In The Good Old Days When Times Were Bad: Good Old Songs From Dolly Parton

From Bluesnet Radio | Part of the Bluesnet Radio Special Presentation series | 59:00

one hour of classic Dolly Parton songs that you don't hear much these days

Inthegoodold_small a Special Presentation from Bluesnet Radio:
It seems like Dolly Parton is everywhere these days, but the songs on which she built her career - - many of which appeared on the country charts for years - - don't get played on country radio these days, and she doesn't sing them when she's on TV now. This special presentation from Bluesnet Radio is an hour of some of those songs, songs that offered country humor, rural wisdom, social commentary, a little melodrama, and a dose of good old-fashioned doom and gloom. Included are touching autobiographical songs like "In The Good Old Days (When Times Were Bad)," songs that conjure thoughts of the lives of others, like "Daddy's Moonshine Still," a wild duet with her singing partner Porter Wagoner,  and tragi-comic songs like "I Don't Want To Throw Rice." What does she want to throw instead?? Find out, in this one-hour program "In The Good Old Days (When Times Were Bad) - Good Old Songs From Dolly Parton," classic recordings by a truly unique artist, including her very first record at age 13, offered with informative, but light and brief, commentary.
