Details Lead Performance: Dolly Parton; Genre: Country

Parton's first all-bluegrass album makes a fitting follow-up to last year's soulful Hungry Again, with Parton searching her roots for inspired writing and enlivened covers. Surrounded by an A team of accompanists and singers (Sam Bush, Alison Krauss, Patty Loveless), she holds her own as a pure mountain talent. B+
