Product Description: Parton's first mainstream album in 17 years appeals to all her fans without sounding insincere or compromising. The title track, a fiddle-and-piano colored two-beat that's a sympathetic bit of autobiography, belies her campy doll-like cover pose. The debut single "Better Get to Livin'" is a page from her own upbeat canon, and when she's downhearted in the steel-guitar weeper "The Lonesomes" and the cocktail lounge arrangement "Made of Stone," she draws on the influence of earlier country queens like Kitty Wells and Patsy Cline. Parton's vocal tones remain equally pure, distinctive, and captivating over grinding six-string power chords as she blasts out Fine Young Cannibal's "Drives Me Crazy." She's especially affecting on a faithful rendition of Smokey Robinson's "The Tracks of My Tears." The bottom line is that Parton's one of America's greatest enduring vocal stylists, whether she's revisiting her roots in bluegrass or making commercial hay. --Ted Drozdowski

5 stars Sounds good to me
I have a few of Dolly Parton's Cds from Greatest Hits to soundtracks of
9-5 and Straight Talk and of course the Christmas Cds. No matter what she sings her voice sounds flawless. This Cd only proves age has no boundaries in singing.. A great cd with a cool mix from a legendary songbird has a little of everything and then some


5 stars Dolly at her best!
This album is truly one of the best albums that Dolly has ever done! Songs range from classic country of Backwoods Barbie, reminiscent of the Coat of Many Colors era, to the poppy remake of Drives Me Crazy. No matter what your favoite type of Dolly music is (she is her own genre!), you will find songs that you will love and cherish! Dolly wrote most of hte songs on the album and she is at her best songwriting and singing as well! It's a must have!


5 stars She just gets better with age.
I have been listening to this lady for over 40 years. She just gets better & better. This is a great one. She is unique & one of a kind. America needs Jesus & gravity. You can always count on Dolly she has never let me down in the entertainment department. You go girl!


4 stars DOLLY
After seeing her in person, I had to have this CD. Some songs are better than others and being that they are all new, you really can't sing along with them yet. However, you have to own this CD if you see the concert so you can enjoy the music all over again.


5 stars dolly
I have been a Dolly Parton fan since she left Porter. I love allmost all her songs and also the ones she sings that she didn't write. I am a fan and will love her till the end of time.
