Dollymania (Part the Infinity)
Not sure what I feel about this one (which I don't think I had ever heard previously), but let's just say that whatever "it" is, Dolly possessed it.
Dolly's voice is an acquired taste. But, that said- instantly recognizable; she is her own brand. And the songs; even the schmaltzy ones, have proven very malleable for other artists to interpret. Best tribute for me - in the Folk-Americana vein; "Just Because I'm a Woman" - Songs of Dolly Parton. Great mostly unknow singer-songwriters. And.... I think this song works..................
It's on, I'm just late. That's a very good cover. Any chance she did a duet with Ringo on "Octopus's Garden"? I'm pretty sure it would have worked! See what happens when this thing is on?
Testing, testing -- is this thing on? 😎
ReplyDeleteIt works for me.
ReplyDeleteI adore Dolly the person but I’ve never been more than a fan when it comes to her music.

This was on her album - Rockstar.
ReplyDeleteIn my life I have never seen so many musicians both famous and not so in my life.The list is staggering.

No but she did do a cover of Free Bird with Ronnie Van Zant, Artimus Pyle & Gary Rossington. Credit wise they were listed directly under Sir Paul 😉
