DOLLY PARTON HAD A NUMBER OF HITS IN THE LATE 1960S AS PORTER WAGONER'S DUET PARTNER, YET SOLO SUCCESS ELUDED HER UNTIL HER 1971 ALBUM 'COAT OF MANY COLORS'. THE TITLE TRACK WAS A TOP TEN SINGLE, AND IT EFFECTIVELY BECAME HER SIGNATURE SONG, LARGELY BECAUSE IT WAS A SWEETLY AUTOBIOGRAPHICAL TUNE ABOUT DOLLY'S CHILDHOOD. THAT SONG, ALONG WITH ITS TWO HIT PREDECESSORS, 'TRAVELING MAN' AND 'MY BLUE TEARS' WERE EVIDENCE THAT PARTON WAS A STRONG SONGWRITER, BUT THE FULL ALBUM REVEALS THE TRUE DEPTH OF HER TALENTS. SHE WROTE SEVEN OF THE TEN SONGS (WAGONER WROTE THE OTHER THREE), NONE OF WHICH IS FILLER. A REMARKABLY CONSISTENT ALBUM, IN TERMS OF SONGWRITING AND PERFORMANCES, BUT ALSO REMARKABLY DIVERSE, REVEALING THAT DOLLY CAN HANDLE BALLADS, COUNTRY-ROCKERS, TEARJERKERS, AND COUNTRY-POP WITH EQUAL APLOMB. ALSO AVAILABLE ON 180 GM VINYL: 'JOLENE'
