REVISITING DOLLY PARTON’S GOSPEL SONGS

Thursday, March 25, 2010

From the timeless gospel classic "How Great Thou Art" to "Daddy Was An Old Time Preacher Man," a personal tribute she wrote for her grandfather, Dolly Parton's devotion to faith and family shine throughout this potent collection of songs. Parton's considerable talent as a songwriter informs such gems as "Master's Hand," "The Golden Streets of Glory," and "God's Coloring Book." There's an understated charm to the no-frills production that places the spotlight on Parton's distinctive vocals. In an ever-changing world, where everyone is bombarded daily with worisome headlines, these songs of hope and inspiration offer a welcome haven from the storms of life.

The ten songs of Golden Streets of Glory now provide the foundation for a new collection, LETTER TO HEAVEN: SONGS OF FAITH AND INSPIRATION, whose 17 tracks focus on Dolly's most important spiritual recordings of the early 1970s. With a brand new liner notes essay written by Billboard magazine's Deborah Evans Price.
