EXTD=The Essential Dolly Parton - Disc 2 of 2\n2005 RCA/Legacy\n\nOriginally Released June 28, 2005\n\nAMG EXPERT REVIEW: There have been many, many Dolly Parton compilations over the years, but RCA/Legacy's 2005 set The Essential Dolly Parton is one of 
EXTD=the handful that gets it right. Spanning two discs and 37 tracks, this set covers her entire career, from her 1967 debut, Hello, I'm Dolly, to her 2001 bluegrass comeback album, Little Sparrow, but the bulk of this set concentrates on her hitmaking 
EXTD=years for RCA in the '70s and '80s. Since Dolly had so many hits, not all of them can be included even on a double-disc collection, but this does a tremendous job of picking the biggest and the best of them. Roughly, the first disc covers her first 
EXTD=decade of recording, including a healthy dose of her inventive country-folk material from the early '70s, while the second disc covers her slicker crossover hits from the '80s. Dividing her material in this fashion makes each disc consistent within 
EXTD=itself, and helps make this a more listenable set than such similar career-spanning collections as 1993's The RCA Years. While Raven's excellent Mission Chapel Memories: 1971-1975 documents her most creative period more effectively, this tells the s
EXTD=tory of her entire career, and it's the best of its kind of compilation yet assembled. -- Stephen Thomas Erlewine \n\nAmazon.com Customer Review\nThis is a good highlight of her RCA years, but...., July 27, 2005\nReviewer: James Fenos "music freak" 
EXTD=(Columbus, OH United States)\nBeing released on the newly formed Legacy/BMG merged label, one would think Legacy would try to feature more songs from their vaults and tracks recorded from her brief stint with UMG. While the mastering of this cd with
EXTD= her over compiled recordings from RCA sound the best ever, I really feel Legacy missed out on a golden opportunity. While "Shine" closes out this set, the bluegrass album that preceeded it, "The Grass Is Blue," isn't represented at all, as isn't "H
EXTD=alos and Horns." Dolly's one off album with MCA/Decca "Hungry Again" could have be represented by "Paradise Road," and "Treasures" could have been represented by it's huge hit "Peace Train," which was subject to a number of remixes for club consumpt
EXTD=ion. The Sony label could have been better highlighted with hits like "Romeo" and the gospel anthem "He's Alive." I think now we must move past compilations and focus on re-issues. A lot of Dolly's albums, there are a lot of them, have been langushi
EXTD=ng in the vaults for years; dust 'em off already. \n\nAmazon.com Customer Review\nAlmost as good as can be expected of a double CD, July 14, 2005\nReviewer: P D Harris "Pete the music and horse racing fan" (Leicester England) \nYou may remember a pr
EXTD=evious compilation, Ultimate Dolly Parton, that was released a couple of years ago. The standard American version was a single CD containing 20 tracks. The UK version had those tracks plus a bonus re-mix of Early morning breeze. There was also a dou
EXTD=ble-CD version that contained 36 tracks, available by mail order only from one outlet in the USA, which did not allow orders from outside the USA. However, this version was released as standard in Germany so anybody who wanted it could buy the Germa
EXTD=n version if they couldn't buy (or didn't know about) the mail order version - it is available from several Amazon sites. This new compilation is a re-packaging and re-issue of that double-CD with one extra track added - Shine. Therefore, if you've 
EXTD=already got the 36-track version of Ultimate Dolly Parton, you don't need this - you can buy Shine elsewhere. The remainder of this review is for those who haven't got the 36-track double CD. \n\nTo anybody who already owns a compilation of Dolly's 
EXTD=music for RCA, the track listing here has a familiar look to it with few exceptions. The exceptions are Please don't stop loving me, a sensational duet with Porter Wagoner not normally included on Dolly's solo compilations, To know him is to love hi
