Editorial Review:
Amazon.com:
Parton's first mainstream album in 17 years appeals to all her fans without sounding insincere or compromising. The title track, a fiddle-and-piano colored two-beat that's a sympathetic bit of autobiography, belies her campy doll-like cover pose. The debut single 'Better Get to Livin'' is a page from her own upbeat canon, and when she's downhearted in the steel-guitar weeper 'The Lonesomes' and the cocktail lounge arrangement 'Made of Stone,' she draws on the influence of earlier country queens like Kitty Wells and Patsy Cline. Parton's vocal tones remain equally pure, distinctive, and captivating over grinding six-string power chords as she blasts out Fine Young Cannibal's 'Drives Me Crazy.' She's especially affecting on a faithful rendition of Smokey Robinson's 'The Tracks of My Tears.' The bottom line is that Parton's one of America's greatest enduring vocal stylists, whether she's revisiting her roots in bluegrass or making commercial hay. --Ted Drozdowski

Backwoods Barbie is a classic return to Dollys smokey mountain roots. Every song on this cd is layered with Dolly's undeniable style from the title track "Backwoods Barbie" to the smash hit "Get To Living". Dolly quickly wasted no time in mixing her witty humor in the song "Shinola", and injected Dolly flavor in the rock hit "Drives Me Crazy". There are many hidden treasures on this cd including "Cologne". Cologne takes you deep into the lonely heart of a adulterous woman, hiding her heart, emotions ... Read More

This is Dolly Parton's first true mainstream release in 17 years and also her first disc on her own label. All I can say is BRAVO !!!

This is certainly not an artist resting on her laurels. It shows why she is the Queen of Country.
There are pure country tracks, some pop country and some remakes as well. The cd gets a ... Read More

Rating:  - Disappointing
I was very disappointed with this album...I was expecting a bit more of Dolly's original 1970's style of music/vocals, but this album was like 1990's pop/rock/country. The vocals were kind of weak, and it just wasn't as good as some of the older albums.
