Allow me to preface my remarks by saying I'm not much of Dolly Parton Fan. I do like some country music and most bluegrass. But if this album is a representation of Dolly's body of work, then I need to change my opinion. Her voice is pure magic. It has an angelic quality that simply mesmerizes and transports me to places I did not know existed in the human heart. The title tack, Mountain Angel,& Down from Dover are lyrically little more than typical country tales of woe. But with Dolly's voice they turn from common fair to heart wrenching ballads. You can hear the wail of anguish from the the Mountain Angel. You can feel the crushing heartbreak from the girl waiting for her beau from dover. Fortunately there is also some livelier verse on the album(otherwise you might be jumping off the nearest bridge in despair at the human condition); Shine, I Don't Believe You've Met My Baby & Marry Me, are all light hearted and just plain fun to listen to. The music is good, the recording is stunning, and Dolly is nothing short of a Goddess. This is fast becoming a reference recording for me.

I dont know why those who recommend this disc dont post a review.Dolly has got her good points,a fabulous voice and she is a tremendous song writer to add to those. Throw in some excellent musicians and top quality recordings which include a fair variety of styles and what have you got. Myself I prefer her "pure" country and tracks like Shine and I get a kick out of you are fodder compared with the rest of this album.Even though these tracks were originally rejected from earlier albums and one is a reworking of an earlier release its still great stuff.Another review mentions the balance between her powerfull voice and the backing..This may be just about true on both her sacd albums.The CD layer is also remarkable.Dave
