Solid, classic. Would not mind listening to this again.

She never dissapoints. Altough I find country music to be full of clichés (and this album is no different), I liked this album

Oh boy I was ready to dismiss this out of hand but it's actually quite good. Dolly has such a good voice it's hard to believe it's not digitally enhanced. The instrumentalisation is spot on- very well produced but then I don't know why I'm suprised as this would no doubt been heavily backed by a major label. I prefer the Bluegrass to the C&W tunes she's normally associated with.

Definitely not my style. But I am pretty sure it is a decent example of what it is supposed to be. I am interested in why this particular Dolly Parton record was chosen out of the very large number she created over the years.

Bluegrass. Ni fu ni fa.

Me gusta Dolly Parton, pero este disco ... sin más.

Dolly Parton is a national treasure, and I'll fight anyone who disagrees. Not only is she a great person, but she's also a great talent. While not exactly my favorite kind of music, this is some great bluegrass. 4 stars.

This sounds like famed country singer Dolly Parton

Constantly scheming increasingly elaborate ways to make Dolly my friend.

Not worth adding

can't let the homies catch me with this one

I offer shy away from C&W but I love a bit of Dolly.

Absolutely wonderful! Dolly plus bluegrass is gold! I happily listened to this twice today.

I’m glad someone suggested another Dolly Parton album. She’s a national treasure with such a long career it’s good to hear some of her “newer” stuff. Just wonderful!

Sorry but one Dolly Parton was enough for me.

It's not my typical jam, but I love me some Americana and I love Dolly's personality so much. I'll admit my toe tapped a few times. 3.5/5 rounding up to 4/5 because she's an amazing person.

Rating: 6/10 Best songs: Travellin’ prayer

Bluesgrass-heavy country, straight down the middle - even the format, just under 45 minutes, only a couple songs over 4 minutes... And of course it's all consummately professional - top level craft across the board. It is Parton herself that elevates it above being just a very sickly produced modern country album with a bit of extra roots spin on it: there is just something fundamentally real and sincere about her performances. I'm not a huge country music person but I'd listen to more of this any day.