EXTD=m, from the first Trio album, and Why'd you come in here looking like that, from Dolly's period with Columbia. \n\nThe other tracks here include many Dolly classics, notably Jolene (her only UK top ten solo hit), Islands in the stream (a duet with K
EXTD=enny Rogers that became a USA number one pop hit and UK top ten hit), Here you come again (a USA top three pop hit), Coat of many colors (Dolly's autobiographical signature song), Bargain store (which some radio stations thought too risqu), 9 to 5 
EXTD=(a USA number one pop hit), It's all wrong but it's all right (much more risqu than Bargain store), My Tennessee mountain home (a look at the good times in her childhood), Love is like a butterfly (one of Dolly's finest romantic songs), The seeker 
EXTD=(another great romantic song though this one can also be interpreted as a gospel song), Mule skinner blues (a cover of a Jimmie Rodgers song that provided Dolly with her first major American country hit - it made the top three), Joshua (her first nu
EXTD=mber one country hit) and Dumb blonde (her first country hit of any size - it made the top thirty). \n\nEven 37 tracks can't include everything though I will admit to being particularly disappointed at the omission of Yellow roses, a number one coun
EXTD=try hit and one of my favorite Dolly songs. Other omissions include Real love (a duet with Kenny Rogers), Applejack, Baby I'm burning, Think about love and Do I ever cross your mind. \n\nIf you only want one collection of Dolly's music covering both
EXTD= her traditional country and her pop-country music, make it this one. Even if you want to build a collection, this is a great way to start.\n\nAmazon.com Customer Review\nBetter Than Average Parton Compilation But Still Deeply Problematic, July 9, 2
EXTD=005\nReviewer: Avid Runner (USA) \nFor reasons of cluelessness, that I have long since quit trying to figure out, RCA and BMG have spend the past 15 years or so constantly taking the same handful of Dolly Parton songs and put them on compilation aft
EXTD=er compilation while they continue to allow many, many of her songs and albums, particularly those from her pre-pop country phase (from circa 1977 back) languish in their vaults gathering dust and never ever even issued once on CD. Do a song search 
EXTD=on Amazon for "Here You Come Again," "9 to 5," "Two Doors Down," "I Will Always Love You," "Old Flames," and "Islands in the Stream" and you'll find that there are already dozens of CD compilations that have these songs. Then do a search for "My Blu
EXTD=e Ridge Mountain Boy," "Just Because I'm a Woman," or "Down From Dover" and you'll find far, far fewer and for that later song you will find that only a new version, which she recorded for her "Little Sparrow" album remains in print. \n\nOK. So this
EXTD= 2- disc compilation goes a little ways to correct some of that. Unlike most other compilations it does acknowledge that there was more to Dolly Parton before her mid to late 70's pop sellout than "Coat of Many Colors" and "Jolene" both marvelous so
EXTD=ngs (and in the case of CoMC magnificent) which are usually to two songs tossed on all the pop compilations that are supposed to make up for the absence of any comprehensive collection of Parton's most artistically compelling period, this one gives 
EXTD=a decent, if far from complete, overview of it. Nevertheless, this compilation remains problematic. \n\nFor starters, rather than giving us a two disc set of songs that have generally been ignored in the CD era, it uses the second disc to, once agai
EXTD=n give us songs that have been released over and over and over again. Face it. Does anyone who really wants to have "Here You Come Again," "I Will Always Love You," or "9 to 5" on CD STILL not have it? And since a large number of people who have an 
EXTD=interest in Parton's more traditional country period have little to no interest in her pop sellout phase why bundle these discs together and slap a twenty dollar plus list price on it meaning that we have to choose either between paying a premium co
EXTD=st for a single disc (since disc two will go unplayed) or (the more likely option) forgoing buying this altogether? And all of this doesn't get into the fact that the less satisfying pop stuff begins to creep in on disc one. \n\nBMG & RCA: WAKE UP!!
