I would like to start this review with afew facts about Dolly Parton for those who don't already know her and her work.

Born: Dolly Rebecca Parton.
Place: Sevierville, Tennessee.
Date: 19 th January, 1946

She was 4th of twelve children and began performing at the age of 9, when she was appearing on the Cas Walker Show on WBIR- TV in Noxville , Tennessee. She recorded her first Album on a small label, Goldband at the age of 13 and also appeared at the Grand Ole Oprey in Nashville.
She is an accomplished musician, playing Guitar, banjo, autoharp , piano and drums.
Also a Grammy winning, Academy Award winner, Country Singer, Songwriter, Composer, Author , actress.

Now to this album.

This is a very good album, with many of her best known songs, and also some not so well known.

Tracklist:
I will always love you ( which she wrote in 1974)also covered by Whitney Houston.
Islands in the stream ( duet with Kenny Rogers)
Jolene ( also written by Dolly)
Coat of many colours ( written by Dolly)
My Tenessee mountain home.
Here you come again ( written by her in 1977)
Baby i'm burning
Love is like a butterfly.
The bargain store.
Potential new boyfriend.
Everything is beautiful ( with willie Nelson)
Silver threads and golden needles ( with Tammy Wynette and Loretta Lynn.
To know him is to love him ( with Linda Ronstadt, Emmylou Harris)
Why'd you come in here looking like that.
Romeo ( with Billy Ray Cyrus, Tanya Tucker, Carpenter, Mary Chapin, Kathy Mattea, Pam Tillis).
Tennessee homesick blues.
Dumb Blonde ( written in 1965 and made 24 in charts)
Applejack
Old flames can't hold a candle to you.

This is a single disk album released 05/ 03/ 07.
It runs for 61.26 mins.

This is an excellent album and has many of her greatest songs, having said that it would be nice to have some new work released. She is a very accomplished songwriter and I am a little surprised that no new songs are available. If you like country music this is a must have. If you are a Dolly Parton fan it is essential for your collection.
She has a fantastic voice that is highly suited to country/ blues music.

In Conclusion:

Great songs but would love some new songs. Having said that she is as good as she has always been.
