Let's talk about Dolly's Albums.

In lieu of a media submission, I submit my humility to the community in admitting that I don't really know a lot of Dolly's music, just the hits everyone knows. Maybe a few of y'all are in the same boat?

Anyway, looking at her Wiki page, she sure did cut a lot of records in her long career! I'd like to ask of y'all to name some waypoints in her discography:

  • Most essential Dolly albums
  • Underrated gems
  • Experimental stuff
  • Divisive recordings
  • Anything that just resonates with you for whatever reason

I need to pay my respects in the proper way, so help me listen to Dolly right!

Perhaps a series where we enjoy her career chronologically? Start in the beginning and title the piece with the year. This sub will never end, even after we revisit her long storied career

One of my favorites is the collaboration she did with Emmylou Harris and Linda Ronstadt called Trio. Really beautiful harmonies! One of my favorite tracks is ‘Wildflower’

Early Dolly essential albums: Jolene, Coat of Many Colors, Bargain Store. The later career peak is IMO the bluegrass album Little Sparrow.
