Blue Smoke [CD]

Customer Rating

4

Great new CD from the Legendary Miss Dolly Parton

on June 7, 2014

Posted by: CTay

from Eugene, OR

GRADE: B+

This CD has pretty much everything that Dolly can sing or write about. From the Appalachian/Bluegrass sound of the title-track to the beautiful ballads of "Try" and "Unlikely Angel" (from her TV movie of the same name from 1996) Dolly is sure to please all her fans and then some.

Her cover of Jon Bon Jovi's "Lay Your Hands On Me" is simply electrifying and her duets with Kenny Rogers "You Can't Make Old Friends" and Willie Nelson "From Here to The Moon and Back", a song she recorded with Kris Kristofferson for her film "Joyful Noise" only add to the essence of the album.

BILLBOARD CHART POSITIONS:

For the week ending May 23rd, 2014 "Blue Smoke" debut at #2 on the Billboard Country Charts and an amazing #6 on the Billboard Pop Charts making this the first time a solo Dolly Parton album has entered the Top 10 on the Pop Chart. This is a career first for Dolly. The CD in its first week of release has sold over 40,000 copies!!!

What's great about it: First single "Home" is upbeat & radio-friendly

What's not so great: Could have more pop-sounding songs

I would recommend this to a friend!
