Terry Richard "Terry Richard" (Fredericton, New Brunswick, Canada) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Dolly (Box Set) (Audio CD)
Well here it is, a spectacular boxset on Dolly Parton. A few medicore boxsets on Dolly have been released over the years, but they all pale in comparison to this beautiful gem. Featuring an informative sixty page booklet on Miss Parton with rare pictures never seen before, the crowning jewel are seven tracks never released from Dolly's various record labels. The newly released songs are "Gonna Hurry (As Slow As I Can) which is one of the first songs Dolly ever recorded back in the 1950's; "Nobody But You" recorded when Dolly was 16 years old on Mercury Records; "I've Known You All My Life" from Dolly's Monument period; "Everything's Beautiful (In It's Own Way) that was originally recorded for "The Fairest of Them All" album in 1969; "God's Coloring Book" recorded during the "Coat of Many Colors" 1971 sessions; and finally "Eugene Oregon" and "What Will Baby Be" from 1972's "My Tennessee Mountain Home" album recordings. Out of these seven wonderful tracks four are really standouts;...Read more

The best Dolly box out there, but still not definitive..., October 28, 2009
Allen Chapman (STAFFORD SPRINGS, CT USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Dolly (Box Set) (Audio CD)
For years Dolly fans have been waiting for a definitive boxed set from her. "Dolly" comes pretty close to being just that. With 99 tracks spread across four CD's there is an awful lot to like here. The set starts off with her very first recording "Puppy Love" and goes up thru 1992's "Romeo". Along the way are her solo hits as well as her duets with Porter Wagoner. The set follows her career from the small GoldBand record label thru her stay at Columbia, the main focus being of course her long tenure with RCA. The set begins with a string of early singles recorded for Monument Records when Dolly was being pushed towards a Brenda Lee/girl group sound. The songs are catchy, but nothing like what she would eventually find fame with. After that and her connection with Porter Wagoner do the really great songs start coming. All of the hits are her from "Jolene" and "Joshua" to "I Will Always Love You", "Here You Come Again" and of course "9 to 5". Not to mention some great album cuts like...Read more

The 4-CD box set Dolly Parton (and her fans) deserve, October 27, 2009
hyperbolium (Earth, USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Dolly (Box Set) (Audio CD)
Quick Take: 4-discs; nearly 5 hours of music; multi-label compilation spanning 1957-1993; superb, rarely heard early sides; deep helping of RCA catalog; select tracks from Columbia catalog; solos and duets; 8 previously unreleased tracks; 62 page booklet featuring a new 5,000-word biographical essay, vintage pictures and record cover reproductions. Missing are Parton's trio work with Emmylou Harris and Linda Ronstadt, and her terrific post-1993 back-to-basics work on MCA and Sugar Hill.
--------------------
Dolly Parton's outsized personality has occasionally obscured the fact that she's one of America's all-time greatest songwriters and an exceptional vocalist who effortlessly crossed from country to pop and back again. Her early years as Porter Wagoner's girl singer and duet partner, her television fame, her climb to solo country stardom, her painful split with Wagoner (brilliantly memorialized in her parting "I Will Always Love You," a three-time hit for...Read more
