Dolly Parton - Blue Smoke

Now 68, Dolly keeps on rolling. Her 42nd album is a patchwork quilt of styles, from the opening bluegrass title track, a rollicking train song, to the closing “Try,” an inspirational power-pop ballad. In between, she covers Bob Dylan and even Bon Jovi and displays her characteristic down-home honesty on the stirring backwoods country of “Home.”
