Dolly Parton and Friends (2007)

You get a double dose of Dolly in this 2 disc set. It’s culled from her TV Show that ran for I don’t know how long in the mid-70’s. Guests include Kenny Rogers, Emmylou Harris and Linda Ronstadt, among others.
It’s all very wholesome and friendly, with so much soft focus that it felt like I’d walked into a little girl's dream. The obviously scripted ‘impromptu’ conversations are hilarious at times and Dolly’s wigs are out of control but the songs are plentiful, and that’s the reason I was there. The highlight of the set for me was the bonus songs, which ironically were from some other TV show.
