Dolly Parton Drops a 93 Song Digital Surprise!

There was a huge surprise in store for country music fans yesterday with the digital release of six Dolly Parton albums! This release was the largest single digital catalog drop in Dolly’s career. The six albums are:

Little Sparrow (2001)

Halos and Horns (2002)

For God & Country (2003)

Live & Well (2004)

Those Were the Days (2005)

Better Day (2011)

In amongst the release is the particularly poignant ‘Hello God’ from Halos and Horns, a song originally released in reaction to the 9-11 terror attacks, with the hope it would bring healing and help in response to the Covid-19 crisis.

“Hello, God? Can you grant us love enough to make amends?
Hello, God? Is there still a chance that we could start again?
Can you help me go the distance? Hello God?”

Also amongst the collection are a live album recorded in Dollywood (Live and Well) and an album of cover songs from the 60’s and 70’s each featuring a guest on every track. When you realise those guests include Norah Jones, Keith Urban and Alison Krauss, you’ll know you’re in for a treat.

Aside from the album drops, it’s become an incredibly busy time for Dolly Parton, including a 10-week series named ‘Goodnight with Dolly’, where she reads bedtime stories for the many children affected by Covid-19, while posting humorous poems on Facebook for adults. At a time when the world is a strange and scary place, Dolly Parton’s familiar and comforting presence is making a difference to many – still managing to put smiles on faces the world over, despite the current crisis.
