‘BACKWOODS BARBIE’—DOLLY PARTON [UNIVERSAL]
While we’re riding the gay train to homoville, let’s fall under the
hypnotic spell of country’s greatest female performer – the
distinctive, the inimitable, the superlative, Miss Dolly Parton.
Backwoods Barbie is her umpteenth album, and finds her as fresh
and poignant as ever. Her voice has that unique, powerful vibrato, and
a fierce sense of femininity that would run rings around even the most
ardent womyn.
Across 12 tracks (nine self penned), Dolly feels the pain of a broken heart and the subsequent joy of recovery.
Also here are covers of ‘Tracks of My Tears’ and ‘She Drives Me Crazy’.
