be lying if I said it wasn't part of what I loved about it this morning. That's worth naming rather than pretending it isn't happening. But I don't think the record needs the sympathy vote. It was already this good.
Dolly Parton passed away yesterday, so it was timely to get this album. I've already listened to "A Coat Of Many Colors", and though country isn't my favorite genre, I have an appreciation for her songwriting and witticisms. All three women here have beautiful voices and they stand out individually and harmonize well together. The songs are written in the country tradition of rich storytelling, and were sung passionately. That three-song run starting with "Hobo's Meditation" and ending with "Telling Me Lies" (what an amazing chorus progression for this song) was perfection.
This album popped up on the day Dolly Parton died. Not sure if this was a coincidence. Either way, I am impartial to country music, but Dolly was an absolute legend. As are Ronstadt and Harris. This was a very fine album. Dolly will be missed.
If I have any problems with this album, it's that Dolly steals the show away from Linda and Emmylou more often than not.
RIP Dolly
Freakishly relevant. Beautiful voices. RIP Dolly.
rip and all that but not for me
the dev overrode the algorithm today. well done. some of the albums in the book/app are head-scratching choices. not this one. it is outstanding and deserving to be in your ears. also, don’t judge by the atrocious 80s album design
It's not something usual for me to put on, but it's a very lovely album overall.
Not my thing but pleasant enough
⭐⭐⭐ Angenäm lyssning med tre bra röster. Kan tänka mig att sätta på det här som comfort-music men för att få en 4a hade det behövt fler spår som står ut lite mer och kanske lite olika tempo. The pain of loving you, To know him is to love him, Telling me lies, My dear companion
i don’t like country, but RIP Dolly
RIP, Dolly. 8/10
#232/1001 🇺🇸👢 An apt selection, the day after Dolly's passing. This is my first time hearing this record by 3 of Country's voices. Hearing Wildflowers this morning was quite emotional and sharing with a colleague who loved Dolly. Its one of her favourite songs. I went back and relistened again straight away afterwards. Its a really enjoyable listen and i'll definitely come back for more. Best Tracks: Wildflowers, The Pain Of Loving You, To Know Him Is to Love Him.
She died a day before this came into my list. I wish I liked the record as much as I liked her.
Important for the female supergroup angle, but honestly it's no better than fine. A few good songs and lots of filler
Not something I'd normally choose to listen to, but it's nice enough
This was lovely. I’m not sure if this was a coincidence or not but I got this album selected the day after Dolly Parton passed away. The songs of her singing about death and being remembered really hit hard. Rosewood Casket and Father Along were beautiful and easily my favourites.
Three queens of the genre doing what they do best. The harmonies are incredible. Despite not being a country fan I have always enjoyed these three women, getting them together is even better. This was a balm to the soul and exactly what I needed today. RIP Dolly. 5/5
beautiful, so glad i got this for the day after dolly passed. what beautiful harmonies. loved this
absolutely perfect.
Listening session: august 26th, while cooking dinner Listened to before: no Thoughts: it can’t be a coincidence that this is the album of the day. I’m definitely not a country fan, but this album had some nice melodies and harmonies Favourite tracks: To Know Him Is to Love Him, Wildflowers & Telling Me Lies
A lovely album featuring three talented singers. Rest in Peace Dolly.
How poignant it is that this album should come up the morning after we all learned of Dolly's passing. I'm not much of a country fan to be honest, but Dolly was a great entertainer and this album brings three great voices together in harmony. RIP Dolly.
RIP to a true legend. Pretty normal country music.
RIP Dolly. The record itself is absolutely fine, yet not outstanding. I already had fotten Coat of Many Colors, and prefer it to this record.
I'm glad I got this album instead of Coat of Many Colors bc I didn't even know this existed. What harmonies! And the 3 songs that reference the afterlife/death brought some tears. Perfect album, no matter the time. 5/5
I mean, literal Queen of the World Dolly Parton is certainly not getting less than a 5 from me on August 26, 2026.
The songs are old style Nashville sadness, but when their voices come together and launch into To Know Him is to Love Him or Linda Thompson's Telling Me Lies, it's spine tingling. Five stars for the performances, but the songs are probably not everyone's cup of tea.
Fantastiskt! Älskar detta. Man kan kalla det deprimerande men jag kallar det vackert. Deras tre röster funkar så fint tillsammans och man får gåshud när.man lyssnar. Förlusten av Dolly Parton blir också påtaglig när man lyssnar. Fan, vad hon var bra! De andra två också förstås. De kompletterar varandra utmärkt. De var födda till att sjunga dessa låtar... typ...
This was good! I think Dollys and Linda's parts shined and Emmy Lou's were a little behind bit all in all had no major complaints. RIP Dolly.
