This is a great collection of some of Dolly's best songs. All of the songs are awesome. This explores however, Dolly's more pop minded side. If you want to hear her more country I suggest you get "The Essential Dolly Parton, 1 and 2" and the new Super hits that was released this year. Great album!

Yet another Parton compilation that ignores her most vital early songs, while concentrating on the pop/Hollywood sellout era and the same handful of songs.

"Jolene," which is contained here, is a great song, but the rest of this is mostly the slick pop commercial Dolly that has been over anthologized. Meanwhile many of her best songs like "Down From Dover," "Gypsy, Joe and Me," "Just The Way I Am," "In The Good Old Days (When Times Were Bad)," "My Blue Ridge Mountain Boy," etc. remain unavailable and out of print.

This compilation is just another example of RCA/BMG's incompetence in dealing with Parton's back catalog.

I just went out and bought this today and it's GREAT!!!!!!!! One thing though where's Kenny on Real Love????? It's GREAT!!!!!!
