Free Music Review: "Hear Dolly Live!"
Hit: 5 Stars
After a serious career lull in the mid '90's Dolly Parton suddenly found herself recognized as the artist that made a comeback with a series of bluegrass albums for the independent label Sugar Hill Records. Her three albums "Grass Is Blue", "Little Sparrow", and "Haloes and Horns" brought Dolly multiple Grammy wins, and suddenly Dolly was finally recognized as the talented artist she is. This CD "Live and Well" is an overview of her bluegrass career.
"Live and Well" was recorded on December 12th and 13th, 2002 after Dolly did her first major tour in the U.S. in over ten years. The tour was a complete sell-out, and this album has Dolly performing some of the lesser-known songs from her bluegrass albums, along with some of her biggest hits, done in a bluegrass manner. Hits like "9 to 5", "Jolene", and "Coat of Many Colors" are performed, and one of the best parts of the CD is the accapella version of "Islands in the Stream" and "Here You Come Again". The CD was recorded at Miss Parton's Celebrity Theatre at Dollywood. There is also a companion DVD of this concert as well.
"Live and Well" was not, however, a huge seller, only going as far as #22 country and #161 pop on the Billboard Charts.
In late 2009 Dolly will be releasing two new live CD's and DVD's of her 2008 European concert on her own Dolly Records label.
Live and Well Poster
There isn't a more ebullient live performer in all of popular music than Dolly Parton, as this chatty concert recording attests. Though Parton had been on hiatus from touring for a decade, she reconnects here with an audience that extends from country traditionalists to drag queens (to whom she dedicates her classic "Jolene"). Banjo and fiddle drive the acoustic arrangements and bluegrass harmonies highlight the choruses as Parton surveys a career-spanning selection of material on this two-disc set, applying her signature vocal quaver to hits from "Coat of Many Colors" to "9 to 5" and "I Will Always Love You." The concert extends her musical terrain to Led Zeppelin's "Stairway to Heaven," Neil Young's "After the Gold Rush," and a breathy rendition of Bread's "If," while an a cappella medley renews the likes of "Islands in the Stream" and "Here You Come Again." Parton's in fine voice throughout and even better spirits, spending almost as much time bantering with the crowd as she does singing. Where many live recordings are little more than songs with applause, this is the full Dolly. --Don McLeeseCountry Music CDs
