Dolly Parton - Dolly Parton And Friends

starring: Dolly Parton

Release Date March 12, 2007
Yes, the cover picture is a recent picture of Dolly, also used on the CD re-issues of her old albums, but that is as sad as it gets...
These shows are from Dolly's TV series of 1976-77 and clearly states this on the cover if you read the back.

I rememeber watching these shows, enthralled as a kid, spellbound by Dolly's unique sound and look. When I heard these shows were coming out on this DVD set I was really pleased that they'd been saved as I'd not seen them in over two decades.

The costumes are right out of the 70s and Dolly's hair is higher than Amy Winehouse's but the performance and her charm have stood the test of time. Dolly performs many of her hits from that era and some songs that were done especially ... Read More:

Smart Blonde: The Life of Dolly Parton

by: Stephen Miller

Release Date July 02, 2008
Well i have been a dolly fan all my life so am probably biased. But if you dont like her now read this and you will have fallen in love. Growing up in a dirt poor family dolly had 2 fantastic loving parents and in the book you realise that her roots still mean alot to her. You can also read about all the charity work she does as therfe is a very loving caring heart behind the breasts and a very clever mind under the wig.

Backwoods Barbie

by: Dolly Parton

Release Date June 09, 2008
This CD is fantastic - a return to form for the First Lady of Country music. From the opening track, the lyrics and music flow easily, and are all likeable, 'catchy' and heartfelt.

Ofcourse they are stand out tracks - the first single, 'Better Get To Living' but also the wonderfully up-lifting 'Jesus & Gravity' and the great 'Shinola' (a track where Dolly gets mad and even!). Plus an amazingly original cover version of 'She Drives Me Crazy', where Dolly add's her own touch of 'crazy'!

Most of the tracks tell a story and so many, it seems, come - possibly - from Dolly's own life experience's, especially the title-track 'Backwoods Barbie'. And top marks have to be given for the art-work of the album - Dolly looks 'the ... Read More:

This is a great film funny and entertaining, lighthearted and romantic, not to be taken seriously. Good music, good story, a real feel good romantic comedy, Burt Reynolds and Dolly Parton are both great in the lead roles. Well worth watching.

The Very Best Of Dolly Parton

by: Dolly Parton

Release Date June 16, 2008
Has much has i Like Dolly Parton, I do wonder how many more times are her managers going to release her Greatest Hits & Best Of Albums.
I think she should come back and do something New!!

I brought Dolly Partons Greatest Hits back in 1999 The Album i have is a 2x Disc version With the same songs and same listings in the exact same track listing order has these 2 seperate Albums!! Why it has been Re-released has two seperate Volumes is beyond me, Especially when the version i have is still avalible to buy.

I have given this a 4 Star if it was a New greatest hits it would have got a 5 Star, However it isn't. And plus it's not Dolly's thought i blame the record company!!! :-)

Straight Talk [1992]

starring: Dolly Parton, James Woods, Griffin Dunne, Michael Madsen, Deirdre O'Connell
directed by: Barnet Kellman

Release Date March 01, 2004
Straight Talk is arguably Dolly Partons finest movie. Typical rags to riches type plot from small town somewhere nobody knows to the centre of Chicago in a click of a pink stiletto heel!

Dolly plays a fake radio Doctor and attracts the attention of a local reporter who falls for more than Dolly's visual advantages!

The will they wont they plot and accidental rise to fame will have you gripped - but more than that I can't reveal or I'll spoil the plot for you.

If you loved Bette Midler in Big Business, Julie Andrews in Princess Diaries, Julia Roberts in Pretty Woman or Sigourney Weaver in Heartbreakers, you'll love Straight Talk!

Dolly: My Life and Other Unfinished Business

by: Dolly Parton

Release Date 1994-10
Bought this 'used' as a gift for a fan of hers (hard to buy this close to Xmas 'new') so thought there would be no harm in having a little read of it myself. WOW! I'm not a fan of her music but I am either going to have to read very quickly or buy 'the fan' another present as I cannot put this book down.
Dolly tells the story so well you can easy visualize her tough but loving childhood and am desperate to read the rest of the book (am up to chapter 4 adn the book is great so far)
Highly reccommended if you like a really good story
