I've enjoyed this 'real' country collection of Christmas songs since Dolly recorded it & I just enjoy her combination of both original and classic selections. When I heard that it may no longer be in production I snatched up another new CD. Merry Christmas.
I got this as a Christmas gift for a friend of mine who is a big Dolly fan.He loved it. One year later he expressed his appreciation when I called and it was playing.
Dolly Parton originally debut this wonderful Christmas album on her ABC Holiday special of the same name in December, 1990. The highlights are "Joy To The World", "We Three Kings", "Rudolph-The Rednose Reindeer", "Go Tell It On The Mountain", and "The First Noel". The special finished at #2 for the week and is widely regarded by Parton enthusiasts as being one of the best TV specials she has ever done. Although none of the songs are Dolly compositions, Miss Parton makes these tracks her own. The album only went as high as #74 on the Billboard Charts, but a few years after its release sold 500,000 copies garnering Dolly another gold album. Another Dolly Christmas masterpiece, which is even better than this, is her Holiday album with Kenny Rogers called "Once Upon A Christmas".
If you love Christmas and Dolly Parton, then you need to buy this for your Christmas collection.
Dolly sings the classic Christmas songs. If you like Dolly, you will enjoy this CD. I always loved her voice so I play this alot during the holidays.
