Backwoods Barbie by Dolly Parton
Backwoods Barbie is the forty-second solo studio album by American singer-songwriter Dolly Parton. It was released on February 26, 2008, by Dolly Records. The album was Parton's first mainstream country album in nearly a decade and marked the first release on Parton's own label. Parton embarked on the Backwoods Barbie Tour with 64 dates across North America and Europe from March through November 2008 to support the album.
This compilation breezes through two decades of Dolly Parton’s career, covering her most radiant singles released between 1970 and 1989. It starts with "Joshua", a twangy, country-funk story about a small-town loner, and continues through the female-gaze classic "Why'd You Come In Here Lookin' Like That”—one of the most explosive tunes Nashville ever produced. In between are classics like "Here You Come Again", a melancholy lament for the powerlessness Dolly feels while lost in love, and foot-stomping working-girl anthems like “9 to 5”.
