A few of my favorites that didn't make your list:

"The Bargain Store" (My #1 Dolly Parton song)
"Heartbreaker"
"It's All Wrong, But It's All Right"
"Joshua"
"Mule Skinner Blues"
"Old Flames Can't Hold a Candle to You"
"Sweet Summer Lovin'"
"You're The Only One"

tlc38tlc38 · 08-08-2017, 09:29 PM

^Yes, those are all really good, also.

Making my list was really tough.

tlc38tlc38 · 08-09-2017, 12:10 PM

I wish Dolly would record a blues album. I could see her doing remake versions of "Blue Me", "The Grass Is Blue", "Little Sparrow", "Dagger Through the Heart", "Yellow Roses", "To Daddy", and "Better Day" along with some new songs.

Awesome! I was there on July 7. Going back during Christmas!

I'm not a roller coaster fan cause I'm too chicken but I do like Blazing Fury & FireChaser Express....2 mild coasters.

Dollywood is an awesome park. You feel so safe there!

The Chasing Rainbows museum is A MUST!

I'm a roller coaster chicken too I must admit. I've been to MI Adventure and Cedar Point in OH -- never on any roller coasters. Mostly the Tilt-a-Whirl and rides like that.

He's Alive!

What is it about you I love?

Single Bars, Single Women

Apple Jack

Wildflowers

All the songs from the Trio album, actually.

I love this woman so much! She has given so much to this world with her philanthropy.

She also has a great sense of humor and the ability to reinvent herself in so many genres, singing, songwriting, acting, producing, writing a musical based on 9 to 5 and spreading the gift of literacy to people worldwide.

She also helped her own people when they were going through those fires last year.

Amazing lady with the voice of an angel.

tlc38tlc38 · 08-09-2017, 05:20 PM

^"He's Alive" is a great song and it's my Aunt's favorite by her.

"Applejack" is on my list. I love it because it's a fun song to sing along with.

Dolly is truly a national treasure!

tlc38tlc38 · 08-10-2017, 05:02 PM

REGULUS, Dolly is visiting Dollywood on August 18. She'll be at DP's Celebrity Theater inside Dollywood at 11am.

tlc38tlc38 · 04-05-2018, 12:05 PM

I recently discovered a Dolly song that I'd never heard and fell in love with it. "Bubbling Over" has been added to my list, replacing "Dumb Blonde".

"Bubbling Over" is from the album of the same name. The album has never been released on CD and the LP is extremely rare and hard to find, even on eBay. Hopefully, I'll be able to find it soon. I really like this LP...it has some really good songs.

There are so many good Dolly albums that haven't been released on CD in the US. Some have been released in the UK but some have never been released at all.

To my knowledge, these have not been released on CD at all...and they're so good:
In the Good Old Days (When Times Were Bad
My Blue Ridge Mountain Boy
Love is Like a Butterfly
The Bargain Store
Bubbling Over...this album is so underrated
Dolly-We Used To & The Seeker
Touch Your Woman
Heartbreak Express
