Parton moved to Columbia in the late 80s and started paying more attention to her recordings, the best of which is this album. It's produced by
Ricky Skaggs, who brought in such fast-picking cronies as
Bela Fleck and
Jerry Douglas and used more of
Parton's own songs than usual. The result is an unusual consistency and a musical revitalization for the singer.
