Editorial Reviews

First released in July 1970, and recorded earlier that year at Dolly's old high school in her hometown, Sevierville. Her performance was the highlight of the annual Dolly Day, a celebration held in Sevierville in honor of its most famous resident. It was arranged by Dolly's mentor and singing partner, Porter Wagoner, who also appears on several tracks.

Long out of print on vinyl, A REAL LIVE DOLLY is now released on CD for the first time. The original set included signature Dolly songs such as "My Blue Ridge Mountain Boy" and "Dumb Blonde," but this exclusive, limited-edition CD also contains 4 bonus tracks.

This review is from: A Real Live Dolly (Audio CD)

On April 25, 1970 Dolly Parton went back to her hometown of Sevierville, Tennessee to cut her first ever live album. Her duet partner and mentor Porter Wagoner arranged to have the concert recorded, and although the record only went as high as #32 on the Billboard Country Charts, it is widely regarded by ardent Dolly Parton fans as one of her finest and most hard to find albums. Cas Walker, with whom Dolly worked with early on in her career, introduces Dolly and the crowd goes wild. She covers songs she did as a teenager including "Tall Man" and George Jones' "You've Gotta Be My Baby". Miss Parton does a fantastic medley of her early hits such as "Dumb Blond", "Somethin' Fishy", and "Put It Off Until Tomorrow". Other great hits covered are "My Blue Ridge Mountain Boy" (that Dolly had a hit with the year before), "How Great Thou Art", and "You All Come" that she performs with the audience. Porter Wagoner also joins Dolly on four of their most famous duets, all Dolly- written, including "Tomorrow Is Forever", "Jeannie's Afraid of the Dark", "Run That By Me One More Time", and "Two Sides To Every Story". This particular CD is extremely hard to purchase as it was only available through Sony Legacy when they sold the Dolly Parton boxset called "Dolly" in October, 2009. The "A Real Live Dolly" CD is not available in any stores which makes it a collector's item up there with the CD releases of Dolly's "Here You Come Again", "Rhinestone", and "The Great Pretender" albums. This particular collection also features the four bonus live tracks of "Coat of Many Colors"(her first ever recorded version of that song), "Just Because I'm A Woman", and "He's A Go-Getter" and "Daddy Come and Get Me", the latter two of which were never released before anywhere. The price that sellers are asking for this CD is very expensive, but it is worth every dime as "A Real Live Dolly" is one of Dolly's most classic RCA albums.
