Hi Everyone! Welcome To My Next Megarate  :)

The album chosen for this megarate is Heartbreaker by Dolly Parton

0001355409.jpg

Experimenting with Adult Contemporary, Pop, Disco, and Country on this record, it was nonetheless considered heresy by the oldschool country establishment. However, it was significant in that it both made it easier for subsequent generations of country artists to crossover AND in its popularity in the LGBT underground and disco scene in the the late 70s.

It further pissed off the country establishment when she won Entertainer of the Year in 1978 at the CMA Awards after the success of this record. :firega:

Tracklist:

Spoiler

1. "I Really Got the Feeling"

2. "It's Too Late to Love Me Now"

3. "We're Through Forever ('til Tomorrow)" (with Richard Dennison)

4. "Sure Thing"

5. "With You Gone"

6. "Baby I'm Burning"

7. "Nickels and Dimes"

8. "The Man"

9. "Heartbreaker"

I've never listened to a full Dolly album before and only know Jolene, 9 to 5, Islands in the Stream and I Will Always Love You. Is this a good album to start with? And if not, what do you reccomend @Rumours1977

It's said the map of the world is on you. The moon gravitates around you. The seasons escape you.

This is definitely one of her most pop records, so I guess it just depends. If you are unsure about country in general but want to start getting into Dolly's discography, it could be a fun place to start. :)
