Trio

LEGENDS

Harmony, harmony, harmony! Some of the slower songs slow down my interest, but overall I love it.

This was sweet and easy to listen to.

This album is fucking beautiful and delivers everything that you'd think it could, given the fact that it's three great artists coming together 4/5

Linda Ronstadt, Emmylou Harris, and Dolly Parton - how can you go wrong? A lot of heartbreak on here, great traditional country flawlessly executed.

This isn't really my thing, but I quite enjoyed it. However, I was amazed the album was recorded in 1987. It sounds a lot more old fashioned than that. Like stepping back in time.

A fine album of beautiful music by 3 singers of unquestionable talent 4 stars

You can't argue that these three women have great voices that blend well. For me, I find the choice of songs could have had more variety so 4 stars or B- is my rating.

I feel like they've all done better things, the songwriting lacked a little for me (except for Wildflowers...) Still a cool listen. I felt like I should be getting emotional over a cold beer in a saloon.

I feel like this style of country is the cousin to Soul. I’m not sure which style, or at least what’s the name but. The themes of love and heartbreak, the composition strongly focuses on the singers voice with only complementary instrumental accompaniment. My personal enjoyment is a 3, but the lyrics and it being Dolly Parton makes it a 4

Really liked it!

I really like all three artists and have listened to almost all of their 70s albums. I was a bit worried about this release being from the 80s and how it might sound. To my surprise, it still carries that 70s vibe, and it’s really good. The album has a somewhat melancholic feel, so you need to be in the right mood, but it's a great listen.

The songs with Dolly as lead are the standouts to me but with only 2 exceptions (To Know Him and Telling Lies) this is a very good record. A little more bluegrass would have brought the energy up a bit.

El artista no es Dolly Parton. Es el trío formado por Dolly Parton, Linda Ronstadt, and Emmylou Harris.

Vocals from all three are really nice in this one. It's not something I'd listen to often, but will enjoy when I do hear parts of it again in the future.

I really enjoyed this! A very powerful trio with fantastic harmonies.

Gives the Highwaymen a run for their money

This was some quality folksy country music. Dolly is a pure talent. Enjoyed this, but don't expect to be back quickly. Low 4 / 5

Great album. Feels good to listen to. Good pipes and a chill guitar.

Wow this was so very beautiful! What incredible harmonies and ranges. I was surprised how much I enjoyed this. Lovely storytelling.

Great album, excellent voices and stories and kept me hooked.

A true delight, so many gems. The musicality of the album is masterful.

Very nice as a bit of chilled background country, if there was a music equivalent of country music it might be this

seemingly deliberately unrevelatory, which is just fine by me. what could be an incredible amount of pomp and circumstance gathering this level of fame and talent instead presents itself as so inevitable as if to be mundane, if beautiful (especially in the harmonies ofc). ive often played animal crossing while listening to the albums from this project, this was one of the best pairs yet for obvious reasons. lindas outfit on the cover is incredible

So beautiful. Sad but absolutely lovely.

So lush, those voices harmonizing!

Good album. Iconic trio. Not my absolute favorite but I can respect it.

The best country album I've heard on here. it's so sickeningly sweet at times, particularly in the vocal delivery, but gosh darnit doesn't it sound right. Also some great work from the instrumentalists here. I wasn't that into a couple of the tracks at the end, it felt like it ran out of ideas to deliver a solid close the album.

Amazing voices and timeless songs. Great all around.

me and the girlies about to kill a guy

This is a fun one. Rather repetitive but it’s fun, and has great vocals and harmonies from our three singers. It’s a good album, very cool.

Drottningar, algjörar drottningar. Harmoníurnar eru ethereal.

The emotional depth and timeless themes, coupled with the album's high production quality, make it a standout project that showcases the power of collaborative artistry in country music.

I enjoyed this. I love “Coat of many colore” from way back, so it was nice to revisit Dolly Parton again. The best parts are when the three of them are singing three melodies at the same time. So pretty much the whole album.

Super weird coincidence but Dolly popped into my head last night when thinking about potential topics for the PowerPoint party and how she would definitely fit my definition of what is considered cool.

Before this album, the only Dolly Parton song I’ve ever listened to was 9 to 5. I do listen to some contemporary Americana, while those artist create some high quality music most of it’s not even half as good as this album.

These are three incredibly talented ladies. I have great respect for each one of them individually. All together, they are a powerhouse of a country group. None of them let their own style, though proven successful, dominate too heavily on this record, ultimately, creating a new sound that’s a beautiful mix of the three of them. This is a really fun album and I enjoyed all of it. Only wish there were some tracks that became mainstream. 4/5

Really wonderful. A little tiring at times, constant harmony is difficult for the length of a record. Still, so beautiful. Not many stand-out songs, in my opinion.

Great album. Great artist. Wish they would have done more together.

You can never go wrong with some great 3 part harmonies and pedal steel. I would have liked some more upbeat tunes, but still a beautiful record overall.

I love these women. 4

Not really my style of music, but I imagine that it would be a dream come true if it were. Certainly some megatalented singers!

I liked this better than the other Dolly Parton album I listened to for this project (“Coat of Many Colors”). Very charming and easy to listen to. One those albums which, despite never having listened to it before, feels nostalgic. 3.5 rounded up

Good country album. Beautiful voices on these three. Never heard a song by Dollie Parton before. I now see why she still tours at 80 years old. First half of the album was great, the middle was a bit boring, and the ending was lovely. Standouts: To Know Him Is to Love Him, Hobo’s Meditation, Wildflowers, Rosewood Casket, and Farther Along.

