4.0 out of 5 stars Slow Dancing With Dolly, July 18, 2002

By	J. M. Zuurbier (Canada) - See all my reviews (TOP 1000 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)

Dolly's 1993 album SLOW DANCING WITH THE MOON is another album that was sorely underlooked. While it might not be as strong as WHITE LIMOZEEN, it's a beautiful album filled with great songs and top notch talent. "Romeo" is a fun take on the traditional Shakespeare play Romeo & Juliet, it joins Dolly with Billy Ray Cyrus, Mary Chapin Carpetner, Kathy Mattea, Pam Tillis and Tanya Tucker. Sadly this was the only "hit" from the album, however failed to crack the top 10, resting at #27. "Full Circle" is a nice ballad, about a long standing relationship. "(You Got Me Over) A Heartache Tonight" is a duet with Dolly & Billy Dean, a really sweet song, a favorite of mine from the album. "More Where That Came From" is a honky tonk, nice to hear Dolly tear it up on a song like this. Dolly does a rousing rendition of the upbeat "Put A Little Love In Your Heart" as well. "I'll Make Your Bed" is a nice quirky song as well. "What Will Baby Be", "Cross My Heart" and "Why Can't We" are all tender, romantic ballads. "Whenever Forever Comes" joins Dolly with Collin Raye on a duet, nice song overall, they compliment each other extremely well. The best track though is the title track, a beautiful ballad, classic Dolly Parton. The album closes with a great rendition of "High And Mighty". Overall SLOW DANCING WITH THE MOON is a beautiful album all the way through, don't overlook it, give it a listen.

4.0 out of 5 stars This is a soft, romantic album that will get you moving, August 23, 1998

By A Customer

What can you say about Dolly Parton. She is full of many colors, like her favorite creature, the butterfly. Like this album. Full Circle. Not a great Dolly song, but I'm sure a lot of people can relate to this one. Where are we in this relationship? Romeo? It is a woman's song showing freedom, sexuality and equality.Have you everbeen out in a club and overheard someone say,"I wish I had a swing like that in my backyard." Here it is in it's original form. I thank Dolly for "You Got Me Over a Heartache Tonight." I've been there many times. In the bed of a stranger trying to get over my heartache. Very romantic. Very beautiful. You've thought these words before. "More Where That Came From" is possibly Dolly's best up beat country songs. A very Lousiana feel. "What Will Baby Be?" Play this song for somebody who just slapped their child for hitting their sibling. "Why Can't We" A plea for universal acceptance. This is what the bible tells us to do, but nobody does. "I'll Make Your Bed" is a fluffy, three sister style song from the 1940s, so you'd think. Very cute. I woke up one morning to "Whenever Forever Comes" I was in heaven and was at my most peaceful moment ever. I've listened to it before, but this time, I got it. "Slow Dancing with the Moon" A beautiful, whispery song of lost beauty, loneliness and fantasy. A perfect blend of music and vocals. At times, they are the same."High and Mighty" I don't belive in God or religions, but this makes me feel as if I could. Dolly always makes you feel that there is a God because she belives so strongly. If you've ever seen a movie with a scene in a small southern, baptist church where everyone gets up singing and dancing, you will be in that movie with this song. When it's over, you'll turn around and wonder where everybody went. Although there are a couple of weak spots, the other parts definitely make up for it, but be ready for an emotional rollercoaster. You'll be laughing, loving, crying and thinking.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Album, January 21, 2001

By	"gemini_j" (Canada) - See all my reviews

This is one of Dolly's less successful albums from the 90's, only spawning one real hit, the duet Romeo which includes a array of country singers as guest stars. The album is stunning though, with some of her best music. The album has a lot of guest artists, who have nothing but good things to say about Dolly in the liner notes of the album booklet. These guests include Billy Dean, Trisha Yearwood, Mary Chapin Carpenter, Tanya Tucker, Pam Tillis, Billy Ray Cyrus, Collin Raye, Kathy Mattea and much more! However the guest artists do not take away from the music, as there is plenty of Dolly here! The album lasts for 12 tracks, which are some of her best songs. Favorites include You Got Me Over (A Heartache Tonight) (with Billy Dean), Full Circle, Slow Dancing With THe Moon, and the remake of Put A Little Love In Your Heart. All of the songs are classic though. I highly reccomend it!
