Guide Review - Dolly Parton - Those Were The Days
Along with original artists helping Dolly out, some of Nashville's finest step up to the plate as well. Joe Nichols lends his distinctive voice to the duet song "If I Were A Carpenter." Mary Hopkin, Porter Wagoner and the Opry Gang join in for a fun rendition of "Those Were The Days." These are two of my favorite songs on this album. Nickel Creek is a very talented young bluegrass band and they do a great job with helping Dolly cover "Blowing in the Wind." With many country artists choosing to cover the standards catalog of music for a new musical direction, Dolly chose to cover some popular soft rock songs of the 'make love not war' era. The fact that she invited various artists to participate just adds to that concept of peace, love and friendship. This is an excellent album, and one that will be a frequently listened to addition to any music collection.