Somehow I realised I have an affinity for these three country giants. It’s a pleasant record - unpretentious and pleasant.

This is a slow, sad album that's really about heartbreak, dealing with it and moving on. I really enjoyed the different voices and perspectives. All the lyrics felt very ownable to the women singing each song. I particularly enjoyed 'Wildflowers' sung by Dolly Parton.

I really didn't expect much from this album at all. A supergroup of 80s country singers is really not something that I'd ever seek out on my own. With only a few exceptions, it's just not a style I've ever enjoyed. But wow, these three really created something special here. The harmonies between the three women are perfection. The brokenhearted and down to earth lyrics are a welcome change from male-dominated (and sometimes toxic) genre. If I was ever going to warm up to country music more generally, this would be a great starting point.

Dolly Partons got some music I like a lot so I thought I was gonna love this but I didn't 🤷‍♀️, still good just not super amazing 7/10

Pretty chill and enjoyable, dont usually like country but I started to enjoy the end

All legendary voices in harmony. Interesting that they wanted to collaborate earlier on but were contracted to different labels. Glad they stayed the course and fought through it and made this album. What American country music should be. Relaxing listen.

Damn I forgot how much I love these voices. I own solo material from all three of ‘em, so it’s only natural that when three of the most amazing singers combine it produces this angelic perfection. Three uniquely different sounding voices that somehow become one. Not a style or choice that is a routine go-to for me, but when I do go there with this collaboration all I know is I don’t wanna leave. This is real raw talent. This is the real country music.

Dolly Parton is a goddam national treasure! I never understood how she could play guitar with those long nails. This is not really my style and a lil sleepy at time, BUT I can appreciate this album is pretty great. The vocal harmonies are amazing and there’s so much emotion in the songs they transport you to a place (where you ask? I don’t know man…some country bumpkin town in Oklahoma). This also makes me hate modern pop country even more.

This is good. Unfortunately I wasn't able to give it the attention it deserves, but still enjoyed it. And you must be tripping if you think I'm giving Mesdames Parton, Ronstadt, and Harris anything less than 4*. 3.75/5

Favorite was "Wildflowers"

Though I sometimes think this list is too heavy on certain genres, I do appreciate that it does include pretty much all popular types of music. I am from the Nashville, Tennessee area. I have been here my entire life. In spite of that, I was not a huge country music fan. I have had times in my life when country music was more my thing than other times. It has never been my primary, listening pleasure. That being said, I understand how iconic all three of these wonderful women are. The album is beautiful. I’m not gonna get hyped up. Wanna drive my car 100 miles an hour. I’m not gonna request any of these songs be played it an event. still, the harmonies in the melodies of their voices really settle in with me. There is a certain comfortable feeling in this album. It’s strange, I’m not planning on listening to it in the immediate future, but I still have a sensation of “missing it” like an old friend.

Three queens of country.

dustiny’s child. stopsingingaboutshittymenstopsingingaboutshittymenstopsingingaboutshittymensingaboutanythingelsepleasegod LOVE YA DOLLY 🥰

Three wonderful artists in their own right. Very enjoyable album

4/6/24

Goosebumps on every song. Something about white hillbilly heartbreakers really just get me. “Those Memories” especially had that mountain holler kinda ghastly cadence thing. And that flat single note “spare” on “Hobo’s Meditation”? Get out. Powerful shit, man. “At least I could run, they just died in the sun.” 😂😂

first listen great trad country album, feels like a bygone era now

I think it hits on the "everyone harmonize" note a bit much, but I do like it when the ladies get individual songs. Lets them breathe a little. The production can be hit or miss, and it occasionally dips a little too far into Carpenter-style easy listening, but overall it's really hard to deny the star power on display. Favorite tracks: "Making Plans", "Hobo Meditation", "Wildflowers"

Lively, very good quality harmonies and melodies. But not for me.

it's Dolly

Big fan. I like Dolly but she can be a lot across the course of an album. The other two talents added a lot and helped me understand why people like the genre. I can't give this five stars because it's not to my personal tastes, but I recognize that this album is unique and noteworthy. I'll probably listen to this again.

Three wonderful singers, whose voices work really well together. From an old school Nashville that I don't generally like, but with a clear influence from the highwaymen and the travelling Tilbury. Very dated, and not the finest work from any of the three, but with a charm and grace, and such flawless vocal performances, that it couldn't get less than 4 from me!

Good album - Production, vocals, writing, and music are all solid. This is good country music, a perfect example of what the genre CAN be. 4/5

3.5/5⭐️ Best song: Telling Me Lies Worst song: Farther Along Comments: Not a big country fan but I absolutely love Linda Ronstadt’s voice and used to listen to Blue Bayou all the time. You also really can’t go wrong with a bit of Dolly

4.3 - This was great. I think I expected more though, but still fantastic.

I knew both Dolly Parton and Linda Ronstadt before listening to this album, but had never heard of Emmylou Harris, but it seems she's just as good a singer as those two. Together all 3 come together to create a wonderful trio that delivers a real earnestness in their songs; absolutely loved it!

This is a triple threat country album featuring American singers Dolly Parton, Linda Ronstadt, and Emmylou Harris. While the songs simping for a man grew tiresome, this album has strong musicality and powerful harmonies. This album is gives newfound appreciation for the genre.

