this 2-disc chatty concert recording attests. Though Parton had been on hiatus from touring for a decade, she reconnects here with an audience that extends from country traditionalists to drag queens (to whom she dedicates her classic "Jolene"). Banjo and fiddle drive the acoustic arrangements and bluegrass harmonies highlight the choruses as Parton surveys a career-spanning selection of material on this two-disc set, applying her signature vocal quaver to hits from "Coat of Many Colors" to "9 to 5" and "I Will Always Love You." The concert extends her musical terrain to Led Zeppelin's "Stairway to Heaven," Neil Young's "After the Gold Rush," and a breathy rendition of Bread's "If," while an a cappella medley renews the likes of "Islands in the Stream" and "Here You Come Again." Parton's in fine voice throughout and even better spirits, spending almost as much time bantering with the crowd as she does singing. Where many live recordings are little more than songs with applause, this is the full Dolly. --Don McLeese

DollyParton is one of the most successful country singers of all time.

THE 'IRON BUTTERFLY' SPREADS HER WINGS
"I'm proud of my humble beginnings, the fact that dreams can come true for just simple people, ordinary people. I hope that I'm an inspiration."
Dolly Rebecca Parton was born the fourth of twelve children in 1946 to a mother married at fifteen and a moon-shiner sharecropping father, who paid the doctor who attended Dolly's birth with a bag of cornmeal. She grew up in a run-down one room mountain cabin in Locust Ridge, Tennessee, soaking up the influences ...
Advantages: Varied introduction to Country's greatest lady Disadvantages: Like many Dolly anthologies it concentrates on her own writing and so makes unforgiveable omissions
The point is, actually, that she should be in your - and anybody else you may happen to care about's - CD collection.
This is an excellent introduction to Dolly. Any Greatest Hits album will give you 'Jolene', 'Coat of Many Colours' and 'I will always love you' but not a sense of Dolly through her many periods.
Like other great artistes, DollyParton has kept evolving, kept developing and exploring different dimensions of songwriting and performance. Hence it requires a special collection to give you a sense of the 'whole'.
'Today I started loving you again'', 'The Salt in my Tears'. 'Blue Valley Songbird' and 'I wanna go back there' showcase Dolly at her best - interpreting the work of other classic Country artists - here Merle Haggard - and writing her own material.
In the last few years, she has also collaborated ...
