Free Music Notes for 9 to 5 and Odd Jobs

Free Music Review: One of Dolly's best Hollywood albums
Hit: 5 Stars

The album yielded two number one country hits - 9 to 5 and But you know I love you - with 9 to 5 giving Dolly her first (and only solo) American number one pop hit. Sadly, it barely scraped into the top 50 in Britain. Her dramatic cover of House of the rising sun made the country top 20, although this particular track has no country credentials whatsoever - it is brilliant, but it is pure pop.

Country fans will particularly enjoy Detroit city and Deportee. Detroit city began life as a country hit for Bobby Bare and became an international pop hit for Tom Jones. Deportee is a cover of a Woody Guthrie song about a plane crash.

Although more pop than country, I particularly enjoy Hash a bye hard times and Sing for the common man. Actually, it's all good stuff here as far as I'm concerned, but you need to like both pop and country to fully appreciate this album.

Among Dolly's Hollywood albums, Here you come again is my favorite, but this one and Real love are both very close behind.