Favourite tracks: the pain of loving you; farther along; wildflowers; I've had enough; those memories of you

cool listening to older dolly songs, plus the other women in the trio!

It has been a very long time since I listened to this album straight through; while their take on "To Know Him Is to Love Him" was the tune I recalled most readily, "Telling Me Lies", "Wildflowers", "I've Had Enough" and the trad closer "Farther Along" hit home the strongest. Should revisit more often.

9/10 solid country album on knock is kinda no standout bangers

Very good

Dolly is great!

this one was pretty cool actually. Dolly Parton is the best

nice

Countrylegenden im Dreierpack. Das Album erschien sogar in der DDR. Jede Veröffentlichung internationaler Künstler wurde gekauft, wenn man die Gelegenheit dazu hatte und auch oft gehört. 4/5

Extremely good work

This is my supergroup 🔥

De va swag

Trio I’ve never heard of this despite liking all 3 of them. Such lovely vocals and harmonies. Each voice is distinctive yet the three combine beautifully. I think I could listen to those three voices in harmony indefinitely. Great playing and arrangements. As it was made in 1987 I was half expecting it to sound very 80s with big echoey snares etc. There are some slight elements of that with the piano on Telling Me Lies and I’ve Had Enough (the two weakest songs), but overall I love the sound. It has nice, straightforward and simple country instrumentation with a lovely warm and sympathetic sound. Simple is not a criticism, but the shuffling drums with acoustic instruments augmented by fiddle, dulcimer, mandolin etc is just great - it’s easy to ‘over musician’ this sort of thing but the restrained number of instruments works really well. This has been a very pleasant surprise. Not sure if this is overlooked just because I’d never heard of it, but it feels like an overlooked gem. Definitely going into rotation. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

A lot of fun to listen to

I don't say this to undermine the contributions of Linda Ronstadt and Emmylou Harris, because of course theirs are just as important—but gawd, it's always such a joy to hear Dolly Parton.

It’s a really, really nice 3 that I’m going to be biased and call a 4, just for how often I felt touched by this album. It really does just come down to how well their vocals blend together, and my bias towards this sort of general sound. I might have this sort of bias for a lot of the country albums that come up, but I’ll live with that. If nothing else, this album is great for easy listening, and to hear three great female vocalists. For my tastes, it just hit right, and sometimes, that’s all you can ask music to do.

Very pleasant. Needed to hear this for my soul.

I wish country stayed more like this. There is such a authenticity and realness to their pain and it's crystal clear in the music. The old southern twang is so charming and their voices are angelic. Not a country lover by any stretch of the imagination, but I get the impression that a lot of folk music I like today gets its roots from this. Glad to hear an album without anyone telling me how much they love crushing monsters in their big ass truck before they mud wrestle their friends to prove how HETERO they are.

Dolly Parton is a national treasure! And Linda Ronstadt has played multiple genres of music from country to pop rock, as she has done them all well. Emmylou Harris is a country star in Her own right. Singing in this album is absolutely beautiful, and this is good, honest country personally, I’m not a huge fan of country music; however, I do realize that this album is a really good one.

Lovely

Absolutely impeccable harmonies from three queens of country (or who are country-adjacent). A lovely listen.

Great record by three very talented musicians. They don’t make country music like that any more

beautiful harmonies on some beautiful tunes. fav tracks: hobos meditation, my dear companion, those memories of you

Sounds like a rough spell.

favorites: the pain of loving you, to know him is to love him, wildflowers

Awesome album

Nice easy listening music.

look, i mean you have three of the best country singers of the 20th century singing together. it cannot get better than this. this album has the best harmonies you have ever heard. sometimes the material they cover is a little less than desired, but the pure beauty of these three voices together is enough to carry any song.

I did not realize Dolly was chill like this. I was unfamiliar with her game.

I'd never heard of this album until looking over the full 1001 albums list, and I've been anxiously waiting to have it assigned to me, because it sounded like an awesome concept. I was really hoping that this would be a five star album for me, but unfortunately, it fell a little short. Right off the bat, "The Pain of Loving You" was fantastic, with its banjo riff and amazing harmonies. Musically, that was easily the best track on the album. The vocals were outstanding throughout the album, and the lyrics were great too. I loved that each of the featured artists got the chance to sing lead vocals, and all three of them sounded fantastic together. As great as the vocals and lyrics were, for me, the album just never came close to reaching that high that kicked it off. This was really good album, and I'm glad I got to listen to it, but it just fell short of being great for me.

Great!

It was very pretty.

3.5/5. Pretty easy listening, I did not mind this.

These girls got it

3.5/5 KKona girls got pipes Fav: Those Memories of You

Lovely! These girls have great voices.

Three iconic women, all of them national treasures in their own right, singing some simple but beautiful songs. The harmonies are wonderful. 4 stars.

Wonderful album with three fantastic voices. Great songs but nothing Earth shattering or breaking new ground.

A little too country for my taste, but still an amazing album.

Gezellige countrysmartlappen met drie bevallige dames (Dolly Parton, Linda Ronstadt, Emmylou Harris), voor elke muziek is er wel een moment. Een druilerige woensdagmiddag bijvoorbeeld, dan trek ik dit prima.

I really needed this. Beautiful harmonies and perfect songwriting. A gorgeous morning listen while I buzzed about the house. New to me but will stay in rotation.

