Dolly Parton was a crossover superstar when she recorded this album--the infectious title song, which she wrote, was the theme from the movie of the same name, in which she made her acting debut. Not suprisingly, much of the album is chart oriented state-of-the-art early '80s pop fluff, but Parton still finds time to flash her country and folk roots. Standout tracks include a terrific cover of Mel Tillis' "Detroit City," a riveting version of Woody Guthrie's classic migrant worker anthem "Deportee (Plane Wreck at Los Gatos)," a surprisingly fresh take on "House of the Rising Sun," and an impassioned run through of Merle Travis' "Dark As a Dungeon."

Blender (Magazine) - 4 stars out of 5 -- "Parton pulls off roles as wide-ranging as penniless bluegrass mother and a disco-pop prostitute with interpretive skills as sharp and specific as her songwriting."

Best known as one of the most beloved singers in country music, Dolly Parton is also a successful screen actress. Her greatest talent, songwriting, may also be her least heralded: Parton has penned numerous classics, among them "Coat of Many Colors," "Kentucky Gambler," "9 to 5," and "I Will Always Love You." Her first hits came in the 1960s via her duets with Porter Wagoner, but on her own she skyrocketed to fame with an angelic voice, potent songs, and a style that distinctively mixed folk, country, pop, and bluegrass.
