Trio

beautiful, so glad i got this for the day after dolly passed. what beautiful harmonies. loved this

RIP to a true legend. Pretty normal country music.

The songs are old style Nashville sadness, but when their voices come together and launch into To Know Him is to Love Him or Linda Thompson's Telling Me Lies, it's spine tingling.

Five stars for the performances, but the songs are probably not everyone's cup of tea.

Rest in peace Dolly :(

Not the sort of music I usually listen to, but I have to say that every bit of it is well done. And also the sadness of losing Dolly Parton - who again, I never listened to, but had HUGE appreciation for because of her essential goodness, more and more examples of which I’ve been hearing of in the past 24 hours. And of course Linda Ronstadt and Emmylou Harris both have amazing voices and make a great contribution to this album. (And ok, “Wildflowers” is making me cry.)

Favorite track(s): Making Plans, Wildflowers, Farther Along

RIP.

What timing, Dolly passed away yesterday. Rest in peace to one of the top ten humans. Her voice is a treasure, I'm honored to have been alive to hear her.
This album is not my favorite, a little heavy handed on the old vibrado. And viola.

I know Parton just died, but I'm having trouble finding this album interesting. Country as a genre is pretty bland to begin with, and this doesn't really do anything to stray from that. Coat of Many Colors was definitely better than this.

R.I.P Dolly. I got your album on 26.8 2026 and you died a day earlier. Fly high 🕊️

Obviously Dolly was a person with many admirable qualities. In particular the philanthropy.

This a good record. Liked the hints towards British folk revival that are throughout the record.

*Easy to listen to with nice harmonies and country sound
*Great harmonies but no songs truly grabbed me

Sorry Dolly, but I really don't like country, no matter how good a person you were

The generator has now presumably given every user either this album or Dolly Parton's 1971 record "Coat of Many Colors" as a tribute to Dolly, who passed on yesterday. This album, meanwhile, is a perfectly pleasant country album that lacks any real standout tracks. The collaboration of three legendary(albeit similar-sounding) country singers makes for a far more interesting backstory than the album. The vocals harmonize nicely, but the lyrics are mostly repetitive meditations about heartbreak, and the album mostly stays in one groove. It's not a bad groove, but it's not the best one that any of these artists have used, and you'd expect more given their reputations. Coat of Many Colors was a far better record than this, and probably a better encapsulation of Dolly's legacy.

This site _definitely_ knows what's going on in the news. Dolly Parton just passed away yesterday. I've never listened to this album before, but I'm really looking forward to this.

This is just great. These three voices fit together so nice. I'll be adding this to my list of albums to listen to again.

Love Dolly as a person. She’s a true icon. Unfortunately outside of Jolene and maybe 9 to 5, I really only think of her music as fine at best. I don’t generally care for country and her stuff doesn’t really stand out compared to a lot of other stuff

This is a nice palette cleanser of an album. It's a bit of mix of different styles derivative of country music. This is kind of like a Travelling Wilbury's like crossover of musicians but more country-oriented. Other than the typical vocals and acoustic guitars you might expect from country, it has some very lush harmonies (example: "The Pain of Loving You.")

Most of it is fine, it's nothing too noteworthy, but it's all very much sweet. It's shocking that Dolly - who exemplified kindness - has passed away, godspeed Dolly!

Highlight Song/s: "The Pain of Loving You", "Wildflowers" and "My Dear Companion"

I guess I'm meant to give this a higher rating in the light of Parton's death yesterday. Well, too bad; this is about as country as they come and country, to me, is intolerable, so sadly there won't be any sympathy points given, sorry.

Good voices, boring songs for the most part. 2.5/5. Raising to 3.

Better than Coldplay

Three lovely lovely voices and some beautiful harmonies.
Parton is probably the weakest of the three, but brings her songwriting talent to the table to make up for it.

What this loses in the country 'sameyness' of the songs, it certainly gains back in the quality of the voices.