3 of the great ladies of country

A nice album of trio ladies who definitely know their harmonies. What you miss are some highlights but I guess that's sweet country folk for you.

This is a treat! We've been warming up for this one. Plenty of Dolly Parton, and some good Emmylou Harris picks (no Linda yet). I had no idea this existed! This so obviously needed to exist in the world because the three of them fit so well together and they sing so well together. This is my kind of old guard country. Big fan! 4/5

It was great country ballads. It reminded me of the righteous gemstones. I just like their use of lyrics and have that vagabond lifestyle I yearn for.

Really impressive levels of talent. The songs themselves didn't do too much for me but I enjoyed taking it all in.

This is enjoyable and all, but yet it somehow feels like it should be better. 3.5 getting a 4 because I do love me some Dolly and Emmylou. Linda is fine too (in more ways than one. Prime years Linda...oh my)

YES. BEAUTIFUL. Everything works so well!! best tracks: to know him is to love him, farther along, I've had enough

How did I miss this one all these years? The three featured artists have some of the best voices in music and the song selection for this record is wonderful. So glad I got to hear this one and know about it!

Jeg Digger de amerikanske countryalbumene på listen

Just what I needed after Linkin Park and Black Sabbath

They are all powerhouses in their own right, but I believe I prefer them separately. Still a good album, just not entirely my cup of tea.

There are some truly excellent songs on this album; and paired with the beautiful voices of the trio, it makes for a very good country album. A pleasure to listen to. Best tracks: Making Plans, To Know Him Is To Love Him, Hobo’s Meditation, Telling Me Lies

Hyvää akustista folkkia. Pianoballadit ei oikein sopinut mukaan mutta kesäistä juhannus settiä muuten

Marvellous

Before there was boygenius there was trio! What a supergroup. I can't quite put my finger on why I feel its more a 4 than a 5 for me, maybe some songs blended together too much in my head? It might come down to this kind of country needs a bit more zip for me to be really engaged as a listener. So solid though.

This was fun. I imagine this collab turned heads when it came out. Wildflowers was my favorite.

Great Americana. Voices blend beautifully and song selection is very good. Three individual icons who know how to work well together!

A wonderfully executed collaboration between three icons. Their voices work well together and the arrangements are great (especially for a country album from the late 80s). The lead guitar on “To Know Him Is To Love Him” is gorgeously tasteful.

A warm mug of your favorite hot beverage. Very very cozy.

3 legendary singers - beautiful harmonies, a soulful collaboration. I am not overwhelmed by this album but I am certainly charmed by it.

Thoroughly enjoyed this burst of proper music after the other nightmarish stuff I’ve had to listen to lately.

beautiful tracks the whole way through, love this collab.

Good mom music.

Before there was Boygenius, there was Trio. Three great singer-songwriter women (though more country than folk) came together for a back-to-basics album. Trio consists of a few old songs and a few new ones. The end product are simple-yet-beautiful country songs that hearken back to the traditional styling of the genre. The exception to this is Telling Me Lies, which is more of a Nashville Sound 80's ballad that was originally recorded by Linda Thompson. This is perhaps the weakest point on the album, as the women showcase their voices best on the more traditional songs, especially when they harmonize together. A strong showing from all women here. Not nearly as bad as I anticipated from an 80's country album.

Three top class singers, a great record full of country with amazing harmony singing

Country supergroup unite!

Rating: 7/10 Best songs: Wildflowers, Telling me lies, I’ve had enough

One of the best country records to come out in the 80s. 8/10

It's not greater than the sum of its parts, but it's some pretty good parts. Not quite as dreary as I remember, but Those Memories of You is still by far the highlight.

Love dolly she should be the president

I love all three of these singers individually and the harmonies are beautiful, but still this album feels like it's missing something. Still a great listen. 3.5/5

Il fait beau et les oiseaux chantent

Not sure when I’d listen to this again as the music isn’t really my vibe, but overall, I did actually enjoy this album

La somme des talents n'est peut être pas à la hauteur des talents individuels. Album très agréable a l'écoute avec de belles harmonies. C'est de la country chimiquement pure. Manque peut être de hits incontournables

I didn’t realize these three ever recorded together. Though this album doesn’t really break any new ground, this is a very accessible country album grounded by tradition but infused with some pop sensibility. The vocals are outstanding of course. It’s interesting that this was recorded right at the advent of the the pop country mainstream explosion that peaked in the 90s.

While not a country fan, these ladies' voices and wonderful harmonies transcend the genre. I'd listen to them sing the phonebook!

Holy Harmonies Batman! This is far from a genre I typically enjoy but the musicality of this album cannot be denied. Masters of their craft and there's nothing else to do but sit back and enjoy.

A soothing, calm album. Their voices are beautiful together. Country isn't my genre but this was a good listen.

Ya I’m into it

I liked this one more than I thought I would. I’m big country fan but I generally haven’t gotten in to any of these ladies. Great vocals, classic country/Appalachia sound. Solid record.

Stunning album. These are three of the strongest & most memorable vocalists in country, folk, and rock. All three are legendary in their own right. Separately, these ladies sing some of my favorite songs: Dolly - Jolene, Emmylou Harris - Wayfaring Stranger, Linda Rondstandt - Blue Bayou & her mariachi songs (an ode to her Mexican-American roots). Together, they sing in perfect harmony & cover some classics. I'm also sucker for sappy country, banjo, fiddle & guitar...partly thanks to hearing country growing up & living in Nashville for 8 years (Emmylou lived in my neighborhood). I'm so happy this is one the list & I hope we get to hear their solo albums. What a lovely listen.