EXTD=!! You have a treasure trove of material by this woman collecting dust in your vaults. Can't SOMEBODY give the American market a first rate collection of Dolly Parton's pre pop career? An Australian label released one a few years ago called "Mission
EXTD= Chapel Memories." What do they Aussies know that you all don't? \n\nGiven nothing but the song selection here, this compilation would warrant three to maybe three and a half stars (the second disc dragging down the overall rating) but given the ove
EXTD=rall problems I have to drag it down to two which alone resists strong temptation to vent my frustrations at BMG & RCA with a one star rating.\n\nAmazon.com Customer Review\nPretty much covers it all, July 8, 2005\nReviewer: Allen Chapman (STAFFORD 
EXTD=SPRINGS, CT USA) \nThis collection of Dolly's hits pretty much covers the entire output of her career, at least hit-wise. Kicking things off with "Dumb Blonde" and going up thru her cover of Collective Soul's "Shine". Along the way you get all the h
EXTD=its one right after another. The only area that isn't fully represented are her duets with Porter Wagoner, the only Porter/Dolly duet included is their only #1 country hit "Please Don't Stop Loving Me", in fact all of Dolly's #1 country hits are her
EXTD=e. A great set and truly Essential listening for a Dolly fan. \nJust a short note, two years ago BMG/Heritage put out "The Ultimate Dolly Parton", that was a single disc collection. At the same time that set was released came a two disc version that
EXTD= was only availble thru mail order. This new collection is the same as the previous two disc set. The only difference is inclusion of "Shine" on "The Essential Dolly Parton".\n\nAmazon.com Customer Review\nA Solid Overview of a Brilliant Career, Jul
EXTD=y 3, 2005\nReviewer: Steve Vrana (Aurora, NE) \nThere are literally dozens of compilations to sift through when it comes to one of country music's most prolific artists, but THE ESSENTIAL DOLLY PARTON is hands down the most thorough. Of course, you'
EXTD=re not going to get every hit from a nearly 40-year career, but this 37-song collection touches on most of the highlights. \n\nBeginning with the 1967 hit "Dumb Blonde" from her major label debut HELLO, I'M DOLLY and ending with "Shine" from 2001's 
EXTD=bluegrass roots album LITTLE SPARROW, this is a chronological look at one of country music's most gifted artists. In addition to early classics like "Jolene" and "Coat of Many Colors," there are the crossover hits like "Here You Come Again" and "9 t
EXTD=o 5." In addition there are duets with her late-sixties partner Porter Wagoner ("Please Don't Stop Loving Me") and Kenny Rogers ("Islands in the Stream"), along with her work with Emmylou Harris and Linda Ronstadt ("To Know Him Is To Love Him"). It'
EXTD=s also worth noting that Parton wrote more than half of these songs, including her original rendition of "I Will Always Love You"--which, frankly, I prefer to Whitney Houston's over-the-top version. \n\nIf you're looking for a solid introduction to 
EXTD=Parton's entire career, look no further. THE ESSENTIAL is exactly what you've been waiting for. VERY HIGHLY RECOMMENDED\n\nAmazon.com Customer Review\nRespectable Overview of a Remarkable Career, June 30, 2005\nReviewer: Dolly Fan "Dolly Fan" (Virgi

EXTD=ctive Soul's song "Shine". The sound on this collection is at it's very best due to the remastering of all of the tracks. \n\nHopefully some other jewels from Dolly's time with BMG, Legacy's parent company, will be reissued by the label in their ori
EXTD=ginal form. Parton has a very rich catalog of recorded music, most of which is long out of print and needs to be reissued for a whole new generation to discover and enjoy. \n\nIf you are a new Dolly fan, then this is the collection for you. Long tim
EXTD=e fans are still longing for the early 1970's Dolly albums to be reissued and will probably already own the recordings featured on this CD.\n\nHalf.com Album Credits\nEmmylou Harris, Contributing Artist\nKenny Rogers, Contributing Artist\nLinda Rons

EXTD=s hits from the late '70s, '80s, and beyond continue on the second disc. Runaway '80s hits "9 to 5" (from the titular film starring Parton) and "Islands in the Stream" (her Bees Gees-penned duet with Kenny Rogers) represent her commercial peak, but 
EXTD=the remaining latter-day songs reveal that Parton's talents--particularly her distinctive high, clear voice--were still going strong into the 2000s (most notably on her bluegrass rendition of Collective Soul's rock hit, "Shine"). For those looking f
