Description

This was the first Dolly album that I bought when I started collecting records in 1977 and it certainly wasn't what I expected - but it was brilliant then, and still is. I remember thinking that it was as good as most singer's greatest hits, yet most of the songs for which Dolly was famous weren't even here. I immediately bought what I could of her other music, and she has been my favorite singer ever since.The album begins with Here you come again, now regarded as something of a classic and rightly so - it was written by Barry Mann and Cynthia Weill, who also wrote You've lost that loving feelingmore… (a song Dolly later recorded with Neil Diamond).Baby come out tonight is a lovely song, but I've never seen it on any compilation, nor have I ever come across any covers, so you need this album to get this song.It's all wrong but it's all right and Me and little Andy have become Dolly classics and both have been frequently re-issued.Lovin' you is a brilliant cover of a sixties song by the Lovin' Spoonful.Cowgirl and the dandy is a cover of Bobby Goldsboro's Cowboy and the lady with the words adapted - and it's wonderful. Brenda Lee also did a great cover of this song.Two doors down is yet another Dolly classic. It was a country top ten hit for Zella Lehr (who never repeated that success) but a pop hit for Dolly, after she re-recorded the song. It is the re-recorded version which appears here - the only available source (so far) for the original is the triple CD Legendary (an Australian import).God's coloring book is a gospel-flavored song which has been covered by bluegrass group The country gentlemen.As soon as I touched him is a power song which, like Baby won't you come out tonight, is also only available here.Sweet music man is a song written by Kenny Rogers, and which has been covered by several of the finest ladies in the history of country music. Dolly's version is brilliant and I also love Reba's more recent version, but my favorite version is by Tammy Wynette, who put in one of her best ever performances on this song. I think she probably related to the song because of her marriage to George Jones. Kenny may not have had George in mind when he wrote the song, but it could so easily have been about him.If this album is out of print, it will surely not stay that way - it was a landmark in Dolly's career, and her best pop album. It is far superior to the follup-up Heartbreaker, which had some brilliant songs, but also some rubbish. There's no rubbish here - it's all wonderful. Buy it - if you can find it.
