Trio

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

Beautiful harmonies and musical blending Oddly coincidental timing with Dolly's passing

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

Lacked that one brilliant song to be perfect, but incredible non the less

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.

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.

Beautiful country music. 4.5 down to a 4.

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.

GREAT trio! RIP Dolly

Amazing album rip

beautiful

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.

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.

simply lovely

Loved it. RIP Queen

Good singing, pleasant to listen to

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

RIP

One star for each of these talented women and one extra, because Dolly.

e não é que a dolly parton tem mais músicas boas além de Jolene

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.

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.

amazing - she will be missed

Perfect timing

RIP!!!!! :'(

Un muy buen álbum de una gran mujer

Just like to give a shotout to the webmaster for being a genius in getting people to listen to Dolly Parton today, as a tribute to her passing. In any case, I can't believe I never heard or even knew of this album. I'm a fan of all three songwriters (to varying degrees) but perhaps was too ignorant to ever know that they collaborated together over the past decades. You can tell that they sincerely wanted to do something together, and apparently this was in the making since the mid-70s. The vocal harmonies are simply wonderful and Parton, Ronstadt, and Harris respectfully take turns sharing lead vocal duties, which add a lot of flavor and diversity to the album. The reviewers that can't tell the difference are really not listening carefully enough. Check out the reportoire on the album as well - tons of great session musicians from Ry Cooder to John Starling to Albert Lee which elevate the sound further. You look at the cover and feel it's going to be an 80s country "revival", and it's the opposite. I appreciate that they ditched any 80s cheesy trendy sounds for more roots/bluegrass, analogue sounds. Even the strings used are subdued enough. Is it country? Is it pop? It's something better, almost timeless. It's all about the vocal harmonies here and what these three legendary, mythical women bring to the music and to our hearts and souls. It's so easy to be moved, in the right frame of mind. I'm not as huge of a fan of the final 3 songs, though. They don't quite fit in as they are bit more dirgey in comparison to the others. So, this will get a 4.5, regardless. RIP Dolly Parton. Thank you for making our lives a little bit more positive and magical during these trying times.

Got to love them.

Rip the 🐐

Wednesday, 26 August, 2026 RIP Dolly! This was a great record. Their harmonies were like blood harmonies. The opening track and “wildflowers” were the standouts.

3 absolute powerhouse country singers that somehow sound even better together.

This is exactly how it felt learning the news. The world lost a true angel!

Really poetic to get this the day after Dolly passed, I’ve been meaning to listen to this for a minute. Some of it is a bit corny for me but then you get songs like Telling Me Lies, holy shit. What a chorus.

RIP Dolly. This is some country music I can get behind. The harmonies remind me of what I love so much about modern supergroup boygenius, I wonder if this was some inspiration to them. 1 listen Favorite Tracks: The Pain of Loving You, Wildflowers

What harmony. RIP, Dolly.

fuck man there's no way this rng is real. its too soon man.... cmon....... i'd been lookin foward to this coming up but rolling it literally less than a day after dolly parton died.... i like, have never been good at listening to an artist's music just after they died and so i've been repeatedly tearing up listening to this one. which makes it hard to really be like, objective about it but right now to me it's sounding pretty damn beautiful, especially the more somber tracks like "making plans" and "i've had enough". it's easily one of the best country albums we've gotten so far. i'm gonna have to come back to this one in a few months or so once i can make it thru without getting depressed and spacing out. rip dolly........

Even ignoring the cult of personality that is Saint Dolly, you have three legendary voices who complement each other extremely well. Dolly gets all of the focus, but do not overlook Emmylou or Linda.

Great harmonizing. Had to get this album today because of dolly's death. Probably enjoyed this more than the other dolly albums so far. Top song... This Memories of You

RIP Dolly Parton A pretty album with a trio of beautiful voices

Dolly (and Emmylou and Linda) is such an unbelievable talent.

What a beautiful voice, RIP Dolly

I think tbh I prefer unadulterated solo Dolly than this kinda format, it doesn't have the same kind of edge as her own stuff, but you know what it's hard to just divorce listening to this with the fact that she died yesterday so the gals can have four stars as a treat.

I love u dolly

This can’t be a coincidence, right? Like I know it’s ‘random’ but can anything operating off an algorithm be random. Bless ya, Dolly. Thanks for all the books. Anyhow, a mostly gem of an album- The best songs are all fronted by Dolly but every song has some moments of sheer beauty where these three very different, heavenly voices become the one thing and it’s the kind of sound that reverberates in your extremities for some time afterwards.

Rip Dolly, bravo website runner for giving us this one the day she passed I liked this one a good bit more than the first album we had from her. I think the variety of singers and the depth of harmonies really works on this one; it’s funny since usually I don’t care for harmonies (see Crosby Stills and Nash) but I think the vocal talent is so good it really does elevate it. It’s got a very comforting instrumentation with the soft country guitar that’s omnipresent in the genre. The variety’s surprisingly good in this, I don’t think it’s too samey which is the main complain I have about country in general Not a whole lot I dislike on this one, but it does get a tad repetitive towards the end and I can only take so much country fiddle. I wouldn’t really say there’s a huge standout for me on this, though everything’s pretty damn solid This was a pretty damn good album, and definitely got a little emotional with Rosewood Casket. With all the Dolly tributes I’ve seen on social media over the past few days I really do appreciate her a lot, and have to admit she’s a hell of a musician and even better of a person.

