Product Description

BLUE VALLEY SONGBIRD
As a teenager, Leanna Taylor (Dolly Parton) fled her abusive home to sing on the road. And for ten years, she's been one gig away from making it big. Her controlling boyfriend and manager, Hank (John Terry, TV's Lost), is full of empty promises of success. Her new guitarist, Bobby, sees more in her than Hank ever did, or will. A new romance, a fading one, and a career on the cusp of collapsing—or exploding—has Leanna at the crossroads of a lifetime.

Based on Dolly Parton's hit song and filmed on location in the country music capital of the world, Blue Valley Songbird is inspiration for anyone who has ever chased a dream.

A SONG FROM THE HEART
Maryann Lowery (Six-time Grammy® Award Winner Amy Grant), a beautiful, blind cellist and music teacher at the Milford Conservatory of Music, enjoys her quiet, comfortable life with her friend and widowed neighbor, Oliver (Academy Award® Winner Keith Carradine). When world-famous musician Gregory Pavan (D.W. Moffett, TV's Friday Night Lights) visits the Conservatory to record an upcoming album, he sees undiscovered talent in Maryann, promises her fame, and convinces her to undergo a risky eye operation. As the two fall for each other, it will take a life-changing moment for Maryann to realize that sometimes, true love is right before our eyes, waiting to be discovered.

Wonderful Movie, Loved It

I guess I missed this movie back when it came out but I loved it tonight. I love Dolly and Billy Dean was always easy on the eyes haha. I loved the storyline, and was glad to see her have her dreams become a reality after ditching the extra load that drug her down for years. It also brought back a few good memories of growing up in the Nashville area.

Good story of a musician's life

Dolly Parton is somehow irresistible when you're in the right mood for one of her films. She's got the cheery voice but it somehow always seems genuine. Thanks to her, this movie was engaging. Guess that's part of the way I can tell it's a good movie, for me, there's no feeling to fast forward through parts of it and I forget to get up and get snacks. I love music; many genres of music and her voice is rare and pure, if you ask me. The film had a deeper healing in it along the baseline of the story and seemed quite realistic in many ways.

How can anyone not love Dolly?

' Was in the mood for sweet entertainment. You could definitely do worse for an hour and a half of your time.

Never an active seeker of country music per se, although there is much to be said about the talent thriving in this genre, Dolly keeps us smiling with her universal talent.

Unique, gentle natural vibrato to her voice. And others may disagree, but I find her acting refreshing for its pure honesty.

So happy to have watched this. It was like a glass of mint ice tea on a hot day - very refreshing and much appreciated.

Touching, simple, real-life like story, wonderful movie, with gorgeous music with Dolly sounding like an angel. Like every other Dolly fan I would love for someone somehow to publish
a copy of "We Might be Inlove" as it has never been released outside of the actual movie, and there is no soundtrack...
As for the "Editorial Review" The movie was WRITTEN based on Dolly's song "Blue Valley Songbird" off her "Hungry Again" Album, and the whole bit is to explain Leanna's origins, and how she came to be where she's at.... and to explain what's REALLY been holding here back through the years, so if you get beyond your opinion that Dolly can't act you'll see there's another depth to this story.... Highly recommended to anyone who loves Dolly, music and or Romance!!!

I love anything Dolly is in. I didn't know about this movie until recently and I'm so glad I found it. I thought Dolly did a great job. The story was touching and of course the music was great!

Oppression to freed

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on August 10, 2016

Verified Purchase

I really liked the performances of the actors who show what it is like to hold someone back with a few words here and there, and how difficult it can be to leave the person holding someone back. I like that there was no violence in this movie other than the terrible choice of using someone while hurting their chances in life. Oppression is not easy to escape.
