Product Description
Two original LPs from the Queen of Country Music on CD for the very first time. Before Dolly the Pop Icon. Before Dolly the Cultural Phenomenon. There was Dolly the most sublime songwriter and performer of her generation. The evidence is right here. The Fairest Of Them All is the greatest Dolly Parton album you've never heard, recorded over 1968 and 1969 and never reissued in any form, it is a superb recording from start to finish. From the harrowing psychiatric depths of Daddy Come And Get Me and the empowering heights of Just The Way I Am to the most moving narrative in the Parton canon, Down From Dover. Robert tells of forbidden love, Chas of passion that can never be, Dolly is at her creative peak, always breaking new ground. Also included is the 1972 LP My Favorite Songwriter, Porter Wagoner a fine tribute to her mentor and companion through these years. Remastered from the original RCA Victor master tapes, both albums appear for the very first time on CD and are presented in a Deluxe Collector's edition with exclusive liner notes, unpublished photos and two very rare extra tracks. 20 page full color booklet, memorabilia. 23 track CD! All original recordings!

This review is from: The Fairest Of Them All - My Favorite Songwriter, Porter Wagoner (Audio CD) Two of Dolly Parton's most revered albums finally comes to CD in this beautiful collection. Anyone who has followed Dolly's career knows that RCA Records hasn't done a good job in rereleasing her late 1960's/early 1970's discography on CD (only a handful of Dolly albums from that era are available on compact disc), so it's always a treat when old Parton albums find a home on CD. This set is what is known as a "two on one CD" or a "twofer" in which two albums are remastered from their original master tapes and put together in one package. This gem has all the original tracks in the same order in which they were released on the original LP, along with rare unpublished photographs, new extensive and informative liner notes, and each album has a bonus track that was cut from the album's original release. First up is "The Fairest of Them All", released in February, 1970, which went all the way to #13 on the country album chart. A superb collection, Dolly's...Read more 9 of 9 people found the following review helpful: EVERYBODY SHOULD OWN THIS DOLLY PARTON CD! AWESOME!!, By Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?) This review is from: The Fairest Of Them All - My Favorite Songwriter, Porter Wagoner (Audio CD) I just recieved this CD this morning and I LOVE IT!!! It is nice to hear a Dolly cd with different songs on it then the same ones over and over. I just dont understand how SONY dont release alot of DOLLY's older material. Its a shame how it takes a foriegn record company to release her older material! Thank God for OMNI RECORD COMPANY!!! Hey OMNI if you read this please release more old Dolly matarial on cd!!!! This CD is a must for any Dolly fan or even for a county music fan!! 7 of 7 people found the following review helpful: FINALLY getting Dolly's classic albums!!, By This review is from: The Fairest Of Them All - My Favorite Songwriter, Porter Wagoner (Audio CD) I don't know why many of Dolly Parton's classic 70's albums have not found their way onto CD, but slowly they are finally coming out. The two collected here, "The Fairest Of Them All" and "My Favorite Songwriter, Porter Wagoner" are two of her best. The first album of the two, "Fairest" could also be called "The Worst Cover Of Them All", great material but hideous cover photo. But album cover aside, the material is top notch. The best track on the album is "Down From Dover", the song was never a single, but became a fan favorite. The rest of the songs are classic Dolly story telling. The second album, "Favorite Songwriter", contains all Porter Wagoner originals. One has to wonder if Porter really was her favorite songwriter or if it was just a contractual thing. As with the other album on the disc, the songs from this album are all strong with the best being "Lonely Coming Down" and "When I Sing For Him". Whether or not Wagoner was her favorite songwriter, she puts her all...Read more |