Extremely biased 4 for my queen dolly

El artista no es Dolly Parton. Es el trío formado por Dolly Parton, Linda Ronstadt, and Emmylou Harris.

Beautiful

An inspired collaboration featuring three icons, ‘Trio’ is expertly sung, played, and arranged but it’s essentially full of slower songs and ballads. And while these are all great, I would’ve liked some up-tempo numbers thrown into the mix for some variation, and to wake me up a little.

Three incredible artists gather to share their talents, and their voices blend here perfectly.

You put three legends in a room together and they just happen to make an excellent album.

7/10 fantastic vocal harmonies and performances all around. idk why but I’m not usually a big fan of super groups , and some of these tracks I just didn’t care for

7/10. Lotta big names, didn't really come together as an album all that well for me though.

I like me a bit of bluegrass and love these harmonies.

This album made a 50 minute drive in the snow go from unbearable to just excruciating which is honestly a pretty big feat. I couldn’t imagine a comparable album today where the three biggest artists of a genre got together to make a banger filled album. Closest thing after this was probably traveling wilburys

Loved this. Timeless country blues.

An enjoyable listen.

Very pleasant, 3 great singers and some good songs

not completely a 4 but enjoyed more than 3

DolLiLou och Ry Cooder och David Lindley och Albert Lee och det horribla countryåret 1987. Tusan.

Great album. The harmonies from the three women are beautiful.

What lovely country music, the rhythm of this album brings me happiness.

You know, from the chipper happy picture of the three of them on the cover, you'd never know how sad and lonesome they all are. And of course they are definitely lonesome, not lonely. Country folks don't get lonely, they only get lonesome. This is one thing about classic country I've learned. The other thing I've learned is that country folks are all about projecting a glamorous and happy getup, but there is pain in them there hills, big heavy pain. These three ladies are at the ends of their careers, but the music sounds classic as ever. Beautiful, sad, lonesome music! I swear these ladies could kick the Dixie Chicks' asses. I'm sorry ya'll had to get old, but I understand. More than ever.

I was completely unprepared to see this album here and suprised that there were such crazy country unions. The atmospere that album creates is for the calme morning with cup of coffee and someone you love. Despite all the ablazing and heartbreaking voices(especially Dolly Parton's one) i liked only a few songs that really stucked in my mind and made me reflect for a while. The overall sound is not for the permanent listening(pretty boring). But I couldn't give it 3 or even less just because music is very mild and cosy. So 4

Their voices blend beautifully and the tunes aren’t half bad. A lovely little jaunt this was.

It's a shame we only got one of these. Best track: The Pain of Loving You

Probably the greatest country collaboration that will ever happen.

Great harmonies

okay so, I honestly REALLY love Dolly Parton she’s a gem and a half, just an incredible person in general, I really do love her but her music just isn’t really for me I love the more western side of music like Patsy Cline and Willie Nelson but I’m having a harder time with country stuff I can still appreciate the effort that went into it, and hey, some of it actually sounded pretty great in my ears, this album sounds like an 8/10 but Dolly Parton herself is far greater than such ratings :)

Nothing to complain about here, 3 peak performers in their genre and they sing very well together. I don’t want these kinds of songs all day everyday but this was a well composed selection.

Such a great collaboration

4.2 - Really, what’s not to like? Three songstresses still at their vocal primes come together to sing plaintive country gospel songs of love and loss. Yes, it’s earnest, sometimes excessively so as on “I’ve Had Enough”, but the power of the arrangements and performances backs up all that emotion to make this record authentic and compelling.

Turns out I like dolly and country. Prefer the jingle jangles to the ballads but I got played a lot extra so not sure what's on album

enjoyed

This is the country that I like

The harmonies are so good that the music is just noodling in the background. It's just not very interesting.

Album 324. Trio — Dolly Parton, Linda Ronstadt, Emmylou Harris (1987) I'm definitely not in the right condition for Dolly Parton. Moreover, it's some sort of Avengers, I'm not prepared for that especially. You need to listen to the lyrics, but I was already broken after the first song. Good album, in some other mood I'd enjoy it more 3/5 Liked: — The Pain of Loving You

Incredible voices (RIP Dolly), boring as hell music.

Nice harmonies. Quite soft country though so not really my usual thing.

Better than expected. Good harmonies, decent bluegrass sound.

Mõned head lood, aga pigem möödub taustamuusikana see album. Vana kantri kõla on muidugi päris eriline ja südamlik, nii et täitsa meeldiv kuulamine ja vinüüli peal laseks seda kodus küll. 3.4/5

Love me some three-way harmonies. I don't know ow if it's on the list but an arguably more fun version of this is The Roches self-titled album. This was fun, too. Obligatory: did you know Dolly Parton was actually talented? (Also did you know ow Leonardo Dicaprio had a hard time filming "The Revenant?" Did you know Fleetwood Mac were having relationship troubles when making "Rumors?" Did you know Darth Vader never actually said "Luke, I am your father?" I know i know I know i know I know iknowiknowiknowleavemealone). I like the song about boxcars in heaven. I like it when country music gets so specific it ventures into the weird, but weird in that earnest country way. By the time "I've Had Enough" rolled around, though, I'd had enough (har har, am I the tenth person to make this joke? Do I get the prize???)

country lentorro. 7/10.

