Dolly the hillbilly singer part 1.......2004-10-16

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.

This album is a straight re-issue of the original album, Hello I'm Dolly, which yielded the country hits 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 Your ole handy man (a protest against a lazy man expecting his woman to do everything), I don't want to throw rice (warning off a rival woman) and The little things (reminding us that little things sometimes matter).

If you enjoy hillbilly music, you'll love this.

This CD actually contains her early album "Hello, I'm Dolly".......2003-12-27

"Hello, I'm Dolly" was recorded in 1967 for the Monument label. This is the only available CD version of it that I have found. It is a great album.
