My favorite singer live from her own theme park
These recordings were made in 1994, and remind us of Dolly's musical as well as her geographical roots. Dolly established her theme park in the region of East Tennessee where she was born and raised, and sometimes performs there herself.

Dolly performs several of her own oldies. It would have been interesting to hear some of her pop-country hits like Here you come again given a traditional country treatment, but Dolly avoided those. However, it is nice to hear new versions of My blue tears, Applejack, Coat of many colors and My Tennessee mountain home. Longer than always is a song Dolly first recorded as a duet with Porter Wagoner, but titled Is forever longer than always. Smoky mountain memories was originally recorded for Burlap and satin, but titled Appalachian memories.

Most interesting of all is the inclusion of To daddy. Dolly originally recorded this in 1976 for the All I can do album, then let her friend Emmylou hear it. Emmylou immediately recorded it herself and Dolly dropped it from the album, replacing it with another song. The original version eventually appeared on a compilation, The essential Dolly Parton.

Traditional songs are also included, among them Mary of the wild moor, In the pines, Barbara Allen and Wayfaring stranger, as well as a couple of country golden oldies - I'm thinking tonight of my blue eyes and Night train to Memphis.


Best of Dolly
Beautifully realistically raw. Being raised as a Dolly Parton fan for over twenty four years I find no problem swearing up and down that this is the best record she has ever produced. This record takes captive the very heart which is Dolly Parton. Her reindition of Barbara Allen and In the Pines is absolutely wonderful. This is a must have CD. And all honestly it has remained through out the years as my favorite CD in my over 300 CD collection of country music. This is a must have CD. Get it today.


Heartsongs- Live From Dollywood
It had songs that I had grew up listenning to, and some songs that I have not heard. This CD was very good. If you are a Dolly Parton fan, You really should check this CD out. I feel confident that you will enjoy it as much as I have.


A Live Concert Gem!
I am not usually motivated to buy "live" concert recordings, but this one is great. I was at the concert while this was being recorded and remember it well! I highly recommend this to all Dolly fans, for it is pure entertainment! You will not be displeased.