Very pretty songs, the harmonies are super solid and the strongest parts of the songs which have a very clear consistent country style that doesn't do it much for me personally. There is some solid guitar parts at various points and like her other album I can tell there is real heart poured each song that helps. Similar to Willie Nelson in that I think she's doing what she wants and she's doing it very well and I will appreciate it from an intellectual distance.

RIP. Но не мое

f pero no es mi tipo

Rest in peace to Tennessee’s greatest daughter

I just want to note that this album was recommended the day after Dolly fucking died :/ Nice album ig, I don't really listen to country

3.4/5 - This got recommended to me a day after she died, and only realised after coming back during the weekend to do the review here. While the recent events at the time definitely make it heart-wrenching to listen to this album, my honest rating still doesn't push beyond a three and a half out of five at best. I wouldn't mind if someone else was playing it in the background, as it is quite pleasant in that regard, but not for long periods of time. I definitely wouldn't listen to country music like this in my own time for leisure. Respect to the artist, but not my cup of tea.

Lovely voices

Why would you do this to me on today of all days? 😭😭😭😭😭 I was not emotionally prepared. 3 beautiful voices blending beautifully together.

This album happened to pop up the day Dolly left this earth. She’s gone physically but will live forever. I don’t listen to country that much but I enjoyed this.

nette melodien und interessante texte, aber auch seeeehr ruhig

Dolly Parton ist vor wenigen Stunden verstorben, ruhe sie in Frieden. Das Album ist gut, auch hier wieder high sicherlich krasser. Gibt drei Sterne, weniger fühle sich aus gegeben Anlass auch off an.

RIP Dolly. Not big on super groups and while this was real nice, I did want it to end. 3 Boolean: True

Vaca catch up

This album popped up for me the day Dolly died, which I assume means that the person in charge of this website put his thumb on the scale, but I'm very okay with that. Anything of Dolly's is likely to be worthwhile, and this is no exception, although it displays only the barest shred of her vast genius. These are very fine vocal renditions of some okay songs. Wildflowers is probably my favorite track.

Offered on the day after Dolly passing. Nice touch, generator. RIP Dolly Parton 3/5

All 3 of these women have super nice voices that work very well together Very consistent throughout 3 or 3.5/5 Favorites: making plans, the pain of loving you, my dear companion

I can see why they were iconic. Fav track Elderflowers. R.i.p

Very solid classic country. Rip dolly :’(

Sadly, it’s a pity 3. I love Dolly, and we have just lost her. However, these songs feel very dated, slow, and depressing.

Oddly this was the album I got the morning after Dolly died Some woman, albeit not my cup of tea

Was it a complete coincidence that this album was suggested by the Generator within 24 hrs of Dolly's passing? I think not. A complete vocal masterpiece by these 3 amazing women. My only critique is that Linda should have been featured more.

Rip Dolly

Ok

The timing of this recommendation is great and sad consider the passing of Dolly Parton yesterday. Despite this not being in my main musical tastes, these ladies have wonderful voices.

A lovely album showcasing three of the very best country music superstars. Effortlessly relaxing, mostly sad and mostly great.

Did everyone get Dolly on the day after she died (26.8.26), or is this just one big cosmic coincidence... man? Anyway, I doubt I'll be blown away, let's see. I stand corrected, this is a lovely album. I'll revisit it.

It's very pleasant, if a bit stuck in traditionalkst country routes. Sounds lovely either way.

Never listened. Expectations: Mid - Verdict: Good - The opener is a nice track but I find Making Plans slightly dull. Hobo's Meditation is more interesting as the vocals soar before the wonderful harmonies kick in. I quite like WIldflowers as well, the cadence of the chorus is somehow satisfying. I think the second half of the album sort of meanders along without ever really gripping me. The exception is the closer which is beautiful. This is a nice album but I wouldn't reach for it too often.

Number: 235 Familiarity: Aware (2) Rating: 3 Before: ======= I’m not a huge country fan, but I've always admired Dolly Parton. And I was really surprised earlier in this challenge when I found out that Coat of Many Colors turned out to be really good. I gave that one a 4, which is probably as high as I’ll ever rate a traditional or modern country album. I am a big fan of some contemporary alt-country acts though, go figure. But getting Trio the day after Ms. Parton’s death feels a bit surreal. I am really looking forward to listening to it as kind of a tribute to Dolly. I suspect I'll be a little more generous with my rating than usual. After : ======= OK, so every body got Dolly today, who had not already had one of her albums. That's cool. So overall, I'd rate this album a 3. And I have a bit to say about that wildflower song, maybe I'll get to that later but the basic premise of the song is incorrect. Anyways, I'm on to Coat of Many Colors as a proper tribute.

Favorite songs: The Pain of Loving You, Making Plans, Wildflowers, My Dear Companion, Those Memories of You

Great album! Love the three voice conjuction especially Dolly’s! We lost a truly great figure in the music world! RIP Dolly Parton.

Wanted to love it found it a bit boring

Vale Dolly Parton, we knew you well. This is sweet, but ultimately not really in my wheelhouse. Lovely interplay between 3 very good voices, the music is relatively pedestrian (like a lot of country, at least to me).

