Dolly Parton

My favorite songwriter, Porter Wagoner

Before Dolly the Pop Icon. Before Dolly the Cultural Phenomenon. There was Dolly the most sublime songwriter and performer of her generation. The evidence is right here. "The Fairest Of Them All" is the greatest Dolly Parton album you've never heard, recorded over 1968 and 1969 and never reissued in any form, it is a superb recording from start to finish. Also included is the 1972 LP "My Favorite Songwriter, Porter Wagoner" a fine tribute to her mentor and companion through these years. Remastered with love and care from the original RCA Victor master tapes, both albums appear for the very first time on CD and are presented in a Deluxe Collector's edition with exclusive liner notes, unpublished photos and two very rare extra tracks

Daddy come and get me -- Chas -- When possession gets too strong -- Before you make up your mind -- I'm doing this for your sake -- But you loved me then -- Just the way I am -- More than their share -- Mammie -- Down from Dover -- Robert -- Everything is beautiful (in its own way) -- Lonely comin' down -- Do you hear the robins sing -- What ain't to be just might happen -- Bird that never flew -- Comes and goes -- Washday blues -- When I sing for him -- He left me love -- Oh he's everywhere -- Still on your mind -- Just as good as gone