Rest in piece Dolly A really good piece of Neo-traditionalist country, lead by three of the queens of the country genre. The three work off of each other incredibly well, although I wish there were more tracks like "Farther Along" that had each of them have their own verse. Even still, hearing them harmonize with each other on most of the tracklist is still enough to have me satisfied throughout. The instrumentation is classic country with very few pop frills, making it stand out quite well among the dredge of country pop of the era that was much more corporate pop with a vague southern twang. Guitar legend Albert Lee and fiddler Mark O'Connor have some incredible solos throughout, showcasing their technical ability as well as the beautiful melodicism that they weave through every track. The songs kind of blend together during the middle of this album, but it starts and ends so strongly that it ends up making this project work overall.

Three beautiful voices that play so well together. I thoroughly enjoyed listening through it. While it's not an album I'd regularly revisit it's a thing of beauty to enjoy (possibly influenced by the utter nonsense that was yesterdays album and also because of Dolly's passing).

This is not complicated music, but it's perfectly executed by a backing band of Nashville's very finest, working with three magnificent voices in their prime. Their vocal blend suggests that they were always intended to sing together. It's a flawless album in a genre that doesn't do a lot for me, and normally that gets three stars, but I'm writing this the day after Dolly Parton passed, and I can't not give Dolly one extra star for the road. Best track: "Telling Me Lies"

Rest in Power, Dolly

Their voices together are perfect.

Lovely.

Dolly my dear, we love you forever. Linda Ronstadt has an absolutely singular voice (see: Hobo's Meditation). Dolly's voice is pure comfort and hope. Emmylou makes the harmony complete. Their performances here are superb, their friendship adds such depth. I am glad for this album. Those Memories of You is a banger. Smokin' bluegrass vibes. Listening to Dolly singing Rosewood Casket on today of all days... Also, this album cover is channeling Designing Women. Hmm....Hobo's Meditation is kind of Puff the Magic Dragon as a half speed waltz.

Fine greier.

Er ikke en stor fan av sjangeren men denne funket fint her på morgenen. Er ekstra gavemild pga dødsfall og cup-size

Wow… spooky timing de este sitio

Not her best work but I’ll go 4 out of respect.

Can't tell if the owner of this site did a quick update to force a Dolly Parton album to those who haven't seen it yet, or this is supremely coincidental. Either way, I'm grateful that today's album is Dolly Parton -- a day after she's passed away. Dolly is one of my favorite country artists, her music has a wide accessibility and range and she was prolific. It's fun to know she did a collab with other powerhouses Linda Ronstadt and Emmylou Harris. RIP to the queen of country.

While not being any level of fan of any of these three women, I certainly bear none of them any ill will. I found the entire endeavour charming as all get out. No fuss or tussle, just some good old fashioned country music, well-executed. Dolly’s passing this week put me in a very giving state of mind. If I didn’t know this website’s intentions are as pure as the driving snow, I’d suspect 1001 albums of trying to juice this album’s numbers.

Manipulative move, random album generator. Get us while we’re all emotional and get those stars flowing. I’m not mad about it. But I’ll remember. I’ll grab those stars back when the next Emmylou Harris album comes along, which is hopefully never.

C’était super chill et bien RIP dolly

Need to re-listen and let it sink in, but great production and vocals...probably rounding up since we just lost Dolly, but I love the song "Wildflowers", which is one of the ones she wrote.

Class

Absolutely delightful, RIP big lad

On my first listen I would have rated it a 2, but on a second listen it really grew on me

Dolly, we did not deserve you. #PatronSaint

Excellent. Might be 5 stars. Can hear the influences on the chicks and wailing jennys here. ❤️

Let's start with this: Dolly gets ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ in life. She was a great entertainer, a talented songwriter, a savvy businesswoman, a charming and prudent interviewee, a serious moral and spiritual thinker, and an authentically kind and generous person. Musically, she's always been hit or miss for me. She has a powerful voice but a rather popular sensibility that borders on corny at times (maybe we all do, I dunno. Johnny Cash even had it). The Trio albums have some of that corniness, or schmaltz, maybe, wch can make it feel like a gimmick. But I can't deny the vocal talent, and EmmyLou elevates everything she's on. So, it's uneven for me. The opening track is strong, then I start to drift, then Wildflowers pulls me back, then Telling Me Lies tests my patience. Then that first harmony in Those Memories of You overcomes me completely, and from there I'm pretty much in for the rest of the album. After the Goldrush is legit beautiful and had me tearing up. It's not quite masterpiece or pantheon level for me, but I guess I have to reward it for finding its way into me, wch is not easy for anything to do.

RIP Dolly. From the cover and from when this album was made I expected it to sound very of its time. Thankfully this does not sound like the Judds (who are awesome) or other country music made in 1987 (which can also be great). To my surprise this sounds more like a country album made in the tradition of The Carters or bluegrass. There are some guitar parts that act as bridges that sound 80s but not in a bad way. Great album by 3 great artists.

The way they harmonized on this album is just amazing

Pas mauvais, pas mon style de country non plus. J'essaye fort d'aimer Emmylou Harris. C'est vrai que les filles ont des belles voix... mais c'est à peu près tout.

Nice

RIP Dolly <3

A nice tribute.

Like proto-Boygenius

I am sure this showed up in my feed not by random choice day (the day after Dolly passed away on 8/25/26) but the site owner pushed it out to folks who hasn't listened to it yet. I'm not going to complain but I thought this was a very nice way to remember Dolly! Loved all three voices and I'll let the country heavy focus of this album slide today. RIP Dolly.

