My "11" is next... I swear to god my fav never wins...

[Davian 44,859]

I prefer the collab between Dolly and Kesha personally

 

[Chromatica 7,030]

And here I thought the Kesha stans were going to deliver this one a safe top ten spot. 

There are a few tracks that I really can not believe are still here.

I'm a Kesha stan, but didn't rate the song high.

[Chromatica 7,030]

This is a really beautifully written song so I'm very excited that it's associated with Dolly.

I'm a Kesha stan, but that didn't do the song good, because of that I'm so used to their collab that I couldn't get used to the original. I liked it, but I preferred so many other amazing songs in the list

Average Score: 8.12

High Score: 11 @rumours

Low Score: 4.25 @Glamourpuss

 

Comments:

@Lois Griffin ~ “I love the collaborations between these women. It is my (unpopular) opinion that the second Trio album is a superior to the first, but nevertheless this is a highlight on the first one.  I love an inspirational Dolly Parton song.”

 

Chart Information:

U.S. Billboard Hot Country Singles: #6 (18 Weeks on Chart)

Canadian RPM Country Tracks: #8

 

Song Information:

After splitting with RCA records in 1986, Parton joined up with Linda Ronstadt and Emmylou Harris to create a largely acoustic record that was acclaimed critically and commercially. Other hits from the album include “To Know Him is to Love Him “(#1), “Telling Me Lies” (#3), and “Those Memories of You” (#5). The album (which was nominated for “Album of the Year” at the Grammy’s) was followed up by an acclaimed second album Trio II (released in 1999). Unfortunately, Ronstadt’s diagnosis with Parkinson’s Disease made a third trio album impossible.

 

Other Nominations (N) and Wins (W) Associated With The “Trio” Era:

Academy of Country Music Award (1987) – Album of the Year for “Trio” (W)

It's very upsetting that this is ranked so low.

[Glamourpuss 29,062]

I feel bad for my low rating now that I know it's @rumours's 11. 

[Davian 44,859]

Is this your all time favourite Dolly song, or is your favourite a lesser known song? @rumours

[Chromatica 7,030]

I love all of the Trio content. This was a fascinating pick for your 11, Rumours!

This is one of those songs that can be really helpful if you're feeling down. It has a nice and sincere message.

It's my favorite of this list of 25.

However, it definitely isn't my favorite overall Dolly song
