has seen, and some of the most notable tracks from her illustrious career are collected here. Classics like 'Jolene', 'I Will Always Love You' (often falsely attributed to Whitney Houston) and '9 To 5' have all become engrained in public consciousness thanks to her recordings.

Additional notes
Album Notes: The incomparable Dolly Parton has proven quite versatile over a career that began in the 1960s. Her roots are certainly in traditional country music; however, it's always been her own brand of mountain music--often infused with folk, rock, pop, or whatever might catch her fancy--that makes her a star. While only a first volume, this 20-song compilation offers an impressively thorough overview of the iconic Tennessee singer's varied body of work. The set focuses on her hits, from pop crossovers such as "9 to 5" and "Here You Come Again" to country standards including "Jolene" and "Why'd You Come In Here Lookin' Like That."