Rest in peace Dolly :(
Ei tainnut olla sattumaa, että juuri tämä levy valikoitui kuunneltavaksi tälle päivälle. Juuri tänään menehtynyt Dolly Parton lauleskelee kahden muun kovan luokan country-laulajan Emmylou Harrisin ja Linda Ronstadtin kanssa. Suoraan sanottuna levy on harmiton ja aika tylsä, mutta varmaan omassa lajissaan onnistunut. Juuri ja juuri viitsin antaa kolme tähteä naisten kauniista lauluäänistä eikä tämän kuunteleminen ärsyttänyt.
263. ok
Not the sort of music I usually listen to, but I have to say that every bit of it is well done. And also the sadness of losing Dolly Parton - who again, I never listened to, but had HUGE appreciation for because of her essential goodness, more and more examples of which I’ve been hearing of in the past 24 hours. And of course Linda Ronstadt and Emmylou Harris both have amazing voices and make a great contribution to this album. (And ok, “Wildflowers” is making me cry.)
😢 R.I.P
Not a surprise to see this album appear today. Talked about in the 70s but, due to heavy schedules, it took til after Dolly had plateaued after the peak of 'Islands in the stream', Emmylou was making acclaimed albums herself and Linda had guested on 'Graceland' as well as doing Disney duets, for this high profile collaboration to be realised. It's well made, evenly spread out amongst lead singing and a highly satisfying three part harmonic blend throughout. The song choice is good with a nice range of writers and it was bestowed with grammy nominations and awards. Makes a change from nine to five at the time - country purists would have been delighted!
RIP
RIP Dolly
RIP Dolly. This was nice enough but I'm not a huge fan of this kind of country. The harmonies are lovely.
Así que ayer se muere Dolly Parton y hoy sale este disco? Que oportunista
Favorite track(s): Making Plans, Wildflowers, Farther Along RIP.
What timing, Dolly passed away yesterday. Rest in peace to one of the top ten humans. Her voice is a treasure, I'm honored to have been alive to hear her. This album is not my favorite, a little heavy handed on the old vibrado. And viola.
Hard to be objective about this one given Parton's recent death. Not a country fan, but still rating this one highly for the artist.
302 / 1089. Three American role models making inspired music together. Dolly will be missed. 8/10.
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.
1 - TERRIBLE
R.I.P Dolly. I got your album on 26.8 2026 and you died a day earlier. Fly high 🕊️
What a precious soul
Like many of us here, I am reviewing this following the sad passing of Dolly Parton. It’s probably not necessary to retread all that has been said in the past 24 hours since, thankfully, it hasn’t taken her death for the world to recognise what a good egg she was; it’s been an accepted fact for decades. I’m not sure the phrase “national treasure” is used as much in the US as it is in the UK, but if it is, Dolly I’m sure is referred to as such. As a fitting tribute, I wish “Coat of Many Colours” had been generated for me. It is a record I would be much more capable of being positive about. A country music fan I am certainly not, but whereas on that 1971 album Dolly managed to reminisce fondly on the bad old dirt-poor days, somehow without wallowing in pathos, here I find it tough to find much to embrace. Of course all three have the voice and they combine exactly as well as one would hope they would. Of their generation (I think Tammy was a little older?), these seem like the first choice for a trio (though I’m obviously not the right person to make that call) and they prove all across the album that they know how to deliver what is represented on it. It’s really not for me though. To be honest, it sounds like the idea of working together, and making it actually happen was the real success, and the album could have done with more thought. Still, it seems to have been a critical and commercial success, so what do I know. I enjoyed “Telling Me Lies” and “I’ve Had Enough” more than the rest but that says more about my taste than the quality, being as they were, written by non-country artists Linda Thompson and Kate McGarrigle respectively. Those two songs (perhaps not coincidental to meeting my taste more) also feature orchestration by David Campbell whose work I appreciate more each time I come across it which is surprisingly frequently and in unexpected places. Farewell then Dolly. Congratulations on a life extremely well lived. Your legendary status, already firmly in place, will grow exponentially.
Obviously Dolly was a person with many admirable qualities. In particular the philanthropy. This a good record. Liked the hints towards British folk revival that are throughout the record.
Loved the close part harmonies and definitely preferred the faster tracks.
Three wonderful voices. It is a shame that Linda Rondstadt did not make it onto the list for a solo album. She has a wonderful voice and some great songs. Obviously this album did not show up randomly with the passing of Dolly. Her voice is unreplaceable, her songwriting is unmatched, and her attitude and personality will never be duplicated. The world is a worse place without her in it.
The talent all over this album is incredible. The session musicians are quite a wrecking crew. The vocal performances are legendary. I wish the songs were a little better.