Wow, this album has a very sad vibe overall and sounds super religious, only with themes of relationship troubles. Very gospel sounding but the “lord” is a guy named George or Bill and is not treating these ladies right. The vocals performances are very powerful and great. But the album art looks like an 80s sitcom ad. The carpet is not matching the drapes. Decent audio though. 3.5/5.0

Умерла баба с когтями игравшая кантри и тут же альбом подсунули, ну и ладно

I don’t care for country music. But darn if I didn’t listen to this twice, all the way through, when it was served up to me today. Not because I finally heard country music I enjoyed (I didn’t) but because Dolly died yesterday and I truly believe this earth is a worse place without her. Thanks Dolly.

First Listen; 3.5; Seems like a great example of classic country sound. Very smooth and sweet sounding vocals and harmonies. Favorite Track: Hobo's Meditation

Tough to do this the day after Dolly - an international treasure - passed away. That said, this was pretty boring.

Varmaan ihan ok levy, jos genrestä tykkää. Parasta oli taitavat laulut, mutta biiseistä ei jäänyt oikein mikään mieleen.

Dolly Parton passed away yesterday, may she rest in peace. I am not familiar with other two people on this collaboration, however ot was quite enjoyable listen, Dolly sounds great as always. Some really nice moments and couple of really good tracks, however most of it felt fairly bland so probably strong 3 stars, at least 3.5 RYM

*Listened the day after Dolly Parton’a death was announced* Beautiful, with some particularly haunting tracks.

The production is great, the musicians are laying down some classic country & western with the fiddle, mandolin and banjos, and damn these ladies can sing. Beautiful harmonies, just feeding off of each other. I hear a lot of heartbreak and gospel. There are about 5 really great beautiful tunes that I had not heard before, they carry this one quite a bit for me. I am not a fan of the more gospel type songs but the album is short so they aren't a big detractor. RIP Dolly

It's nice, good harmonies, lovely voices. It's nice. Got it the day Dolly died: "When I'm dead and in my casket When I gently fall asleep Fall asleep to wake in heaven Dearest sister, do not weep"

Boygenius wants to be them so bad don't they. 3 country divas come together to make a collaboration album and it is quite the dreamy and soft country experience I am sure all of your grandparents could have ever wanted. This album is very touching, just like a cold breeze brushing your face. I can completely understand if someone were to say this was way too soft or not as engaging as they'd like it to be, but I personally don't see it. This isn't supposed to be loud and in your face country music it is supposed to be very soft and comforting, like something you'd want to hear on a long road trip through the countryside. I was definitely not the target audience for this album but I did still enjoy stepping in the shoes of my grandmother and listening to some of these country divas.

The singing is amazing and the songs are good. It sounds like they had fun making it. But they lean REALLY heavily into country-pop ballads. I really like when they pick it up and go all bluegrass or western swing and GET GOING, which I think they just don't do enough of. This was an interesting listen that I'll likely never circle back to.

Når det nu skal være country, er det her et rart islæt. Det har en folksy vibe, og deres stemmer harmonerer godt.

3/5

Good but not exceptional

6/10 - although not my cup of tea, I do appreciate the talent

404/1001 Dolly Parton/Linda Ronstadt/Emmylou Harris Heard before? ❎ Revisit? ❓ The harmonies between the three women work so well together. Yes, it's not my thing, but I had a decent time with this. RIP Dolly

This appeared on the list on the day that Dolly Parton passed away. The voices and harmonies are lovely, but not for me, it's just a little too country. Rest In Peace Dolly.

A pretty legendary collab lineup and it doesn’t disappoint. I’ve personally been more interested in albums by each of these artists solo though, and I think it’s ridiculous Linda Ronstadt does not have a solo album on this list. She’s got so many more cards up her sleeve.

No standouts

This was set for me the day after Dolly Parton died. Separating the person from the music, this is a little bit too rhinestone and jesus for me but I appreciate their skills.

I’m deeply emotional while listening to this album, I think we all know why. I don’t really know how to approach this album. I really adore Dolly, but I have no idea who Linda Ronstadt and Emmylou Harris are - guess that’s my deeply european perspective. What this album showed me more than anything is that the magic in Dolly’s music always was Dolly’s voice. Yes, she was an amazing songwriter, but her voice is just pure gold. Overall this album is not really for me, but i appreciate it for tracks like Wildflowers and Making Plans. Rest In Peace, Dolly.

This is a hard one to rate this week. So much talent on this album! However, it's just not a genre I'm a big fan of. The closing song was poignant though with Dolly's passing so fresh in my mind.

classic country, plodding with lots of harmonies

Wow, surreal timing. This album coming the day after Dolly Parton passed. She was an actual treasure of a human being. This album was pretty good too.

I just dont like this style of country that much

3/5

Very pleasant to the ear and great voices. Grim songs though, would’ve expected at least a few uplifting country bangers. Happy to have discovered Linda and Emmylou - especially Linda reminds me of some ABBA voices I really like.

3.6

Interesting timing. Dolly Parton died yesterday, is this a coincidence or was this intentional? Pretty standard country that comes from a time when country was OK (but probably racist). 3 stars.

To get this on the day after Dolly Parton died is a little weird. 3/5.

Rest in power Dolly you absolute legend. This album was fine.