3.5

RIP Dolly. beautiful harmonies but quite of a few of the songs are pretty lacking overall.

Getting this the day after Dolly's passing is likely not a coincidence. She was quite possibly one of the most wonderful humans this world has ever seen. Beyond her talent, she was deep down a wonderful person that truly wanted to do good not because it made her look good but because it was the right thing to do. Now onto the album... I love this Trio. I love that they did this because they enjoyed each other so much that they wanted to collaborate and sing songs together. I also love girl power and women coming together to do something together. A lot of times they sounds amazing together. My Dear Companion gave me goosebumps. Each voice individually was beautiful and my favorite songs were when one of them was the lead and the others were back up. For me Hobo's Meditation didn't work, because I don't know if their voices worked perfectly together. But all in all it was a great album to experience and brought a smile to my heart.

ok

Dolly such an icon

Don't know if todays album roll was intentional, 2026/08/26. RIP Dolly Parton

Great time my for her death. She’s a true dem!

Beautiful but a bit slow for me. Except for Wildflowers. I really loved that one.

Pretty surreal for this to be my first album after Dolly Parton passed away. I quite enjoyed this, great vocal performances, it is a little slow compared to what I usually listen to but that seems fitting considering the circumstances.

Country music with female vocals

dolly gets all the love

Really great. Interesting timing for this one, as this was put on shortly after her death. Maybe intentionally? Probably. Anyway, this album is great and I love all three of these women. Points taken off for some of the songs being way more memorable than others, in my humble opinion. But this was a great listen. Especially loved Making Plans, Wildflowers, Telling Me Lies, and Farther Along

RIP Dolly

RIP Dolly what a legend

Beautiful voices, smooth and polished sound. Not my usual listen, but a pleasurable and relaxing album to listen to.

Nice, I actually see this more as easy listening on a cold rainy day

Gosh this is a beautiful, difficult listen today. I'm really sad we've lost Dolly, but it's also amazing to have been alive when she was. What an amazing person and musician. It's a poignant, melancholy, classic country album. It's beautiful, and well made. I enjoyed this with a tear in my eye. Nobody will ever forget Dolly. May she rest in peace.

very nice album. I really enjoyed the harmonies of the 3 singers and liked the songs. overall a great album

Have I listened to this album before No How familiar am I with this album Unfamiliar How do I feel about this artist? I like these three women separately, I’ve never heard them together Pre-Listen Thoughts: Dolly just passed, so a bunch of people got this one today, I predict 4 Favorite track(s): Those Memories of You Post-Listen Thoughts: Country at-large is never going to be my favorite, but I like this style. Their voice is blended very well and this album was very pretty and fun. RIP queen :(

i got this album the day after dolly died. cried a little bit. not my fave style of music, but the harmonies were insane

Their voices are beautiful together. I was hoping for a Dolly album today after her passing, and am very glad you're honoring her.

It's just so pleasant to listen to.

Getting this album the day after Dolly passes is kismet. 😢 I was unfamiliar with this album so I am happy to hear it today.

Traditional country and folk music with three great singers. I can imagine this being a bit of a breath of fresh air in the late 80s as synth, hair metal, post punk, etc were all eschewing the use of acoustic instruments. And it holds up today as it would then, sounds fresh. 4.

Amazing harmonies on this record to the point you were think there was relation between Parton, Ronstadt, and Harris. I also really enjoyed the subject matter of the album with the slow feel of the music really adding emphasis to the emotional lyrics. One of those records that really highlight the genre it’s apart of. I will say some of the production choices are questionable to my ears and I feel like some songs are weaker than others. This is one of those records I wish I was there when it came out because it seems like this supergroup was one that could really move mountains. Fav songs: the pain of loving you, making plans, Hobos meditation, wildflowers, and Rosewood casket

This was lovely. And a great album to wake up to as it feels like the whole country is mourning Dolly. She was the best of us. I love hearing her with Emmylou and Linda (who I think has one of the best rock voices of all time). Great mix of leads and harmonies.

I'm not sure if this is just sheer coincidence or not but I got this album the day after Dolly passed away. Seems fitting to be listening today. Dolly was a titan, even though I didn't listen to much of her music. Linda and Emmylou are dope too. But this album is an awesome piece of music.

This was a special one as Dolly had just passed away the day before. This was the first full Dolly album I've listened to. The harmonies of her with Linda Rondstadt & Emmylou Harris were beautiful. Dolly's voice stood out as my favorite and she took the lead on a few songs, likely cause she write them. Dolly was a saint and one of the few people that truly used her power for good.

#226 - Did everyone seem to get this album yesterday? It seems I got this the day after Dolly's passing, which would have been coincidental in itself. but then my girlfriend also got this album the same day, and in the time we have been doing this, we have never had the same album. It was a timely listen. At any rate, this is a pretty good album bringing together three iconic voices in music. Vocal leads are spread pretty evenly throughout, and the harmonies are what you listen for. There are good songs on here, but like others have said, if you listen to the lyrics behind the melodies and harmonies, you hear a lot of sad tales. To hear any of these ladies sing is well worth the listen though, even if you are not a fan of their music individually. Biggest Hit - Wildflowers Biggest Miss (if I had to choose) - Hobo's Meditation Hidden Gem - Farther Along

Angelic voices. Those outfits on the cover gave me a good chuckle.