Now I'm not a massive Country fan but my god the passion and power in the voices of these women is incredible. Getting this the day after Dolly passed was a kick to the gut. A true icon and an incredible album. She'll be missed.
Beautiful. Rest in Peace Dolly. We will always love you.
Sometimes I feel like there's someone hand picking albums for me every day, cause there's no way this just randomly popped up the day after the news about Dolly Parton came out. It's still nice though, I can feel like I'm memorializing her by experiencing what she's made. That being said, I wasn't in love with this. There was a song or two that sounded like an Irish folk thing and I thought that was pretty cool, but everything else was kind of standard fare to me. Still though, it was nice to pay homage a little, rest in peace Dolly Parton. Favorites: Making Plans, Wildflowers, Rosewood Casket
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.
*Easy to listen to with nice harmonies and country sound *Great harmonies but no songs truly grabbed me
Quite the trio - a fitting tribute the day after Dolly's death. Never going to be one of my favourites but definitely a solid album.
A melding of such titanic talents. No flaws. RIP Dolly.
Trio is an incredible album: Dolly, Linda Ronstadt and Emmylou Harris singing together with astonishing taste, restraint and musicianship. When all three voices lock together, it barely sounds like harmony so much as a new instrument being created in front of you.
Gorgeous album. Not normally my style but extra stars given for the legend that was too good for this world. RIP Dolly. The world is a darker, sadder place without you.
Auspicious timing given Dolly's passing yesterday. All three of these women are GOATS in what they do. It's impossible but to get swept away by the soulful singing.
Sorry Dolly, but I really don't like country, no matter how good a person you were
2.5
I have to question the randomness of the randomizer after seeing this album pop up less than 24 hours after the passing of Dolly Parton. Like most people, I’m heartbroken to lose her, and I rejoice that she is with her Savior and reunited with her longtime hubby, Carl Dean. The world she leaves behind is greatly diminished by her demise, though. Now, moving past the emotion of the moment, I have to say that I enjoyed Trio more than I thought I would. The harmonizing between Dolly, Linda Ronstadt and Emmylou Harris is beautiful. I especially liked Wildflowers and could imagine that as a metaphor for Dolly’s own rise from Appalachian poverty to the worldwide recognition, respect and love borne of her generous spirit. It got a little dusty around here when I listened to Rosewood Casket and Farther Along to close the album, as I could imagine those very songs being played at her funeral. Rest easy, Dolly. We will always love you.
please no country... +1 for not being a inbred redneck
The generator has now presumably given every user either this album or Dolly Parton's 1971 record "Coat of Many Colors" as a tribute to Dolly, who passed on yesterday. This album, meanwhile, is a perfectly pleasant country album that lacks any real standout tracks. The collaboration of three legendary(albeit similar-sounding) country singers makes for a far more interesting backstory than the album. The vocals harmonize nicely, but the lyrics are mostly repetitive meditations about heartbreak, and the album mostly stays in one groove. It's not a bad groove, but it's not the best one that any of these artists have used, and you'd expect more given their reputations. Coat of Many Colors was a far better record than this, and probably a better encapsulation of Dolly's legacy. This album is ranked #12 of 25 albums for 1987. Other 1987 albums rated by me: Bad(1/25)-4 Appetite for Destruction(2/25)-5 Document(4/25)-4 Sign o' The Times(5/25)-4 Strangeways, Here We Come(6/25)-4 Music for the Masses(7/25)-4 Darklands(9/25)-4 You're Living All Over Me(13/25)-4 The New Tango(19/25)-2 Warehouse: Songs and Stories(21/25)-4 Opus Dei(24/25)-4 Scum(25/25)-5
Yes old but gold
talk about a trio - amazing vocal work from three amazing musicians!
Amazing tribute to Dolly and one of the best country trio of all times.
Ok, this is crazy. News of Dolly Parton’s death broke yesterday… then this pops up in my list today. Whoooaaaa. Weird. Wonder if this was pushed today on purpose or it was just the cosmos doing its thing. Anyway, on to the album. Are there three better female vocalists that have done a record together?! They are each incredibly individually talented… and then together… Butter. The voices work so beautifully together. And I adore Emmylou Harris’s voice. This is a lovely country Americana record with some deeper themes about women being strong and not putting up with the shit. Dolly Parton RIP. Thank you. You will be missed.
This site _definitely_ knows what's going on in the news. Dolly Parton just passed away yesterday. I've never listened to this album before, but I'm really looking forward to this. This is just great. These three voices fit together so nice. I'll be adding this to my list of albums to listen to again.
Love Dolly as a person. She’s a true icon. Unfortunately outside of Jolene and maybe 9 to 5, I really only think of her music as fine at best. I don’t generally care for country and her stuff doesn’t really stand out compared to a lot of other stuff
Bit of a snooze but how can you not love Dolly
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.
