Dolly Parton "Those Were The Days"

[apropos of nothing]

You must know that I grew up listening to Skinny Puppy and Crass.

But having heard a bunch of the most recent Dolly Parton album on my local college station recently, I have to tell you:

If you record music, you must listen to this album. This is the way music should sound.

Its an album of '60s covers.

I just can't believe how awesome it is. The vocals are perfect in every way. The instruments are traditional bluegrass, though the arrangements are more spare and country-like than y'r average banjo-honking.

But the recording is sooooo lovely. Its so upfront and unfiltered and pure-sounding.

Give it a listen! You will not be disappointed. [/b]

I heard that the other morning at a cafe during brunch and it sounded cool... i didn't much care for some of the more modern sounding tracks (maybe it was a changer) but the super trad stuff was AMAZING sounding.

I gotta check it out more in depth.
