Summary: Let Your Fingers do the Walking
Comment: This purchase was made from the comfort of my home (it was snowing and cold outside). It was easy, a much better deal than mail in music companies (about $12-15 cheaper), fast and arrived in a couple of days. VERY HAPPY!!! I WILL use this service again. Thank you for the time, money and frustration you saved me.

Summary: Not much on country, but it's pretty good
Comment: I listened to this, and it took me back to days of listening to WRCP in Philadelphia, PA. in the backseat of my parent's car. Especially with the older material, and I feel her voice was one of innocence in those earlier tunes, and I know that I have to separate all of this from my own wonders of the Southern culture. I began to notice a couple of tunes dealt with Biblical Themes: "Joshua", and "Coat Of Many Colors". I know that the south is the Bible Belt, but I have to wonder where the Bible ends, and Southern Traditions begin, and how they're supposed to be intertwined. I also see how country is starting to sound more like early r&b from the seventies, and I just would like to sit down with some of these southern musicians like Dolly and The Statler Brothers, and see where thier faith lies, and what leads them to record songs like "Dumb Blonde", and "Why'd You Come In Here Looking Like That?", and then there's the attitude of "If You Can't Beat Them Join Them." Where I found this on the last song on the album where she covers the songs like Collective Soul's "Shine?" I know that I used to work in a truck company, and everyone there was flabbergasted when I requested a block of the Doobie Brothers for my birthday on a rock station, and it was because they were staunch country and western lovers, so what happens? I am just filled with so many questions about this, and I also want to take time here to commment of "Mule Skinner Blues" I feel it's one of the worst songs ever written let alone recorded. By far, and I'm sorry to say Dolly's was the worst. It was like eating french cut green beans, and the slivers going down your throat. It was like waking up one morning, and have your parents yelling and screaming at you for no reason, it just leaves you with a impending feeling of depression for the rest of your day, week, your life. I just hate it because it's a bad tune, and when I think of Mule Skinning it's pain where mules are skinned alive to make whatever product would make you rich, and while I'm not an animal's rights activist I do feel the pain of a mule when it was skinned because that's what I feel I'm going through when hearing this song. I just have so many questions pertaining to the southern musicians, but I want to keep this separate from the stuff on here that's actually good. I feel that Dolly is talented, so that's what I choose to focus on here, and perhaps I'll have a chance to talk with her sometime to find out what the south is all about.
