Dolly Parton – Dolly (4-CD)
Product Details
Crossing label boundaries to tell one complete story was long overdue for someone whose catalog spans decades, genres, and cultural touchstones. Parton wrote "I Will Always Love You" as a farewell to her mentor Porter Wagoner, a song so purely hers that its journey from a 1974 country number one to a global pop phenomenon says everything about her gift for writing from the marrow. Seven previously unreleased tracks make this essential even for longtime devotees who thought they had it all.
First-ever multi-label, career-spanning box set for Dolly! 4 cds, over 100 songs includes her biggest hits, rarities, and duets from Monument, RCA Victor, and Columbia + seven previously unreleased songs. Introduction written by singer-songwriter Laura Cantrell, and new liner notes written by noted Dolly Parton historian Holly George-Warren features never-before-seen photos and rare memorabilia! Dolly Parton has few peers, and no one in music will deny her powers as a singer, a storyteller and a pop star. From her first national hit in 1967, the ironically titled 'Dumb Blonde' (nobody with a lick of sense ever accused dolly of that!) and the legendary '70s duets with Porter Wagoner, from her first number one single ('Joshua') in 1970 to her 26th number one in 1991 ('Rockin' Years,' a duet with Ricky Shelton) and all train stops in between, dolly has it all. 'To Know Him Is To Love Him' from the fertile three-way collaboration with Linda Ronstadt and Emmylou Harris, the amazing crossover pop smashes, including the heartfelt duet with Kenny Rogers 'Islands In The Stream,' as well as revered juke box staples '9 to 5' and 'Here You Come Again,' this 101 track/4 CD treasure trove covers all the bases. You may never have to leave home again, but if you do, be sure to take Dolly along for the ride.