Perfectly placed album to honor the life and work of the legend Dolly Parton. Never heard this album before but found it incredibly enjoyable as the voices of these 3 greats weaved in and out of each other. Old school country mixed with a little newer school flavor this record felt timeless. Lastly, is this the OG Boygenius?
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
Surprisingly good for 1987, banging cover, and sweet Dolly just passed yesterday, may she rest in peace.
Rest well Dolly
💔
Dolly passed away this week and plenty has been said of her efforts to spread positivity and be a good human. Surely she set an inspirational example for us all. Give her a 5 for career and influence over so many decades. RIP. That said, this is not the kind of music I will typically reach for when wanting music. There is folksy innocence and it’s charming in spots. But best delivered in limited doses. 3/5
I can’t say that I’m in love with the songs here. They’re not bad, but they don’t do much for me either. Everything’s a little one-note on this record from a songwriting perspective. But really, where it shines is with the vocals anyway. I love Emmylou Harris’ voice so much; she’s what I reckon angels sound like. Linda Ronstadt is a talent. And I love Dolly, who passed today. Great voice, great character; what a quality human being. And they all sound great together. 7.5/10
Ok
First, RIP Dolly. What an incredible life she lived. Cheers to one of the very best people this world has ever known. As for this album, it is a bit slow to me. Their voices work really well together, which isn't easy given the stature of each of these singers. What I don't get is the commentary on Apple Music which talks about this erasing genre boundaries. Huh? It's three country legends signing country music. Strange commentary. All the same, 3 stars for the blend of voices and out of respect.
Queens. Absolute queens. I, of course, got this album the day after Dolly passed, and it was a great way to pay my respects.
Great voices and good songs, I definitely lean toward Linda and Emmylou from a vocal standpoint, but it is a nice mix when they are all singing
A good record - but no Jolene?! RIP Dolly
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 is a nice palette cleanser of an album. It's a bit of mix of different styles derivative of country music. This is kind of like a Travelling Wilbury's like crossover of musicians but more country-oriented. Other than the typical vocals and acoustic guitars you might expect from country, it has some very lush harmonies (example: "The Pain of Loving You.") Most of it is fine, it's nothing too noteworthy, but it's all very much sweet. It's shocking that Dolly - who exemplified kindness - has passed away, godspeed Dolly! Highlight Song/s: "The Pain of Loving You", "Wildflowers" and "My Dear Companion"
Never cared for her music
A lesson in harmony. Some of the songs are better than others.
I guess I'm meant to give this a higher rating in the light of Parton's death yesterday. Well, too bad; this is about as country as they come and country, to me, is intolerable, so sadly there won't be any sympathy points given, sorry.
Fak quand-t-a-y-va ça y'en fait trois!
Very good album. Eternal love to Dolly.
Love Dolly! Here she gets to showcase her talents alongside her gal pal.
Good voices, boring songs for the most part. 2.5/5. Raising to 3.
Better than Coldplay
Like most 1001 participants, I'm getting this album the day after Dolly Parton's death. Truth is, I've always loved this record... and it would've been 5 stars from me either way. These voices blend so incredibly well together. The harmonies are haunting and beautiful with a touch of melancholy... and also hope. I love this album, and I hope everyone else listening to it today does, too.
Pretty good mixes songs, love me some Dolly Parton. Not sure why this is on here over Jolene or some of the other tracks, still look pretty good album. Three stars.
RIP Dolly
This feels forced because she died yesterday. Can't say I'm really a fan of her music. But bless her, she bought a lot of good to the world.
A group of three people.
RIP Dolly Parton
Three lovely lovely voices and some beautiful harmonies. Parton is probably the weakest of the three, but brings her songwriting talent to the table to make up for it. What this loses in the country 'sameyness' of the songs, it certainly gains back in the quality of the voices.
Oh I knew it's coming </3 What a collection of lovely songs and great harmonies, the ladies sound great. RIP Dolly, we will truly always love you 3/5
Aw c'mon, not gonna give this all the stars?
Will this popped up right after her death. Not my favorite type of music, but no complaints
Getting this the same day Dolly died sure is fitting. All these women have amazing voices and the whole album is peak early country music to me. The singing is beautiful and smooth. The guitar is twangy and the lyrics are exactly what I expect from country music.
Just a solid album through. RIP Dolly, a legend among legends. The world is a better place from having you in it and a worse place now from its lack of you in it.
