Review

Entertainment Weekly (7/12/02, p.85) - "...Her original subjects ranges from witches to saints, gossipy tabloids to pastoral wonders; the covers veer wildly from Bread to Zepplin. She pulls it off, magnificently..." Rating: A-
Q (8/02, p.131) - 3 stars out of 5 - "...She sings as beautifully as she has ever done..."
Uncut (9/02, p.114) - 3 stars out of 5 - "...some of her best singing in years...a colleciton of pure Appalachian mountain magic."
Mojo (Publisher) (8/02, p.106) - "...Proves that she's still producing songs that stand comparison with her past and purloined classics..."

This is an Enhanced CD, which contains both regular audio tracks and multimedia computer files.

The third volume of a bluegrass trilogy dating back to 1999's stellar THE GRASS IS BLUE, HORNS AND HALOS finds Dolly Parton pulling together a wide variety of old and new material along with a few unorthodox cover choices. Struck by a sudden burst of creativity in the summer of 2001, Parton was further moved by the tragic events of September 11th. Drawing from her gospel background, this country legend penned some of the most poignant songs in her considerable canon. Spiritual nuances spill over into the most secular of songs. Although the stirring "Hello God" (with its stellar use of choir and strings) and uplifting "Raven Dove" (and its telling of the Second Coming) best represent the religious bent, it also comes across in the saints and sinners theme of the high lonesome title track.

This Tennessee native also digs into her hefty archive of self-penned songs for acoustic reworkings of her 1976 nugget "Shattered Image" and the ballad "What A Heartache," from the RHINESTONE soundtrack. Most surprising are a brisk reading of Bread's soft-rock smash "If" and a slightly reinvented version of the Led Zeppelin warhorse "Stairway To Heaven" that successfully transforms it into a gospel epic.
