Dolly Parton — Backwoods Barbie (2008) Review

Backwoods Barbie — Album Review

Artist: Dolly Parton | Released: 2008

A self-aware, contemporary country-pop album that pairs playful personality with reflections on identity.

On Backwoods Barbie, Parton’s vocal presence remains the main attraction: she gives the material warmth and character while the arrangements reflect the musical direction of this period in her career. Its place in her discography is worth considering alongside both her traditional country recordings and her crossover work.

Louilink rating: 8.4/10
