I confess I am 22 and a massive fan of Dolly Parton, I was brought up with her music along with Elvis and Patsy Cline…I was sitting here last night and felt a bit down and when I feel like rubbish I end up putting on this CD and just singing along to it, it is an all time favourite, even though she has had plenty of other CD outs after this one, this is an all time favourite CD of mine. When I talk to people about Dolly Parton it seems her songs Jolene and 9-5 always comes to peoples minds, but to me its all about the song "Harper Valley PTA"
The CD "Jolene - Her Greatest Hits" which was released in 1992, contains 14 tracks but that's enough to make me feel better and have me singing in my mirror with a hairbrush…yeah when I was 13, cant do all that now as I'd wake me little one up! God help her she will be raised with this music too… I give Dolly 10/10 for her music, she is amazing and all her songs are sang so heartfelt and as if she is singing it for you with some!
I practically nicked this CD of my mum, as I love it, I play it in my car on long journeys and I am one of those girls that you drive past and the mouth is going where I singing at high volume. The songs on the CD are very catchy and I had to be nosey on play.com and see how much it was going for, I was expected a £4.99 job but no it was there £2.99 what a bargain if you're a Dolly Fan and haven't got this CD. It has the classic D.I.V.O.R.C.E which I'm sure many of us know and have sang along the way…
Why buy a Dolly Parton CD I hear you ask?? Well you cant go wrong, I think no matter what your age is, you know at least one of her songs and they are catchy and a good sing along. Unfortunately the CD does not have the song 9-5 which many people know and to be honest I don't even know half the words to the song compared to all the tracks on this CD.
Tracks on CD
1. Jolene 2. I Will Always Love You 3. I Really Got The Feeling 4. Lonely Comin' Down 5. It's My Time 6. Harper Valley PTA 7. Here You Come Again 8. The Seeker 9. We Used To 10. Mama Say A Prayer 11. Lovin' You 12. Sweet Music Man 13. D.I.V.O.R.C.E. 14. Baby I'm Burning
You always hear about her new albums out the greatest hits etc…but this one has to be one to have for me, for all Dolly Fans compared to all her other album this is an amazing album with the oldies on it - the only songs missing which I would love on this CD is Joshua and Coat of Many Colours.
Dolly Parton is not only a singer but she has also acted in movies, The Best Little Whore House in Texas which was released in 1982, She was also in 9-5 the film. She has also been in TV programmes, I was flicking through the kids channel and there she was on Hannah Montana playing Hannah's God mum, Also she was the voice in Alvin and the Chipmunks as herself. Oh and she appeared in Miss Congeniality 2. She is one of the most successful country artist, She has had 26 number one singles and wow 42 albums in the top ten!! This woman has many talents, she has 7 Grammy awards and has been nominated for 42 Grammy awards. Is there nothing this lady cant do?? I also have the album that she was honoured with back in 2003 I think it was, where there are different artists that sang her songs "Just Because I'm A Women" it is called. There is just so much about this amazing lady that I would be here all day to write all her achievements. What can I say I'm a big fan!!

Advantages: Amazing original songwriting and very unusual version of Dolly Parton's Jolene Disadvantages: If you want a fast-paced, lively album, this is not it