RIP Dolly! I had never heard this record. I like the old traditional country sound of it.

Banger

shockingly good.

Dolly Parton passed away yesterday. I am sure that this being today's suggestion is intentional. I'm not a country music fan, but I am a huge fan of Dolly Parton as a human and obviously recognize her global influence on country music and beyond. As the writer of "I will Always Love You" that was a hit for Dolly and a HUGE hit for Whitney Houston - her skills as a writer, her influence, and presence are inarguable. Add Linda Ronstadt and Emmylou Harris - 2 more legends - into the mix and Something really special happens. Pitchfork: 7.8 Rolling Stone: n/a Best Songs Wildflowers Telling Me Lies Those Memories of You Farther Along

Not my usual shtick but really good album, top example of its genre.

On one hand, I am grateful to get this nicely-done collaboration from three talented ladies who acted as the LeBron- D Wade - Bosh Raptor Man of their respective genre. On the other, I am very sad that Dolly Parton is no longer with us. But all in all, I am forever honored that I got to spend this week remembering her through her music and kindness to the world. Dolly, was someone that though I didn't know so well, was still someone I was a fan of. The entire world was a fan of Dolly Parton. And now we sit or stand, heart hung low and head held high to the light where she now lives. Emmylou and Linda, I know you're right with us in this feeling as well. A moving record fit to remember a legend - a term which Dolly helped define (8/10, 4/5 on this scale)

Listened on the day of Dolly’s departure. Lovely country album with such iconic voices combining beautifully. However, Wildflowers was my favourite.

Really enjoyable. The three voices on display here combine into something beautiful, and the instrumentation is almost minimalist in its approach. That feels right on these songs. The run of tracks Hobo's Meditation, Wildflowers, and Telling Me Lies was my favorite section of the album.

Dolly Parton was one of a kind as an entertainer and philanthropist. Don't need to go into more of the details that aren't already public but very few people have had her type of widespread impact over the years. May her memory be a blessing. As for this album, it's good and fun and a lot of great country standards. But the combined forces of the trio don't always match their solo outputs.

QEPD Dolly. 3.5

O sisters, where art thou?

Lovely. RIP Dolly

RIP Dolly. Hobo's meditation is my pick. Also enjoyed Wildflowers, Wildflowers is a great tune.. Not really a country music guy but I still found a number of enjoyable songs on this album. This Memories of You is a other one. Definitely an enjoyable album

I'm not a Country music fan, but I appreciate the All-Star level talent here. It would have been nice if they would have done at least one song that didn't sound so country though. RIP Dolly Rebecca Parton Dean (19 January 1946 - 25 August 2026) The world is definitely less bright, and sparkly, without you.

very beautiful :)

Wonderful trio.

This popped up the morning after Dolly died.

Three beautiful voices, some lovely country instrumentation and some sad songs about heartbreak and loss. I liked it!

What a beautiful harmonization between three fantastic ladies. The songs all sounded a bit similar, though.

Ein sehr schönes Album von drei echten Gesangs-Größen der 70/80er. Es plätschert zwar etwas dahin, ist aber definitiv hörenswert. 4/5

- This was generated for me the day after Dolly Parton passed. A very coincidental and melancholic gut punch. That being said, a very cool discovery. - Parton is phenomenal here. Just...just wonderful. "Wildflowers" is like a hug from the universe. - I do think a couple of tracks are a bit aged. While these all speak to bygone eras, many tracks are timeless while a couple feel straight out of 1987. I do think these are largely led by Linda Ronstadt. (Sorry, Linda.)

This is a cool little supergroup. Great tunes. I am sure this is a great album, just not a fan of country. Good stuff.

I'm starting to think this list is sentient or the creator is pulling some strings because the day after Dolly Parton dies I get a Dolly Parton album? Same thing happened after the day after Ozzy died. Anyway, weird coincidences aside, this album was pretty good.

Great!

It's a tad staid, artistically, and the performances are all very Nashville (by the book; straight and narrow). But Jesus, I don't think we'll ever hear three voices that sound more beautiful together. And the fact that they could make such a lush, beautiful recording in the mid-80s is a testament to their commitment to preserving tradition.

Their voices intertwine so perfectly. A classic and timeless installation of country music. I love the gospel influence as well. My favorites were Making Plans, Wildflowers, and Farther Along. It makes me want to get more into each of these artist’s solo music

Like the rest of the American public, I have gotten more into country music lately, and this is rock-solid, beautiful, melancholy country music.

Voices of angels and appropriate timing The band was jamming as well. Really good country R.i.p Dolly

A really good piece of Neo-traditionalist country, headed by three of the queens of the country genre. The three work off of each other incredibly well, although I wish there were more tracks like "Farther Along" that had each of them have their own verse. Even still, hearing them harmonize with each other on most of the tracklist is still enough to have me satisfied throughout. The instrumentation is classic country with very few pop frills, making it stand out quite well among the dredge of country pop of the era that was much more corporate pop with a vague southern twang. Guitar legend Albert Lee and fiddler Mark O'Connor have some incredible solos throughout, showcasing their technical ability as well as the beautiful melodicism that they weave through every track. The songs kind of blend together during the middle of this project, but it starts and ends so strongly that it ends up making this project work overall.

Not my cup of tea, but the album listen was very enjoyable.

3.5/5 liked the sound more than the songs. Their voices sound great together, but none of the songs had me craving a revisit.

Fantastic throughout 4

Ouvi este álbum com o coração pesado pela perda tremenda da Dolly Parton. Passei o dia de ontem inteiro emotiva, vendo vídeos de entrevistas e performances dela. Uma pessoa singular, uma mulher espetacular. Gentileza na sua forma mais pura, ainda assim tenaz e pro-ativa pelo que acreditava. Este álbum me pesou o coração de outra forma, entretanto. É linda a música caipira, em seus diversos formatos (do folk/voz e violão, aos arranjos de violino, piano e sanfona). Me entristece o que aconteceu com o sertanejo brasileiro, a forma como foi cooptado pela indústria. Ver as ações da Dolly, que doava seu dinheiro pelo que acreditava, que investiu em educação, saúde, moradia, é o real espírito caipira, que infelizmente ao meu ver se perdeu em meu país. Obrigada por muito, Dolly.

#ripalegend

RIP Dolly❤️

😭😭😭

i liked it. i like country anyways. i think it’s not the most amazing album. but theres charm in the simplicity of the songs

What a lovely pick for today. I love all 3 of these Artists and this was a treat of an album. 8/10

ok

Those Memories of You and Telling Me Lies are truly incredible songs!

Style is old fashioned, but the lyrics and harmonies are beautiful

Good music! Loved wildflower

Country? Country cantato da una voce femminile? 100volte si. Che voce sublime e lo scopro solo il giorno della sua scomparsa.

Lovely. Samey, but a lovely kind of samey

It’s crazy that this was my rolled album like, a day after her death. Bro. But anyway… I really liked it. Hobo’s Meditation and Wildflowers spoke a lot to me, and the beautiful instrumentals and chorus soothed my ailing mind.

Man they gave me a Dolly Parton album the day after she passes. The Universal algorithm is weird. Great album, some solid hits, but a few lulls. Rounding up to 4.

Playing on a tape deck in Elijah's room at Somerset.

Rest in Peace, Dolly. You'll be greatly missed and thank you so much for the music.

Absolute gut-punch seeing this as the assigned album today. Well played 1001albumsgenerator. Well played. Dolly, Linda and Emmylou's voices are so beautiful and ethereal together. A melancholy delight. Fav Tracks: "Hobo's Meditation", "Wildflowers" and "Telling Me Lies".

I’m not a country music guy, but I really enjoyed this.

Really loved the vibe and sound of the album. Hadn’t ever heard it before snd loved all three artists! Will listen to more of each!

Some very beautiful songs

:( icon

Is it any coincidence that I got this album the day after Dolly passed away? Such a special voice and spirit, amplified incredibly by Linda Ronstadt and Emmylou Harris.

Feels kinda crazy that I got this album today. I've never been a huge fan of country, but these three woman are so talented that it doesn't really matter to me at all. RIP Dolly Highlights: To Know Him is to Love Him Hobo's Meditation Wildflowers My Dear Companion Those Memories of You I've Had Enough

Great harmonizing I guess this is good old country music Don't know much about the genre any way

All country artists should be aspiring to these three.

beautiful

I loved this. I have never listened to Dolly Parton or Linda Ronstadt on purpose, but I did already know and adore Emmylou Harris’ powerful and beautiful vocals. The three (or “trio”) sound wonderful together. I would love to hear more of this.

Just the prettiest voices you've ever heard!

I'm not crying, you're crying. The soft guitars, the angelic harmonies...a fitting way to honor Dolly by being assigned this album.

How fitting that I get this album the morning after Dolly dies. I’m admittedly not a country music fan, but I’ll be damned, this album was beautiful. 4/5.

rest in peace to one of the best to ever do it </3

I actually liked this one a lot more than I expected I would. It's very melancholic from a woman's perspective. I'd listen to it again.

Rest in peace Dolly Parton

Dolly just died and this album comes up... What timing. Absolutely beautiful album. Can't believe it's just their first album together, they worked together so well. Rip Dolly

Wow! The timing here too. Dolly just passing the day before this was recommended. Very strong. 8

RIP Dolly. What voices, man this is an easy listen.

This was a good one

Really spooky how this got randomly generated for me a day after Dolly's passing, but I'm glad it did because I never really got around to listening to any of her music despite knowing how prolific she was. As for this album, I loved it. Very similar themes lyrically the whole way through which got a little old but their 3 voices together was just bliss to listen to. 4/5

What a great album. Hearing three different legends share the spotlight was amazing. Loved how the music varied too. Expected it to be just country music. While it wasn't my favorite music, it definitely wowed me. Favorite tracks were: Making Plans, Wildflowers, Telling Me Lies, and Farther Along

Some really fucking good classic old school country music. Dolly, you were/are a real life super hero. The world is less good without you here. 💔

8/10

Excellent harmonies from three great singers. Favorite tracks: Making Plans, To Know Him Is to love Him, Wildflowers

Some cheesier 80s cuts I didn't care for, but overall I enjoyed it.

RIP 😭

I mean this is great, three incredible voices. Maybe no the best songs, which knocks it one star for me, but sung beautifully for sure. And getting this the day after Dolly's passing just really hits hard.

It says trio but it really feels like Dolly is taking the lead. I listened to this on a slow but scenic commute which really helped to highlight the more earthy elements of this work

RIP Dolly

RIP Dolly. A great human being.

RIP Dolly Parton

Enjoyable! I think I generally preferred the Dolly Parton songs a bit more. "Wildflowers" was the stand out for me, but also enjoyed "The Pain of Loving You" "To Know Him Is to Love Him" and "Those Memories of You"

Some of the greatest female artists in country music together at last!

Ah, the pain of losing Dolly yesterday. Love these three and the sounds they made. A nice throwback country album, even for the time. Great old school country and western (we have both kinds!) with a big helping of bluegrass. They would have done well at Bob's Country Bunker.

Incredible album, and a lovely reminder of their amazing voices together. Loved every second of it.

R.I.P. Dolly

Beautiful voices, poignant songs. R.I.P. Dolly.

A beautiful album about love and loss. Nothing groundbreaking, but Parton, Ronstadt, and Harris all sound phenomenal together, which makes for an all-around lovely listen. How fitting for this album to come up the day after the passing of the legendary Dolly Parton, Queen of Country. Her body may be gone but her spirit will live on!

Beautiful voices. Didn’t love every song choice but some of them really knocked my socks off.

rip dolly

I got this album the day after the world lost an angel. I never listened to Dolly's music not too much, but I have admired her as a philanthropist. I really hope she knew how important she was to so so many people, and that people will remember her not just for her career but also for being one of the most pure hearted people out there. Trio is a beautiful piece of art. The three women's voices blend together to sound even more ethereal than what they alone could, while retaining their distinction. I really enjoy this genre of music. Rest in piece ❤️‍🩹

very pleasant

Syrup-y. And not in a bad way.

Making Plans Those Memories of You

Lovely. RIP Dolly. 4.5

Nice timing to get a dolly album. This one was a bit up and down for me but still will give it 4* because it’s Dolly. Some tracks were great while a handful of others were cringy.

Not really my thing but I don’t hate it

lovely

Dolly is an icon. This album with Linda & EmmyLou is a solid country album. Given Dolly’s recent passing, it’s nice to see her work on this list.

Trio of great ladies!

RIP Dolly

i would not put this on myself, ever, but i appreciate the craziness of 3 icons colliding and the even crazier craziness of dolly's bipartisan audience. what's the matter, album reviewer, afraid to hand out a 4 for something other than sound?

RIP Dolly!

I hope these women purchased a gun

Angelic

How can one possibly dislike this album. Easy listening harmonies, songs, and arrangements. It is exactly what it is trying to be. I love it

I never rated this! This was amazing and so nice that they made this the album after dolly passed :( Very glad I’ve heard this now! It’s great.

All three of their voices were pretty pleasant. Although I may not elect to listen to any of these tracks on my own, I'll give it the slight bump to a 4 because I feel like this quality of vocals can be hard to come by for one artist, let alone three. RIP Dolly

Expected to not love it and pleasantly surprised. RIP

This is a good album, but it's not great or incredible, but it's very good. The singing is immaculate. The music is comforting and classic (not the bad 80's country), but it just doesn't have more than one or two songs that rise above a "good" to very good album. I'd give it 3.5 stars, but I am going to bump to 4 for this scale, as I do think it rises above the "average" 3 stars just due to the star power and the classic nature of the music.

very enjoyable even as someone that doesn't largely listen to country music, really beautiful vocals

Dolly ❤️😭

Another album I hadn't heard for nearly four decades before today. I know this one because it is the sound of a prairie Friday night after the dishes have been put away and the spirits have just been opened. There is an exquisite pain in these ladies' voices that reaches out and provides a kind of understanding - it offers a way of saying things for people who rarely say much and who are surrounded by vast swathes of emptiness. If I close my eyes while listening to this album, I can almost see the bold purple hues of a giant sky and underneath it, a cloister of people who live day to day in the kind of places that most folks merely fly over or smirk at when they hear their names. There is a camaraderie in this music for those kinds of people. And these ladies understood it and poured their own hearts into the songs here , which so neatly express the feeling of existing in these lonely places. This is the kind of music I grew up with, surrounded by, and lived through, It's where a huge chunk of my youthful memories reside. At that time, I was not a fan, but the years have taught me to appreciate it a little more. Having said that, I've heard enough of it to last the rest of my life and I suspect I won't return to this one even though I don't dislike it. There's just too much baggage for me. The standout track here is "Telling Me Lies", which features the soaring vocals of Emmylou Harris. The rest of the album is remarkable for its smart collaboration. Each singer is given enough space by the others to shine in the right places. On other tracks (especially "My Dear Companion"), the use of harmony is balanced so tenderly with the solo parts.

rip ❤️

Not my normal beat but you gotta love dolly parton a true icon

Good vibes and from a legend no less but I do not think I would listen to this on a daily basis.

apaixonada por esse album, com certeza vou ouvir ele mais vezes! anjos cantando :(

emocionada de ter ouvido esse nesse dia. sou familiarizada com a dolly por ela ser a cantora favorita da minha mãe então até que escuto bastante country. vocais imaculados!!!

Dolly Parton is an inspiration to all and has the voice of an angel. Wildflowers and Hobo meditation were stand out to me in this album.

3 queens joining forces to maximize their joint slay… thee original boygenius… beautiful that we all got a dolly album todayy for the most part instrumentally simple, such tight lush harmonies that need very little accompaniment wise favorites: wildflowers, those memories of you 🙂‍↕️ you guys i’m starting to think they might not make country music like this anymore

Nok ei plate som ville kjapt blitt avvist av ein yngre meg. Ikkje høyrt den før, og det var ein fin lytt. Flott spel og kjenslevare soloparti løfter plata, og ingen svake spor.

Gud signe Dolly Parton. Dette er ei nydeleg plate, nydeleg sunge og nydeleg spela. To know him is to love him eit høgdepunkt, med ein beskjeden Ry Cooder på tremologitar og gåsehudsolo av David Lindley og slide’n hans. Litt balladetung er den kanskje og det hadde ikkje gjort noko om dei hadde reindyrka blågrasformatet meir, men pytt. 8/10

Dolly/Linda/Emmylou - Trio Einig i at det er mange og mange gode balladar på denne plata som visstnok hadde vore i planane eit tiår før den blei til. Tidvis syns eg desse stemmene følgjer kvarandre litt i tettaste laget (me treng vel alle høyre berre Emmylou Harris synge av og til), men steike for nokre låtar - enten dei er skrevne av andre eller dei sjølve. 8/10

Beautiful

Absolutely beautiful album. RIP Dolly Parton

Lovely. Will probably never listen again but still…

rip a queen, kinda loved this probably closer to a 5 than a 3

Wow those ladies are pretty good at singing!

Three powerhouse voices, lots of heart and soul, and the three-part harmonies kick ass

RIP their voices sound great in this

RIP Dolly

Every bit as good as it should be, and maybe even better than that. Three of the most distinct voices in the history of American music, and together they are a new beast entirely. These three on their own always pick great songs and great players, and Trio is no exception. The mandolin here is exceptional. I'm sure we'll come back to this, but Linda Ronstadt is probably my favorite singer ever. I get goosebumps every time she grabs the mic. I'm really to believe it's coincidence that we got this album the day after Dolly's passing? RIP, angel-singer.

A pleasant album. RIP Dolly.

RIP Dolly. This is a powerhouse trio. Low 4

Awesome listen. Big folk names on this one. I wonder if the timing was purposeful given Dolly’s death

#84 Parton, Ronstadt, and Harris have great chemistry on this album, sharing lead and backing vocal duties on a nice mix of traditional country and folk songs and some covers. The band deserves praise too, they sound great. Highlights: Those Memories Of You, The Pain Of Loving You, To Know Him Is To Love Him, Telling Me Lies RIP Dolly

7.5

Swear I’m not just grieving miss dolly but I actually liked this a lot. Their voices are all gorgeous and blend so well and the instrumentation is very fun and pretty. The songs were kind of sad? But boo men! I liked wildflower quite a bit probs my favorite. And we love you dolly parton!!! Truly wonderful queen icon greatest woman to ever walk this earth goddess queen perfect perfect perfect already missed so much

Rip to an absolute legend

RIP Dolly

Sweet as honey and as soothing as a cool salve on a hot day.

The holy trinity of country music. Amazing how they harmonise. It’s is a beautiful record. Thank you for making me listen on the day that Dolly has died. RIP Dolly Parton

This was a pleasant and enjoyable listen. Glad I got to hear it!!

I'm not sure if I was waxing poetic bc Dolly just died but I enjoyed it more than I expected

Not extremely exciting but very comforting, wistful, nice. Especially liked Wildflowers and Farther Along. "So I uprooted myself from my home ground and left Took my dreams and I took to the road When a flower grows wild It can always survive Wildflowers don't care where they grow"

Beautiful harmonies and love more country songs. B I’m not a huge fan of voice +piano only, so some of the sings lost me. All in all lovely

Enjoyable, not really my thing. I like it best when the band is heard being twangy and brisk. Which is obviously not the point of a record showcasing three legendary singers. So ... good record, for which I am clearly not the target audience. Wildflowers and Those Memories of You for me are highlights. Telling Me Lies makes time slow down. I'm listening to the Deluxe Edition, which rolls from Trio into Trio II. The followup seems to be better than the original. They change the lyrics on After the Gold Rush to avoid singing "I felt like getting high" ... oh, normie America ... !

Well I got this album today and the opportunity to review it on August 26th, 2026, officially a day after Dolly Parton has passed away. While I'm not in the habit of holding obituaries for celebrities I never knew personally, by all accounts Dolly was a saint that left behind a huge legacy of being a truly great person in a world that can be typically bleak for so many people. I don't know if this was truly random or if the people behind this website tweaked the generator somewhat, but I can't fault them really when it's someone as iconic as Dolly. I've gone on record before regarding this style of country; I do actually adore this sappy and somewhat corny style of it. Not something I'd put on regularly and I would expand on some critiques regarding the pacing of the album, but considering the circumstances of today and about how it should be remembering the legacy of Dolly Parton, I'll just leave the most objective score here I can and move on.

First listen to this album of these fine ladies ! And it’s a gooder

Jamais écouté avant. Forcément un peu particulier de découvrir un album de Dolly Parton le lendemain de son décès. D'autant que l'album en question n'est pas exactement un grand moment de joie et de festivités. Comme souvent dans le peu que je connais de la country, et en particulier dans sa version revivaliste, il est beaucoup question de cœurs et de destins brisés, chantés avec émotion sur des mélodies déchirantes. Et c'est très beau, d'autant que les trois interprètes, trois superstars du genre, sont extrêmement talentueuses, et les harmonies de leurs voix magnifiques. Un Trio à conseiller même à ceux qui disent être allergiques à la country, pour leur montrer la richesse et la beauté du genre, quand il est pratiqué par des artistes brillantes et attachantes, loin de l'ambiance redneck dégueulasse que certains cultivent avec gourmandise (je ne me suis pas encore remis de l'immonde Dwight Yoakam...). RIP Dolly Top : Wildflowers Flop : I've Had Enough

Some of the best vocal harmonies ever put to record, at least in the country scene. Three legends knocking it out of the park. Wish it mixed it up on the tempo a little bit, while these numbers are gorgeous, they are all pretty downtempo for the most part.