Yah this album is pretty much untouchable from an objective standpoint. It has the three biggest female country singers OF ALL TIME. All playing together, and their harmonies are what I’d assume heaven sounds like. And what’s truly amazing and interesting is that they clearly get along well and are easy to work with cause they ALL get a moment to shine on almost every song, and then they also each get a song to be the focal point, and again their harmonies are crazy impressive. I always liked Emmylou Harris and I’ve always been infatuated with Dolly but this really made me appreciate Linda Ronstadt. They each get a moment to really show what they got and they each bring their A game. The only real disconnect I had with the album is just that it’s a classic country album in the sense that it’s a lot of treble and a lot depressing songs. The album was alittle too depressing for me to truly fall in love with it. But I have massive MASSIVE respect for this album. Like on paper this is easily one of the greatest country albums of all time. It’s so grand and epic in scale for a country album. I really wish this album was alittle more lighthearted and silly. Like if there was just one or two goofy songs with a great sense of humor this would probably be a solid 4, but that’s just me trying to project what I want onto this album. Seriously I don’t say this lightly, if you like country this is a MUST listen, ignore my own personal tastes and give it a shot. It’s country gold.

A lot of really pretty harmonies and songs. Nothing mind-blowing, but a great way to spend 40 minutes.

This is quite nice but not remarkable. I'm only familiar with Dolly, unfortunately it's not as good as Coat of Many Colours but there are enough highlights to make it worthwhile A nice listen. RIP Dolly 3.5 Highlights: Those Memories of You, Telling Me Lies

RIP

Fitting as Dolly passed away yesterday. Three great voices that shine on their own make for a very nice as a trio. Let me start by saying I don't enjoy country music much, and today's country is just garbage, but this is old skool. The opening track, "The Pain Of Loving You" was a master lesson in harmony. "To Know Him Is To Love Him" was absolutely gorgeous. Ronstadt shines on "Hobo's Meditation" but man the lyrics are silly! The 9th song, "I've Had Enough" was a bit much for this rock/alt guy and spelled the end to my interest as it went a slow after that point in the album. I actually really enjoyed what they were serving up. It was a good vibe even though it's not my thing. Production, longevity (all 3 superstars, and this album got a Remastering in 2016), harmonizing, for making real country music, and for solid listener counts for a 40+ yr old album. 3.5 stars from me

Oh no, I really wanted to like this because Dolly, but it’s the kind of country that I tire of quickly. Rounding up to 3 because Dolly.

Got this the day after Dolly died. Hey music was never my thing but she seemed like a pretty good person. This is not for me but these are good singers, so 3 for Trio.

Pretty cozy. Rest in peace Dolly Parton.

Great voices

Rip dolly, weird timing

This was 3 beautiful talented voices singing classic country. Hard to say it’s not a great album. But it’s certainly not something is listen to again. Gotta go 3 for Dolly.

Good

I generally enjoy country but this was just boring.

Oh man, I wish I liked this better. Their voices are phenomenal, great harmonies, but it’s kind of jumbled and a mishmash of different kinds of songs.

Interesante pero no me mató. Tampoco lo escuché en profundidad. 3/5

Perfectly fine 80’s pop-country album. R.I.P to a true legend.

Gee, this turned up the day after Dolly's death. Spooky, or opportunism. A trio of icons, and you'll never guess what sort of music these Stars Of Country Music play. You got it. Country and Western. To be honest, the album is very professional, and does exactly what you would expect, but ... it doesn't add much to solo performances. Efficient, but not very inspiring.

2nd album of hers in a row, still not really my cup of tea but slighlty better than a costo of manu colors. Good, 7/10

RIP Dolly. Love the harmonies in this album by the Trio and great western storytelling.

整张专辑作为RDR2的cutscenes曲子都能无缝衔接

Idk i love dolly as a person but I only liked the 1st and the 2nd tracks yk like others didn't hit me much yk. No complaints but it's a nice album but overall a meh. I don't think it's like wowww yk. It's good. That's about it. Maybe I'll grow into it by hearing it again but ig I'm expanding my music palette. Will have to listen again

3,5 stars

All the songs are beautifully done, slow, love or breakup songs. You really have to be in a mood when you push play.

R.i.p

RIP legend

Pleasant listen. RIP dolly

Never heard before. Not really familiar with a lot of Dolly Parton's music, bar the obvious 2-3 that are inescapable! I am partial to a bit of country rock and I do own an album by Emylou Harris so this wasn't entirely out of my comfort zone. I enjoyed it. It was a very easy listen..the voices were superb! Definitely something I will give another listen to at some point! Favourite tracks. Hobo's Meditation and Telling me Lies

Wow what timing, RIP Dolly Parton...

rym 3.33 Country/Neo-Traditionalist Country 温温柔柔的女声合唱，没有太多的想法，也不会产生太多的想法，是一张能完全放松享受的专辑。 pick: To Know Him Is to Love Him, Telling Me Lies

Very fitting I got this album a day after she died. Rest In Peace Dolly

They are all great singers, and a few songs are solid. Mostly generic stuff though. Feels like it "wouldn't it be cool if we made an album together" was the extent of the thought but in for the most part.

RIP Dolly. Wonderful human. Mediocre album.

RIP Dolly

Pas mal

I like Dolly but this is really not my type of music.

Great harmonies, Parton’s voice is one of a kind

Beautiful harmonies.

"Making Plans" was good. Nothing great here for me. I think I rather listen to eaches solo, more pop focused records. I suppose if you are a fan of each artist, then getting them on one album would be exciting. 3 out of 5

this is nice but mostly not anything id listen to on my own time

rest in peace to dolly parton, but i wasn't super crazy about this one; i enjoyed the other album she has here much more. she feels like she's lost the magic she had in her prime era here, though she's still good enough to make good but not exceptional country music. 3/5

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.

Rip dolly.