26/08/2026 Can't say I had an issue with it, it just became a bit boring pretty quickly. Spotify listeners: Dolly Parton: 18.4 million Linda Ronstadt: 4.2 million Emmylou Harris: 2.6 million
Sadly, it's a duo now. Yesterday, I tackled with the idea of separating the art from the artist(because the album was credited to a scumbag), but this time, my situation is the opposite: do I give an album more credit than it deserves because the artists in question were, and are wonderful people? Talk about an M. Night Shyamalan twist to this whole debate. It's no secret that Country is the only genre of music I hate. Even though I appreciate classic Country, I still don't like it. I've now listened to enough Country albums that I know I will likely never like this genre. I never do this, but this is going to be the most generous three-star rating I will ever give, and I'll admit, the passing of a legend influenced my rating. For what it's worth, they sang with beautiful voices, and it has two songs I enjoy. Favorite Track: "The Pain Of Loving You".
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.
RIP Dolly. This list keeps finding different ways to circle back to Gram Parsons, and here’s another one with Emmylou Harris. His role in bringing her into the country-rock world ended up having a pretty huge ripple effect, and hearing her alongside Dolly and Linda Ronstadt makes that connection feel even more interesting. The harmonies are obviously the main attraction here. Three completely different voices, but they blend together almost ridiculously well. The fiddle on “Memories of You” was terrific, and I liked hearing them take on so many older country standards without trying to modernize them too much. Their version of “To Know Him Is to Love Him” was especially good. Phil Spector may have been a human piece of crap, but he could certainly write a song. Overall, this was a pleasant listen with some great performances, just not something that grabbed me enough to push it past a 3.
Well this is just lovely.
6/10… country / folk / *1987
It's probably no accident that I got this album on the day of her passing, as I also got a Sabbath album when Ozzy passed. First of all, RIP Dolly Parton. One of the most beautiful storytelling voices in the history. Incredible way of writing music. However, I was never a fan of country music. Usually I would give any country or folk a 1, but this is special because it's Dolly. Her voice is just one of the most recognizable voices ever. Beautiful and it just makes you feel cozy and warm if that makes sense. 5 stars for her voice, but 4 for this record as I still don't like country.
This dropped for me the day after Dolly died, so I felt obligated to listen, even though I’ve never been a fan of her voice. She was still a pretty cool lady. I don’t see revisiting this album any time soon, but it was better than I expected. Bonus points for the most eighties country album cover I’ve ever seen.
'Twas a sad day yesterday... Was expecting a Dolly Parton album today, but surprised it isn't Jolene to be honest. Anyway, it must've been a herculean effort to gather this trio of icons together to record an album. During an era where country music was getting more commercial, going back to the roots must've been refreshing. It all sounds pretty understated, but the lyrics range from inspirational to melancholic (to maybe cheesy at points too). A fun recording althogether, though. Also nice to revisit Dolly Parton one last time on this list.
I love how the utterly 80s cover and their fashion and make-up (I barely recognise EmmyLou Harris) contrast with the beautiful simple songs and arrangements.
this was decent, nice tunes
I can’t give anything by Dolly less than 4. R.I.P.
Ein stilles Meisterwerk: drei Stimmen, die ohne Druck, ohne Eitelkeit zu einem einzigen warmen Klang verschmelzen. Dolly Parton, Linda Ronstadt und Emmylou Harris singen, als würden sie einander tragen – besonders in „To Know Him Is to Love Him“ und „Wildflowers“, wo Harmonie fast zu Atem wird. Am Todestag von Dolly Parton wirkt dieses Album wie ein leises Denkmal. Kein Pathos, nur reine musikalische Verbundenheit, die Zeit überdauert🥲.
I expected a Dolly album today, but it's so hard to listen to an album of someone who just passed. Still I enjoyed it and this reminded me of the music my grandma would listen to.
R.I.P. to the queen
Oh, rest in peace Dolly 💔
Fuck, man... I'm not even a country fan and I'm devastated right now. Not by the album or anything. This is a nice album that I enjoyed a good deal. It's just... well... you know. I'm glad I listened to this, but the circumstances as to why I had to listen to it now couldn't be worse. Yes, rather tragically, Dolly Parton passed away yesterday. This website has decided to honor her by giving everyone one of her albums today, much like with Brian Wilson and Ozzy Osbourne last year. I can't blame them. Dolly was an absolute icon and a gem of a human being who deserves all the respect and tribute in the world. I can't praise her enough as a person. But how much praise can I give to Trio as an album? I'd say a solid amount. Like I said, the album's nice. This is actually a collab album between her and two other important women to country music, those being Linda Ronstadt and Emmylou Harris. I think the three of them work really well together. Who knew that three good country singers could be just as good, if not better than one? They all have nice voices, but I definitely found myself gravitating most towards Dolly. Perhaps it's the circumstances, but she does also seem to be the most prevalent voice on the album. The harmonies between the three of them are also nice. I actually really liked the music behind the album. There's some good guitar work and even a few moments where the instrumental work gets to shine on its own. It's nice. I like it. There are some good songs here. "Wildflowers" is probably my favorite. "Rosewood Casket" actually got me a little emotional, but that's definitely the circumstances talking for that one. I wish I liked this more, but I also like it more than most country albums on this list, so it has that going for it. Trio is a pleasant listen and a good showing of talent for three of the most influential women in country music history. Light 4/5. R.I.P. Dolly Parton.
