Porter Wagoner Artist Snapshot:

One of country's most enduring stars, Porter Wagoner is nearly as well-known for his flashy clothes as for his music. With his Hank Williams-inspired brand of honky-tonk, Wagoner was a mainstay of the country charts from the early '50s all the way through to the early 80's, and has remained a constant presence at the Grand Old Opry. From the mid-60's to the mid-70's, Wagoner teamed with Dolly Parton for a long string of hit duets. Wagoner passed away in 2007, shortly after the release of his final studio album, WAGONMASTER.

Review

Entertainment Weekly (6/28-7/5/96, p.107) - "...As a duet team, Wagoner and Parton were surpassed only by George Jones and Tammy Wynette in influence and emotional resonance..." - Rating: B

Title Note

This is part of RCA's Essential Series.

Second only to George Jones and Tammy Wynette as the greatest male-female duo in country music history, Porter Wagoner and Dolly Parton had a less tempestuous personal relationship, but nearly as perfect a marriage of voices. Parton's voice in the duo days was a positively helium-pitched soprano, with less depth than she would later develop. On the earliest hits here, like the 1967 "The Last Thing on My Mind," Wagoner's occasionally lugubrious baritone provide a needed balance.

Over the course of this 20-track compilation covering the duo's 1967-74 collaborations, one can hear Parton's confidence and skill blossoming, until by the time of "Daddy Was An Old-Time Preacher Man," one of her many autobiographical hits, she's clearly the star of the show. It was apparently Wagoner's dissatisfaction at being overshadowed by his former protege that hastened the duo's end, a particular shame since Wagoner had little success afterwards, while Parton became a global superstar. THE ESSENTIAL PORTER WAGONER AND DOLLY PARTON, true to its name, is the best single-disc collection of the duo's classics.
