'HALO', DOLLY Parton six-strings us along in ''Halos & Horns''

As its title implies, Halos & Horns, Dolly Parton's latest in a string of acoustic pearls, comprises opposites: Her original subjects range from witches (''These Old Bones'') to saints (''John Daniel''), gossipy tabloids (''Shattered Image'') to pastoral wonders (''Sugar Hill''); the covers veer wildly from Bread (''If'') to Zeppelin (''Stairway to Heaven''). She pulls it off, magnificently, thanks to her spectacular trill of a soprano and earnest approach, including gospel singers and bluegrass' finest.
