Biography

Biographyby David Vinopal

It's difficult to find a country performer who has moved from country roots to international fame more successfully than Dolly Parton. Her autobiographical single "Coat of Many Colors" shows the poverty of growing up one of 12 children on a run-down farm in Locust Ridge, TN. At 12 years old she was appearing on Knoxville television; at 13 she was ... Read more in Amazon's Dolly Parton Store

5.0 out of 5 stars "Attention All Dolly Parton Fans!" October 26, 2009
Format:Audio CD
Well here it is, a spectacular boxset on Dolly Parton. A few medicore boxsets on Dolly have been released over the years, but they all pale in comparison to this beautiful gem. Featuring an informative sixty page booklet on Miss Parton with rare pictures never seen before, the crowning jewel are seven tracks never released from Dolly's various record labels. The newly released songs are "Gonna Hurry (As Slow As I Can) which is one of the first songs Dolly ever recorded back in the 1950's; "Nobody But You" recorded when Dolly was 16 years old on Mercury Records; "I've Known You All My Life" from Dolly's Monument period; "Everything's Beautiful (In It's Own Way) that was originally recorded for "The Fairest of Them All" album in 1969; "God's Coloring Book" recorded during the "Coat of Many Colors" 1971 sessions; and finally "Eugene Oregon" and "What Will Baby Be" from 1972's "My Tennessee Mountain Home" album recordings. Out of these seven wonderful tracks four are really standouts; "Gonna Hurry" is true Dolly and she proves even at 10 years of age not only would she be a huge country music star, but a pop superstar. Her voice is pure, strong, original and unmistakingly Dolly. "Everything's Beautiful" is a song Dolly wrote before she came to Nashville and it is truely one of the most beautiful songs she has ever written. It was the song Dolly sang to Porter Wagoner the very day he called her to his office in 1967 to hire her as his "girl singer" on his TV and road show. "God's Coloring Book", that was later recorded for Dolly's 1977 "Here You Come Again" album, is far superior than the remake. You can hear a lot of the "Coat of Many Colors" sound and Dolly's vocal is impeccable and crystle pure.... Read more ›

For years Dolly fans have been waiting for a definitive boxed set from her. "Dolly" comes pretty close to being just that. With 99 tracks spread across four CD's there is an awful lot to like here. The set starts off with her very first recording "Puppy Love" and goes up thru 1992's "Romeo". Along the way are her solo hits as well as her duets with Porter Wagoner. The set follows her career from the small GoldBand record label thru her stay at Columbia, the main focus being of course her long tenure with RCA. The set begins with a string of early singles recorded for Monument Records when Dolly was being pushed towards a Brenda Lee/girl group sound. The songs are catchy, but nothing like what she would eventually find fame with. After that and her connection with Porter Wagoner do the really great songs start coming. All of the hits are her from "Jolene" and "Joshua" to "I Will Always Love You", "Here You Come Again" and of course "9 to 5". Not to mention some great album cuts like "The Bridge", "Down From Dover" and many more.
For as great as the set is, there are few complaints. First is the fact that it ends in 1992. Dolly has continued to release some incredible records since then (such as her fantastic bluegrass albums from the past decade). Another complaint is that the massively successfull "Trio" album with Emmylou Harris and Linda Ronstadt is not represented at all. Despite having tons of great tracks, it's a shame they couldn't find room for her 1983 song "Appalachian Memories" one of her masterpieces. Finally, disc four is the least interesting of the bunch, the songs on disc four have been reissued so many times over the past several years that the disc is pretty redundant.
Complaints aside this is the best collection of Dolly's work out there.

5.0 out of 5 stars The 4-CD box set Dolly Parton (and her fans) deserve October 27, 2009
Format:Audio CD
Quick Take: 4-discs; nearly 5 hours of music; multi-label compilation spanning 1957-1993; superb, rarely heard early sides; deep helping of RCA catalog; select tracks from Columbia catalog; solos and duets; 8 previously unreleased tracks; 62 page booklet featuring a new 5,000-word biographical essay, vintage pictures and record cover reproductions. Missing are Parton's trio work with Emmylou Harris and Linda Ronstadt, and her terrific post-1993 back-to-basics work on MCA and Sugar Hill.

--------------------

Dolly Parton's outsized personality has occasionally obscured the fact that she's one of America's all-time greatest songwriters and an exceptional vocalist who effortlessly crossed from country to pop and back again. Her early years as Porter Wagoner's girl singer and duet partner, her television fame, her climb to solo country stardom, her painful split with Wagoner (brilliantly memorialized in her parting "I Will Always Love You," a three-time hit for Parton and a worldwide chart-topper for Whitney Houston), her crossover to pop, Hollywood filmmaking and theme parks, and finally, her return to country and bluegrass roots have shown Parton to be an artist of unparalleled vision, depth and humanity.

Parton's commercial success has stretched over four decades, including an incredible string of hit singles (including 25 U.S. #1s) and albums (including 42 U.S. top-10s and 6 chart-toppers), and multiple live recordings, soundtracks and collaborations. She's won gold and platinum records, Grammys, AMAs, CMAs, ACMs, and has been nominated for Oscar, Tony and Golden Globe awards. She's a member of the Grand Ole Opry, the Nashville Songwriters Hall of Fame, and the recipient of numerous national awards and tributes.