Exceptional, this is the kind of country music I can enjoy
Ok
Beautiful harmonies and musical blending Oddly coincidental timing with Dolly's passing
rip dolly dit is niet haar beste album..het is beetje saai ze kunnen wel echt goed zingen
rip dolly maar ben niet echt een fan van country
These 3 women are the best in country. I love all of them. They all just work together so well, the melodies are beautiful. The vocal work is beyond, it's just a treat to listen to. There's parts that almost make you want to cry, it's so sweet, but it taps into that feeling of bittersweetness or resentment, and it's done in such an evocative way. I think the story telling throughout is really strong and this is what I really appreciate about this era of country. The lyrics are florid, but not to the point where you feel like it's becoming over the top. I will say I'm not a huge fan of the more pop style ballads telling me lies. But that is like such a minor issue. Here, and at the end of the day, all of these women will always be a 5 star. Big up Dolly Parton, and we'll miss you babes. RIP to a true queen. Fav Track: Making Plans
While it is extremely creepy that this was the album generated the day after Dolly passed away, I don't mind, because it's excellent.
Una cumbre indiscutible de la música de raíces que ha envejecido bien como una lección magistral de armonía vocal y pureza acústica, capaz de cautivar incluso a quienes no son seguidores del country gracias a una escucha sumamente disfrutable y accesible. En el plano de diseño formal, la producción de George Massenburg logra un entretejido que da claridad absoluta a cada elemento, articulando el brillo de guitarras acústicas, mandolinas y violines con una transparencia cristalina que enmarca el empaste de tres de los timbres más importantes del cancionero estadounidense. La interpretación conjunta desborda una fuerza y calidez que transmiten autenticidad sin artificios, consolidando una autoridad superior a través de una comunión técnica y afectiva desprovista de egos. Obras maestras como la cadencia rítmica de "The Pain of Loving You", la belleza poética de "Wildflowers", la delicadeza reverencial de "To Know Him Is to Love Him" y la devoción de "Farther Along" dan forma a un documento conmovedor, crudo y real que opera como un sutil llamado a la conciencia sobre el arraigo, la honestidad y la belleza de lo elemental.
Thank you dolly
Oh Dolly…80 years wasnt enough
Эх, Долли.. Ну что за уродом я буду, поставив альбому плохую оценку, когда тебя теперь нет с нами. Альбом, мне, выпал именно в тот самый злополучный день. Что-ж, даже если не делать скидок на произошедшие события, это весьма миленький альбом с тремя сладкоголосыми девицами, одну из которых (помимо Партон) я уже, даже, успел заценить в рамках этого челленджа. Нравится скрипочка в аранжировках. Эх, бог с вами, кантрилюбы, нормальный альбом.
you may not like lush sweet sounding country, but this is undeniably excellent
I like harmonies fine, but...too much Gospel and Country and Folk for my taste.
mwah, gewoon meer country
Highlights: The Pain of Loving You, To Know Him Is to Love Him, Wildflowers, Telling Me Lies, Those Memories of You, Rosewood Casket Interesting trio. I am well familiar with Parton and Ronstadt, but this was an introduction to Miss Harris. Lyrics were very weepy, though I shouldn't have been surprised given the genre. The delivery was monotonous but still enjoyable overall.
Lacked that one brilliant song to be perfect, but incredible non the less
RIP Dolly
Beautiful album. Partons voice was astonishing. This album came to me at the day of her death which was strange coincidence. Definitely something I would listen again.
Great find. Hadn't heard before.
Rip Dolly
R.I.P. Dolly
Erg toevallig dat we dit album op deze dag krijgen - RIP - helaas is het album zelf niet giga boeiend
Prima countryplaat, echt heel weinig boeiends over te zeggen. Mooie melodietjes tussen de drie zangeressen. RIP Dolly, je was een absolute topper. <3
Hasta ahora, es mi álbum de country favorito Este grupo de cantantes tan talentoso me parece una casualidad muy atinada y tenemos la oportunidad de escuchar canciones que hablan de firma muy inteligente sobre situaciones varias pero reales To Know Him Is to Love Him me es la más memorable Siento que puedo volver a este álbum en un viaje largo RIP Dolly Patton
Liked Dolly and some of her records, but this is on the wrong side of ‘ye ha!’ for me.
