Dolly Parton 9 To 5 And Odd Jobs CD - Import

Digitally remastered by Elliott Federman (SAJE Sound, New York, New York).

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."

Import only digitally remastered reissue of the Country icon's hit 1980 album. No matter what style of music one listens to, almost every music lover has a soft spot for the talented Miss Parton and her ace songwriting skills and that voice! 9 To 5 & Odd Jobs features ten tracks including the double Grammy Award title track and cover versions of 'The House Of The Rising Son' and Woody Gutherie's 'Deportee (Plane Wreck At Los Gatos)'. Includes restored packaging and new liner notes. BMG.

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."
