The legendary Dolly Parton has recorded some of the most famous country music the world has seen, and some of the most notable tracks from her illustrious career are collected here. Classics like 'Jolene', 'I Will Always Love You' (often falsely attributed to Whitney Houston) and '9 To 5' have all become engrained in public consciousness thanks to her recordings.

Dolly Parton 2008 UPDATE
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!!! :-)

The greatest hits
These are the greatest hits of Dolly, which together with those on The Very Best volume 2 represent her most commercially successful songs. It includes catchy pop like Love's Like A Butterfly and 9 to 5 from the movie of the same name, flowing ballads like the duet with Kenny Rogers, traditional country ballads like My Tennessee Mountain Home and Silver Threads And Golden Needles with Loretta Lynn and Tammy Wynette, exquisite vocal pop like To Know Him Is To love Him with Emmylou Harris and Linda Ronstadt, the moving autobiographical story song Coat of Many Colors and passionate country numbers like Jolene and Baby I'm Burning. This is an excellent introduction to the music of one of the most delightful of all female country singers but for longtime fans, the real gems are found on albums like Coat Of Many Colors, The Essential Porter Wagoner and Dolly Parton, Porter Wagoner and Dolly Parton - 20 greatest Hits, and on Little Sparrow and The Grass is Blue.

The Latest Dolly Parton Compilation
There have been literally 100s of Dolly compilation albums released, dating back from the early 70s!!!
She is of course a great singer, my all time favorite and although this disc offers fans nothing new it's still worth getting if your a causal fan, someone who wants to a own a solid overview of her hits or someone who's just discovered The Queen Of Country Music or if your like me, a die hard fan who needs to own EVERY Parton CD,LP,tape,video released!!
This CD includes all the hits you know and love, "Jolene", "9 to 5" and "I Will Always Love You" plus duets with Porter Wagoner, Tammy Wynette, Loretta Lynn and of course Kenny Rogers.
This disc also is special because it's Dol's 1st ever top 10 album in England, it's highest peaking at no.8, well done Dol your still as great as ever.
So then i fully recommened this CD, it's running high on hits covering her first top 30 hit single in Amercia from the late 60s "Dumb Blonde" to a duet with country queens Tammy and Lorretta from 1993. Decades of Dolly to be enjoyed therfore!
Also be sure to pick up the follow up to this CD, "The Very Best Of Dolly Parton Vol.2", it contains further hits plus album highlights.

DOLLY RULES!!!