Not my thing.
This album felt soothing, while very sad and was beautiful. The trio of their voices worked beautifully together. Rip Dolly the news is very fresh right now and the tears are definitely there.
I don't say this often with country, but man, what an album. Maybe it's due to the news, but I cried while listening to this. Especially Wildflower hit me. RIP Dolly, you will forever be remembered as one of the best.
It's hard to put these three together and for the end product to not be some beautiful music. There could be slight recency bias by putting this in front of us immediately after Dolly's passing. But her voice, along with Linda's and EmmyLou's are undeniably incredible.
It's basically like...what if the Highwaymen were all babes, man? Jokes aside, each of these women have (had) the voice of an angel. And who doesn't love a Phil Spector cover? But overall, these feels like one of those situations where the parts are greater as individuals than as a whole.
Beautiful country music. 4.5 down to a 4.
Sad face.
good golly it's dolly (and the day after she died)
iconic but *not* my music
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.
Produktionen är kanske inte alltid den roligaste. Märkt av tiden. Emellertid utan att det direkt stör. Självklart handlar det här istället om tre underbara röster och deras samklang. Jag gillar nyanserna där framförallt Dolly bryter av på ett fint sett mot Linda och Emmylou. Något enstaka svagt spår som I've Had Enough. Men å andra sidan desto fler som av hög klass med Those memories of you, The pain of loving you och fina avslutningen i Farther along sticker ut lite extra.
Jag plockade upp den här på chans när Radio Halland sålde ut sitt skivarkiv 2016. Omslaget och utgivningsåret avskräckte men priset var överkomligt (tror det var 20 kr). Väl hemma blev jag positivt överraskad och har spelat den rätt så flitigt. Det är knappast nyskapande, men i det sena 80-talet så sticker den ut med sitt mer traditionella country-sound. Låtvalen kanske inte är de mest spännande man kan tänka sig, men jag framförandet håller hög klass.
GREAT trio! RIP Dolly
Amazing album rip
Fint men lite segt. RIP Dolly!
Inga anmärkningar på henne, bara inte riktigt min vibe som genre. RIP
RIP Dolly. Fin sång på detta album men tyvärr inte så spännande. Gillar hennes stora hits mer.
Legal. Lindas vozes, instrumentais agradáveis. Mas não deixa fortes impressões. Rapidamente vira música de fundo. Conheço country melhor. 3/5
RIP
All three of them are amazing, but Dolly really steals the show here. RIP sweet lady.
Look here, you uncultured swine. I dare you to say one bad thing about Dolly. One thing. Yes, on this album, she fell into the supporting cast mode instead of front lady. And rightfully so, because Linda and Emmylou deserved a chance to shine along with Dolly here. Not that they weren't already stars in their own right. Every song is a masterpiece here, blending and melding these three women's voices like the sweetest of honey. If you can't put aside your genre differences and accept that it's a country album, that's a you problem, not the project's problem. My Rating: 10/5
beautiful
feels illegal to say this but I kinda got bored. too church music adjacent for my taste.
Nice and mellow. It was a nice combination of Dolly's voice with the other two. I'll definitely revisit that one in the future 3.5
não é meu estilo de música, mas rip dolly parton, você é uma querida.
I drag country a lot, but when it’s as beautiful, sincere, and impeccably executed as this album, it’s hard to deny. Plus, I want to honor Dolly Parton’s legacy. Must-listen #395.
I’m not a country fan. But I am a Dolly, Linda and Emmy Lou fan. Great vocals, incredible harmonies. Dolly took her last breath today and the world is a bit darker. She lived as an incredible role model to all. She lived by the golden rule…….perfectly. In the US (and possibly other countries) she started The Imagination Library that provided a new book to children from 1 month until their 5th birthday. She help provide millions of books to children. She took some of the royalties from Whitney’s version of I’ll Always Love You and invested in a predominately back neighborhood in Nashville. She loved all and judged none. She was deeply religious but the least judgmental person and looked at everyone as a child of god. She is the antithesis of much of what is going on in the world these days. We all need to emulate how she lived.
Dolly partout ist außergewöhnlich
It’s rare to get an album with one good singer in the list, but to have one with three!
"I'll always love you, little darlin' / Until the day they lay me down" Today was the day after Dolly Parton died, and I was coincidentally assigned my first album of hers. I'm typically not a huge fan of country music, but today I had a bit of a soft spot for Dolly. I found the music to be relaxing and not overly basic in their subject matter. Multiple times in the album was a mention of ideas like "Until I die" which really hit quite hard listening to them today (Aug 26, 2026). Although there wasn't anything too special about this album, I'd venture to say it was quite a good country record due to the quality of the vocalists. It's not something I'd listen to again, but neither is it something I'd be mad at listening to, especially in the right context. 3/5
Beautiful, tight harmonies for this amazing old school country album.
