Worth the wait,

This review is from: Rhinestone (Audio CD)
I've been trying to find this CD for about a decade, searching for it after it went out of print. I'm writing to address two things:1) Another reviewer panned this CD because, he says, Sylvester Stallone is the obvious flaw because he can't sing. The reviewer even suggests other singers to take Stallone's place! Well, this is a MOVIE SOUNDTRACK and we expect the leading man to be singing his songs in the CD. Duh! That's what the whole movie was about, turning a bad singer into a Rhinestone Cowboy. (Loved the movie.) 2) The other issue is finding the CD. I bought mine (11/2009) for the price of a regular CD at any music store. The CDs here are collectibles. Do a little online search and you might get lucky at any place where users OFFER their things for sale or swap. Good luck! If you like the movie, if you like Dolly Parton, or even if you just like pretty songs, it's well worth the effort.

Rhinestone Soundtrack & movie,
This review is from: Rhinestone (Audio CD)
As a huge Dolly and Stallone fan, I must say this is a great soundtrack and the movie was also great. I have both which I watch & listen to over and over. Dolly is a TRUE country artist. I didn't think Stallone did such a bad job. I enjoyed the movie as well as the soundtrack. If you are a Dolly or Stallone fan, you will like the soundtrack & movie. See Stallone as you never have before. A complete turn around from Rambo.

"Dolly's Rarest Music",
By Terry Richard "Terry Richard" (Fredericton, New Brunswick, Canada) - See all my reviews (TOP 500 REVIEWER)
This review is from: Rhinestone (Audio CD)
Dolly Parton and Sylvester Stallone's film "Rhinestone" was a commercial flop when released at the boxoffice during the summer of 1984. The plot consisted of Dolly playing a singer who was bound to perform at a New York nightclub by an unscrupulous agent, and agreed to let her out of this contract on the agreement that she could make a cab driver (played by Stallone) into a great singer. The movie just didn't work, and what makes most motion pictures fail is a poor script, and this was certainly the reason no one saw "Rhinestone". Unfortunately, since no one saw the movie, no one bought the soundtract album, an album that consisted of material written entirely by Dolly. Dolly herself has stated that this album consisted of some of the best songs she has ever written, composed at a time when she was coming off a breakdown in her life. The songs were written during the summer of 1983 and she says, "they just fell into my lap". Two singles became hits, including "Tennessee Homesick Blues" and "God Won't Get You". Others unknown gems here are "Butterflies", "Sweet Lovin' Friends", and "What A Heartache", a personal favorite of Dolly's and a song she has since recorded twice. The CD edition of this album has become Dolly's rarest and most sought-after compact disc of Miss Parton's career with copies selling for several hundreds of dollars. The album was also produced by Mike Post. In all 14 tracks are included.
