It's a little hard to take Rod Stewart seriously when, on the first track of this third installment in his Great American Songbook series, he sings ruefully about his love life being "lean" ("Embraceable You"). But otherwise, Stardust...Volume III is as note-for-note solid as its predecessors--a cozy-up-to-the-fire treat that's also a pleasant reminder of these songs' staying power. "S'Wonderful" settles on the ears winningly, and Stewart's scratchathon voice scalpels the cobwebs off of "Isn't It Romantic" in a way that compels the average listener to reconsider thinking it dopey. In addition, the parade of high-wattage pals recruited to pitch in continues here, resulting in a couple of must-hear combinations. Eric Clapton delivers a rather un-Clapton-like guitar solo on "Blue Moon" and Stevie Wonder blows harp like he means it on "What a Wonderful World," but it is the duets--"Baby It's Cold Outside" with the unsinkable Dolly Parton and "Manhattan" with the indomitable Bette Midler--that the dazzle most. --Tammy La Gorce

5 out of 5 stars So nice .......2007-07-16

I have played this cd over and over and enjoy it so much. It is wonderful for those of us who know those songs and just enjoy beautiful music. Just nice to hear lovely music once again.

5 out of 5 stars Rod Stewart Revisited.......2007-05-07

A nostalgic trip to the romantic past. Who would ever think Rod Stewart of "Hot Legs" fame could do such justice to these "Oldies but Goodies"?

4 out of 5 stars Nice listening tunes.......2007-04-01

I received a defective CD and Amazon promptly sent me a new one ... great customer service.

5 out of 5 stars igottaview.......2007-03-08

There is only 1 ROD STEWART and this album WILL NOT DISAPPOINT his fans! AWESOME! TIMELESS!

1 out of 5 stars If works once - do it over and over and over...........2007-03-05

I really like this music! Truly! And I'm only 25... It scares me that the ones who are gonna open "my generation" to this music are Rod Stewart & Westlife!
The choices of songs are good and the orchastration on the firts 2 are more the okey. But his torn old tired voice over these beautiful musical settings just doesn't do them justice. And why bring in Dolly Parton & Cher? They're both fantastic singers but jazzsingers they're NOT!
Why buy this when there's an limitless world of original jazz singers/musicians to choose from? It's just beyond me!
If you still want someone contemporaray - stick to Natalie Cole, Madeleyne Peyroux or my favourite: Stacey Kent (check her out - you WONT regret it!!!)
Back to Rod: The last effort (number 4 in the series) was so hastily put together the tracklist isn't even correct. I could just see him: "Alright people! I have an hour to record this, so just gimme the mic so I can get back to chasing women! How many millions is this cd gonna make me?! Really!? Great! We'll make another next month! Just throw something together - they'll buy anything!"
No - stick to the originals people!

Album Description

Johnny & June. George & Tammy. Kenny & Dolly. Conway & Loretta. Individually they're stars, but together these artists are stellar. These unforgettable pairings of distinctive voices produced No. 1 chart toppers in the '60s, '70s and '80s—and only the biggest hits made it on Classic Country: Great Duets.

This is one of the best I've heard if you like country & duets... Absolutely wonderful!

4 out of 5 stars Missing Some Major Duets!! .......2005-07-26

These tracks are all excellent but frankly several major country duets are not here!! Where on earth are Kenny Rogers and Dottie West?? Instead we get Rogers with Sheena Easton and the Rogers/Easton combo makes it almost entirely a pop recording and it should not be on this package. Buck Owens & Rose Maddox have a track but where is Buck with his far more famous duet partner Susan Raye? The Merle Haggard - Janie Fricke track should not have been included since she really only just sings harmony on the record. Why aren't Jimmy Wakely & Margaret Whiting who started the male/female star duet craze in 1949 with Slipping Around here or Kitty Wells & Red Foley, the first superstar duet? And where are Ferlin Husky & Jean Shepard, Jack Greene & Jeannie Seely, David Houston & Barbara Mandrell, Bobby Bare & Skeeter Davis, Roy Drusky & Priscilla Mitchell, Don Gibson & Dottie West, Johnny Duncan & Janie Fricke, to name just a few of the famous country duos of yore. Instead we have too many tracks with the same artists here. It's a very good package but it should have been a great and classic one.

I have been a Dolly fan since the late 70's and was ecstatic to find these earlier albums released on CD. If you are a true Dolly fan you'll love these old songs.....Don't miss out.

5 out of 5 stars Dolly: great balls of fire / dolly dolly dolly.......2007-05-15

love these albums - must have for any collector of Dolly's music.

5 out of 5 stars GREAT MUSIC.......2007-05-13

"Great Balls of Fire" has always been my favorite Dolly album, and "Dolly,Dolly, Dolly" shows her ability to cross over into pop music with ease. This cd is a must have for any Dolly fan.

