Dolly Parton : Coat of Many Colors (Rainbow Galaxy Vinyl)

Whats most apparent, though, across Coat of Many Colors through the pain, the work, the heartbreak and even the cruelty is Partons complete, undying adoration for life and the people in it. Early Morning Breeze, a track that subtly veers into psychedelic folk, is a spiritual meditation that observes and appreciates the simplicity of an early morning walk through a meadow and a moment of prayer. Album closer A Better Place To Live takes time to imagine what an actively kinder world would look like. Bold and brilliant Here I Am, in retrospect, serves as a much more definitive, and more fitting, introduction to her self-driven rise than a simple Hello, Im Dolly. Sung almost exclusively in Dollys unhinged all-out belt, the songs a pipe-showcasing testament to the simple power of showing up: lending a hand, offering an understanding ear, knowing how much love youve got to give and shelling it out indiscriminately.