Yesterday I came across this tweet and today the web site offered this album 😇 https://x.com/sgallz_/status/2092333831936209371/video/1?s=46
Lovely. RIP Dolly
I'm not a huge country fan, but I have to give respect to the three powerhouse female vocalists. It was well produced and the harmonies were amazing. It's only fitting that this album was suggested on the day Dolly passed. Rest in piece Dolly.
2.5
Not the biggest country guy Rip dolly
RIP Dolly Parton. I like your voice, I don't like your music, but I love your soul.
Äntligen kvinnor!! Country <3
simply lovely
Had me two steppin for Dolly. RIP
Loved it. RIP Queen
Good singing, pleasant to listen to
Bell album country classico. Ottimo come sottofondo e come compagno di viaggio. Inaspettatamente mi è piaciuto
Day 18 Three beautiful voices that say a lot in under 40 minutes. RIP Dolly, we will always love you 🩷 Fav track: Those Memories of You
Det här albumet var väldigt trevligt, mysigt och bra. Jag gillade det absolut, men kan tycka att det på något sätt blev lite långtråkigt. Det behöver inte säga något om utförandets kvalitet eller så, utan det skulle jag mest säga är en begränsning av typen av musik. Den är svår att göra mer intressant, iallafall enligt mina öron. Jag gillade albumet och därför ger jag det en 7/10. Rip Dolly Parton
Är inte största fanet av Country, men tyckte ändå om några låtar från det här albumet, speciellt dem långsammare låtarna.
A little slow as a whole, but solid.
Meh
RIP
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
RIP Dolly (I got this one the day after she died)
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
Listened to the right one this time. Yeah, glad to hear other voices. Dolly's is easily my least favorite of this trio. Her vibrato and style really bug me so hearing the other singer(s?) lead for a few songs was a welcome change. 3 part is pretty nice for folksy western. Every song was pretty samey tho. Favorite(s): Hobo's Meditation (funny) Least: Wildflowers 1.5/5
Fav: Wildflowers L: Telling Me Lies, I've Had Enough 2.5 Kind of a sleepy album. The hobo song was made me smile but I'm not sure they have an h-word card. The less country the songs were the less interesting they got. Album Cover: 2 What were they trying to achieve with the slanted picture in the weird colored border? I don't know that it would be great if it was just the picture but I think it would be better. Album Name: 2.5 Sure I guess, the album doesn't really feel like they really found a way trio together in a meaningful way.
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
One star for each of these talented women and one extra, because Dolly.
Some really pretty songs here, I wish there were a couple of more uptempo songs to balance out the mostly slower paced ballads of the album. The Pain of Loving You, Wildflowers, and Those Memories of You were favorites for me 3 1/2 stars
Beautiful voices, beautiful harmonies.
You did this on purpose and honestly i'm not even mad. 5 Starts. RIP Dolly
e não é que a dolly parton tem mais músicas boas além de Jolene
Was hoping for great things here with 3 outstanding singers. However, felt like Dolly wanted to relive her old Porter Waggoner days with this very old style country. Just feel like if they would have pushed it a little, this could have been great. For me , just ok.
Woof. Listening to this the morning after Dolly passed away? With songs like Rosewood Casket and Those Memories of You? I swear this generator is trying to make me cry. Similar to Johnny Cash, this album is why I hate country. It’s so rarely like this album. Stunning vocals, poignant and evocative lyrics, and deceptively simple melodies to force you to feel the story being told. Remarkable album. We’ll miss you Dolly.
The vocal harmonies sound great but I don't think this is Dolly's best writing.
Forever iconic
My first contact with Dolly was through the Netflix movie Dumpling in 2018, where her music was prominently featured. I remember doing a bit of research back then and thinking "wow, she's a gem". Basically, the people who made the film really wanted to use her songs, but didn't have the budget to get the rights, so they just asked, and Dolly's reaction was like "Sure! Oh and do you want me to make you an original song for free while we're at it??" Later, I came across her foundation Imagination Library, which provides free books to kids, thanks to partnerships with various bookstores. A registered child receives a book each month until they're 5. That's 60 books for free. No need to disclose your revenue. That's insane. And all that just because Dolly was legitimately concerned about literacy among kids. She died yesterday. Our very dark times are now even darker, having lost one of the few light source it still had. As for her music, it's great. I'm not a big country fan, but her songs are always joyful, and she has a beautiful voice. Of course, she's not the only singer on this collaborative album, but the other two are also great. Rest in peace Dolly.
RIP Dolly, but I don't really care for country
