"The Best Blugrass Album Ever!"
Sugar Hill Records, an independent record company specializing in the blugrass sound, made arrangements with Dolly for her to record a bluegrass album in early 1999. After recording a series of country albums in the late '90's that didn't sell, Dolly Parton suddenly found herself for the first time in her life without a major record label. She would finance the CD, but Sugar Hill would take care of the marketing and selling of it. What resulted was an album that became Dolly's most critically acclaimed in her forty-plus year career.
"The Grass Is Blue" was released in October, 1999, the same month Dolly was inducted into the Country Music Hall of Fame. The album would go on to win the Grammy the following year as Best Bluegrass Album, and is regarded as helping blugrass receive renewed popularity in the early 2000's.
Dolly does a splendid cover of Billy Joel's "Travelin' Prayer" as well as Lester Flatts and Earl Scruggs' "I'm Gonna Sleep With One Eye Open". Miss Parton also brings back an old song from her 1972 album "Touch Your Woman" called "Will He Be Waiting For Me", that features some of the best Dolly vocals ever. The best song on the CD is the title track, which was recorded by Noah Jones in 2003 for the Dolly tribute album "Songs of Dolly Parton".
"The Grass is Blue" didn't receive any radio airplay, as many country disc jockeys simply stopped playing Dolly because they wanted to play only younger artists. The CD peaked at #24 country and #198 pop on the Billboard Charts.


I was never a fan until I got this album
I never considered myself a fan of Dolly Parton until I picked up this album. Wow. If you like bluegrass, do yourself a favor and buy this. You won't regret it.
