- Great deal for Dolly

Two of Dolly's long lost (and poppiest) albums finally make it onto CD. The 2 on 1 thing is a great deal as both albums ran under 35 minutes and I hope there are many more to follow. More importantly, the remastering is excellent and the sleeve notes include the front and back covers of both albums along with informative essays.

As I said, there are many Parton albums that have yet to see a CD release which is quite disgraceful and I really hope that along with the 3 UK 2 on 1's and the recent reissues in the States of 'Jolene' and 'Coat Of Many Colours' will come much more of Dolly's early 70's to mid-80's work.

Can I have a remaster of 'Here You Come Again', please. I missed the Buddha late 90's version!

- "A Wonderful Dolly POP Album!"

If your a fan of Dolly Parton's country catalogue of albums, you will be disappointed in this collection. "Dolly, Dolly, Dolly" is in essence a true pop record designed for the pop audience that Dolly aimed for in the late 1970's. Nevertheless, this album is a fantastic collection of pop songs, although there is one country ballad, the remake of "Old Flames Can't Hold a Candle To You", that went all the way to #1 on the charts. I remember when this album and song came out; country fans loved the single, but couldn't believe it was the only country track on the whole album. If you are a huge Dolly fan like I am, however, Miss Parton can record anything and I will love it.

Most critics trashed this album when it was first released in April, 1980. Many said it was over-produced and poorly put together as Dolly was filming her first movie "9 to 5". I personally love the record. Some of her ardent fans have said it was the worst album of her career, but my bets are on her 1987 "Rainbow" release that didn't have a hit single. "Dolly, Dolly, Dolly" also spawned another #1 country hit and top 40 song, with the Donna Summer written "Starting Over Again". Other greats here are her "You're The Only One I Ever Needed", that sounds a lot like her "Here You Come Again" number, "Even a Fool Would Let Go" proved Dolly's voice is the best, and I also love the ballad "I Knew You When".

Take this Dolly release for what it is; a pop record geared to a larger market than the country audience. Although not seen as a country disc, the record went into the top 10 of the country charts. This is also one of only a handleful of Dolly records, out of her 80 in-studio albums in her catalogue, where she didn't write any songs. Dolly didn't have the time as she was preparing for her first acting gig in a major motion picture.

This CD also is available with her 1979 blockbuster album, "Great Balls of Fire"...look for that too!

- Amidst all of the trendy-sounding stuff. . .

Exists one of Ms. Parton's best performances ever: "Starting Over Again," a track from the 1980 Dolly, Dolly, Dolly album, is cowritten by Donna Summer and hubby Bruce Sudano. It is supposedly an autobiographical tune about Mr. Sudano's parents divorce.

If anyone doubts Ms. Parton's skills as a singer and actress, listen to this performance and you will be left in tears. A number 1 country/36 pop song, it is one of the best tracks she ever made and one wonders if she ever performs it live in concert.

You can also find Summer singing the song on the "Tonight Show" on You Tube. She has never recorded it.

I strongly recommend fans finding and listening to this track and you will be blown away.
