Dolly's greatest hits collection coming soon

Wednesday, September 7, 2022 – "Dolly Parton - Diamonds & Rhinestones: The Greatest Hits Collection" is coming via RCA Records, Dolly Records and Legacy Recordings, on Nov. 18.

A career-spanning retrospective showcasing 23 recordings from 1971-2020, "Dolly Parton - Diamonds & Rhinestones: The Greatest Hits Collection" includes new liner notes penned by veteran country journalist Robert K. Oermann, who collaborated with Dolly on her 2020 autobiography, "Dolly Parton, Songteller: My Life in Lyrics."

A cross-label anthology, the disc brings together, for the first time on one album, recordings originally released on Dolly Records, RCA Victor and Columbia Records, as well as the Butterfly Records digital single, "When Life Is Good Again," written and recorded in 2020 as Parton's musical message of hope to fans as the pandemic rolled in.

Songs include Dolly's performances with Kenny Rogers ("Islands in the Stream" and "Real Love"), Loretta Lynn and Tammy Wynette ("Silver Threads and Golden Needles" from "Honky Tonk Angels") and "Faith," her 2020 collaboration with the Swedish electropop dance duo Galantis (featuring Mr. Probz). The album features songs from Dolly's films including "9 To 5" (from 1980's "9 To 5 And Odd Jobs"), "Red Shoes" (from 2018's "Dumplin'") and "Tennessee Homesick Blues" from 1984's "Rhinestone").

CD review - A Holly Dolly Christmas A Dolly Parton Christmas album seems like a natural, as Parton oftentimes comes off like a child inside an adult's body.