Love.

Absolutely love this album

I've listened to this album a couple of times now. I really liked the harmonies and don't care if this came into the queue because of Dolly's death. She's a legend, a gem, and should be treasured.

Beautiful.

RIP dolly. that aside, this music was lovely but also quite sad - the topics were depressing!

Enjoyed this me! 3.5 RIP dolly

Heel country, maar ik heb er enorm.van genoten. Hun stemmen klinken heel mooi samen.

Heel toevallig...??

Truly some delightful country music.

A really solid classic country album. RIP Dolly, your music is timeless, your reach limitless, and your kindness unceasing. An album full of slower love songs, this album is a quality display of what country can be when it isn't mixed with pop and marketed to morons through songs about muddin, drinking, and God.

A great collab

Brilliant singing. Brilliant musically. Veers a little too far into sentimentality for my liking at time.

It's an album filled with Country music royalty. Each songstress is lovely and a master of her craft in their own unique ways. While I'm not the biggest fan of modern country, I can absolutely get into this.

Beautiful harmonies, it's three greats coming together and making angelic music. I love Linda and Emmylou, and I know that Dolly's passing yesterday has me quite emotional, but man will I miss her light. You were beautiful, and loved.

RIP DOLLY

Not my type of music, really wouldn’t normally listen to this but no denying how good they all are.

Different speed to Smashing Pumpkins but a very pleasant listen nonetheless

Emmylou Harris is really the greatest country singer ever and of course Dolly is the patron saint, so hard to go wrong here. And they didn't. Also I heard good things about this Linda Ronstadt gal too. That said I like Trio II better.

Considering all the death talk on this album—"Rosewood Casket," "Farther Along"—it's sadly appropriate for the day after Dolly died. The songs she leads are the best, and the rest are okay. 3.5 stars, rounding up to four for a goddamn legend and icon.

Rip to a real one. Loved this exposure to Dolly beyond the 9-5

What a balm. Dolly, Linda, and Emmylou make a divine trio. I will definitely be returning to this album. “Just a wild mountain rose / Needing freedom to grow.” Thanks for this treat, generator.

god bless dolly parton. putting together the country avengers Would I listen again: sometimes Deserves to be on this list: literally yes 4.0

I think their voices are beautiful, the harmonies are lovely and they work really well together. I really enjoyed it, but I think it’s one I would have to be in the right mood to listen to. Very lovely to have on in the background though. Like lots of people, I got this one after Dolly Parton’s death. Feel like I have to mention what an incredible person she was. So much respect for her. Fav song: Those Memories of You Least fav: I’ve Had Enough

I just love women! And I love women who admire each other so much that they spend years figuring out how they can collaborate on an album. I think we pit female artists against each other far too much- and this is the kind of collaboration we're missing out on!!! Favourite song: The Pain of Loving You Least: I've Had Enough

The release date, reinforced by the sartorial choices on display on the cover, had me bracing for this to be a glossy, overproduced mess. But it’s not, mostly: The Linda Ronstadt-led “Telling Me Lies” is a nice song brought down by period production. The rest is quite lovely and sounds timeless, brimming with chiming vocal harmonies. “Wildflowers” is a great song and I love their version of “Those Memories of You.”

Dirty trick to make us review this the day after Dolly's death, but I'll play along.

R.I.P. Dolly Parton :( This album is so good! The harmonies are so good and the songwriting is superb. I have no gripes with this album and literally enjoyed everything. I can't say how often I will reach for this album again, BUT I enjoyed my listen for sure! It was fun! Liked Songs: The whole album R.I.P. Dolly Parton

schönes Album

Dolly was such an amazing person. Also an amazing and very recognizable vocalist. I'm not the biggest fan of the type of country music that she usually makes, but I can recognize greatness even if I don't like something much.

RIP to the legendary, generous Dolly Parton this week. Some time ago - a little bit to my surprise - I discovered I tend to really like her stuff ("Hard Candy Christmas" is a favorite; also "Jolene" and "9 to 5"), but despite that I'd still never gone out and listened to a full album of hers. With her passing this week I listened to Trio and also (working ahead) her other list album, Coat of Many Colors. I found Trio enjoyable; it's a pleasant little country collaboration. I, too, have contemplated the possibility of rail travel in the afterlife. But I do think the book should look at replacing this with another more noteworthy and deserving Dolly option. I haven't heard it, but surely her 1974 album Jolene - which has both "Jolene" and "I Will Always Love You" - would be a stronger selection? "Jolene" especially seems to be on a really strong footing in 2026; I feel like it's even gained steam over the last 10-15 years.

A sad listen today because national treasure, Dolly Parton died yesterday. This was never my style of music, more like my grandmother's style but their harmony and especially because of DP's legacy of being a great person, I'll take this to 4 stars.

The solo vocals on this album are worthy of 5 stars. The vocal harmonies are worthy of 5 stars. Stylistically, if it leaned more heavily toward bluegrass and less toward country, I'd leave it there. I can't go lower than 4 stars, though, even if the pedal steel drives me nuts. 4 stars

Really nice and relaxing. Plus one point for dying.

Legend. Amazing voice and song writer

Lovely to hear this to commemorate her passing. What a fabulous woman you were, Dolly 💖
