I’m a fan of old bluegrass and country. I like a lot of the work that Dolly did with Emmylou Harris and Linda Ronstadt in their Trio formation. Three sterling voices – with the best musicians backing them up.

The harmonies in this give me chills.

Emmylou Harris fits in nicely between country and folk – “Red Dirt Girl” is a great album. Emmylou Harris and Mark Knopfler also did a great album together. Try Gillian Welch, Lucinda Williams and Allison Kraus as well.

Jolene

I know very little Dolly Parton. My favourite Dolly Parton song is actually a cover of “Jolene” by a band called Me First and the Gimme Gimmes from their “Love Their Country” album. Here it is

If you’re into Cash, you should listen to Merle Haggard, Patsy Cline, Hank Williams and the present-day country done by Hank Williams III (also known as Hank3). He goes back to his Grandpa’s roots, and it’s awesome. Avoid Hank Williams Jr. He sucks. If you want to expand into Southern Rock, Lynyrd Skynyrd has way more songs than Sweet Home Alabama and Free Bird, and they are wonderful.

Asleep at the Wheel – alone and in their many collaborations are tremendous. Good musicians and great fun.

Hot Rod Lincoln

Great band if you can catch them live

Lyle Lovett with Asleep at the Wheel – Blues for Dixie

Now I want to dance :)

Randy Travis. On The Other Hand is a personal favorite of mine.

@BellaB and I were separated at mirth!
Asleep at the Wheel swings, Miles and Miles of Texas.

Love is like a butterfly
Jolene
I will always love you

Lucinda Williams – Sweet Old World

Hurray For The Riff Raff – Look Out Mama

Jason Isbell – a 15 minute acoustic set

Glen Campbell – Gentle On My Mind

Kelly Hogan – I Like To Keep Myself In Pain

The only Dolly Parton song that I really know of was her big hit that was out when I was a teen, ”Islands in the Stream” which was a duet with Kenny Rogers.

Coat of Many Colors
Listen to the young, clean voice she had.
She’s had no equal, but lived in a time where there weren’t many songwriters that could highlight her vocal strengths.