5 out of 5 stars Love Love Love.......2007-05-06

I love this duo album I own both seperately on records. Great match

5 out of 5 stars Great deal for Dolly.......2007-04-10

Two of Dolly's long lost (and poppiest) albums finally make it onto CD. The 2 on 1 thing is a great deal as both albums ran under 35 minutes and I hope there are many more to follow. More importantly, the remastering is excellent and the sleeve notes include the front and back covers of both albums along with informative essays.

As I said, there are many Parton albums that have yet to see a CD release which is quite disgraceful and I really hope that along with the 3 UK 2 on 1's and the recent reissues in the States of 'Jolene' and 'Coat Of Many Colours' will come much more of Dolly's early 70's to mid-80's work.

Can I have a remaster of 'Here You Come Again', please. I missed the Buddha late 90's version!

3 out of 5 stars This is a very unusual cd, buy it and you will see why.............2000-09-20

This cd is a little different from most. Let me explain! This cd has a great mixture of several types of music. This cd features popular, classical, sacred, and wedding music. What a treat it is to have all these beautuful songs together on one cd.

The main concern I have for this cd is the fact that some of the arrangements were not up to par. As you will see, all songs are not ideal for harp arrangements. I liked about half of the songs performed on this cd. I feel like the song selection could have been a little bit better. If that had happened, I think this would have been an outstanding cd.

    4 out of 5 stars Different group of songs than normal.......2005-04-02

    I Just purchased this cd box set. It seems alright I suppose. The 3 cds come in indiviual jewel cases. There is no insert to speak of, the front page of each jewel case is just a picture, nothing on the back of the front cover. The back of the jewel case has the tracks, copyright information etc.

    The selection of songs (which you can see listed from Amazon) are not the normal selection you get when you mention Dolly Parton, but they are well done.

    One thing I noticed was that Jolene was sung a lot softer than the stock standard version of it, a bit of a surprise when you hear it; but I found it nice, seemed a little more mature than the normal version you always hear.

    If you like Dolly Parton, and you haven't got these songs by her, this is a buget package, no extras, etc., but the music is good, and that is what is important in the long run.

    5 out of 5 stars Dolly's hillbilly beginnings.......2005-04-13

    Dolly officially began her recording career on Monument - she made recordings before that but they are mainly of curiosity value. Dolly was still maturing as a singer during her time on Monument but I love these recordings as they have little in common with her later music (even her early RCA music). Dolly's natural voice contains a lot of vibrato that she gradually eliminated over many years. On these recordings, you hear Dolly sounding exactly as she was meant to sound - pure hillbilly.

    Originally, two albums were released on Monument (Hello I'm Dolly, As long as I love) although the second only appeared some time after Dolly joined RCA. Those albums have been released on CD as World of Dolly Parton volumes 1 and 2 in America and as a combined volume in Britain just titled World of Dolly Parton, but as I write this they are all out of print. This compilation includes tracks from both of them as well as other tracks previously un-released, so if you managed to buy those, you'll find some tracks new to you here.

    Here you will find Dolly's first two country hits, which were Dumb blonde (in which Dolly makes clear she's not dumb - she later admitted that she's not blonde either) and Something fishy (a song about a fishing trip that isn't just about fishing)

    Apart from her own hits, Dolly gained recognition as a songwriter. Skeeter Davis had a top ten country hit with Fuel to the flame. Bill Phillips had two top ten country hits with Dolly songs (The company you keep, Put it off until tomorrow) but has since faded into obscurity. Hank Williams Junior had a minor country hit with I'm in no condition. Other great tracks include The little things (reminding us that little things sometimes matter) and As long as I love, which was later covered by Dottie West. Some of these covers actually appeared before Dolly's recordings were publicly available.

    If you enjoy hillbilly music, you'll love this. If you are unfamiliar with Dolly's early recordings, this collection may come as a surprise to you.

    5 out of 5 stars Late 60's/Early 70's Dolly.......2001-01-22

    This is the collection if you are a fan of Dolly Parton and you are looking to hear her music from the late 60's early 70's. These were her first country hits, and some low charting pop songs, but these are classic. Sung like only Dolly could. This collection is a great insight into the career of Dolly Parton, which has lasted many many decades. A must have for fans!

    5 out of 5 stars Dolly and her songs are AGELESS.......2000-08-14

    Dolly Parton's songs will remain super hits for years and years and years. She sings her songs from her heart and they go straight into our hearts. I'm so glad to see her oldies but greaties out on CD so such great songs aren't lost forever. The songs on this CD are some of her very best from "way back when" and I'm thrilled to find so many on one CD. Dolly's great music legend is one that will never fade.
