Dolly Parton covers Collective Soul's "Shine"
 

Came across this, found it interesting, figured I'd post it here.

I'm not a fan of Dolly Parton's vocal style, nor do I particularly like this video, but I do like the instrumentation.

... I would have preferred a William Shatner cover.

I sorta like it...she is an original,like Librace.....one of a kind and never another! xoxoxoo

I'll tell ya, though. My ex was a fan and I went to see her with him last year.

I was ready to be bored shitless, but that girl can put on a helluva show, and I was surprised that she could really sing. Everyone at that show had a blast. :thumbsup:

I agree 100% with everything you said, secret.

Also, Collective Soul's version is so much better.

No debate there.

nice arrangement... dobro and fiddle are hot.

That was sweet! Thanks. :) I like Dolly, she seems so genuine and down to earth.

Plummie! :D

Plummie! Good to see you around! :)

*wavies*

Sounds a bit like Hayseed Dixie, except she isn't joking.

Dolly performed at my university back when I was a student, and I was part of the opening performances, so us students were hanging out while she was doing her soundcheck. She is a genuinely happy, nice person. (I also met Bill Cosby at the same event, and the same can be said of him.)

I dig bluegrass covers of pop tunes. Fun stuff, even though I'm not a big Dolly fan.

(Hi, Plummie! Long time no see!)

I love Dolly. She's done some great covers...After the Gold Rush, Stairway to Heaven, Peace Train...many others. Not to mention she's written many, many good songs of her own. I think she's underrated.

I guess I could look this up, but how old is Dolly? 65? 70?

She is still a remarkably beautiful and fit woman... although she has this slightly artificial "doll-like" (NPI) appearance from the plastic surgery, she still comes off as very natural. Her docs, trainers, and wig techs are world-class.

I agree with her being underrated in the mainstream. However, the music community is very aware of her core bluegrass chops and what she's done to help countless others in their careers.

i love kicking a good rock song in the ass with some Dixie baby..........


been diggin' the banjo in our tunes lately..........



country rock is good............



i like Dolly's version...........:thumbsup:
