Hit: 5 Stars
I got this album when it first came out in '03 and I think it was a much needed record for the time. Dolly's voice sounds magnificant in these spiritual and patriotic songs! It is good to listen to anytime, driving down the road or cleaning the house is when I like to listen to it:) Dolly rerecorded LIGHT OF A CLEAR BLUE MORNING for the 3rd time for this album & its great. Some more standout tracks are "Gee Ma, I Wanna Go Home" "Go to Hell" "Welcome Home" to name just a few. A very inspirational CD! Highly recommended!!!Free Music Review: totally enjoyable listen

After excellent success on "Hungry Again", "The Grass Is Blue" which won her the 2001 Grammy for Best Bluegrass Album, "Little Sparrow" which won her the 2002 Grammy for Best Female Country Vocal Performance for the song "Shine" and "Halos & Horns", you would think Dolly's albums of the late 90s/early 2000s would get better, but so far they haven't. Dolly's albums dropped a little down the music charts again, just like she did in the early 90s. Dolly wasn't making really good albums, she was making either boring albums like "Slow Dancing With The Moon" or songs from other artists of the past. The great thing about Dolly is that she is a wonderful singer, songwriter & entertainer, so when she does covers, she makes them her own. So on "For God & Country" Dolly displays why she's a living legend, full of moving lyrics & music, some written by Dolly and some written by other artists, plus Dolly's vocals are at their best on here, full of emotion, heart and power. The album was a dedication to all the men & women, who have lost their lives in the Iraq war and past wars too. The highlights on this album include beautiful renditions of "The Star Spangled Banner" and "God Bless The U.S.A.". Another great rendition is of Dolly's own song that she wrote years ago called "Light Of A Clear Blue Morning" which seems to get better everytime she re-does it. Other highlights include "Welcome Home", "I'm Gonna Miss You", "Brave Little Soldier" and "Color Me America" all which were written deep down from the heart of Dolly. All the highlights I mention in this review are so moving, whether their happy or sad, the songs are full of meaning and heart.Free Music Review: Superfluous Dolly...

While I'm sure this album was crafted with the sincerest intention, For God And Country is the weakest Dolly album to come along since Something Special. There's a bit of everything here to satisfy every musical taste--from power ballad to gospel to bluegrass to camp to children's songs--but in the end this collection of songs just sounds aimless, overblown, and very self-indulgent. There are a couple of very inspired tracks among the 18: the gospel stomper "Go To Hell", in which Dolly rivals Aretha for the pulpit; and the gentle touch on "There Will Be Peace In The Valley" with The Fairfield Four is worth the disc alone. Otherwise, another (and weaker) recording of "Light Of A Clear Blue Morning" and the inevitible self-depricating boobs jokes are the last things Parton fans need--or, I'll venture to say, want. I've always loved Dolly and will continue to be enamored with her supreme talent, sense of humor, and unique musicality, but most everything about this recording (right down the photos in which she seems to be impersonating none other than Bozo!) exemplifies how gaudy and over-the-top Parton can be for her own good. For God And Country was a great idea, but very poorly realized.
