Porter Wagoner And Dolly Parton The Essential Porter Wagoner And Dolly Parton (2015)

RLG/Legacy collection of Porter Wagoner and Dolly Parton's 40 greatest hits contains several of their Top Ten country duets, including "The Last Thing on My Mind," "Holding On to Nothin'," "Just Someone I Used to Know," "If Teardrops Were Pennies," "Please Don't Stop Loving Me," and "Lost Forever in Your Kiss." This is an adequate compilation for anyone but the rabid collector.

"Pretty Miss Norma Jean" may be best remembered as Porter Wagoner's stage partner before he was paired with Dolly Parton, but she was also well known for an often hard-edged group of songs that spoke of poverty, hard work, and the instability of romantic relationships. Although she didn't have the songwriting creativity of Loretta Lynn or Dolly Parton, she was comparable to those stars in her general outlook. Norma Jean Beasler was no stranger to poverty herself, born into a hard-working farm family near Wellston, OK. As a child, she wanted to be a country star like Kitty Wells, whom she tried to emulate. She made her professional debut singing "If Teardrops Were Pennies" at age 12 on the radio in Oklahoma City. In high school, she toured with a few Western swing bands, including those of Billy Gray and Merle Lindsay.

Recalling an era of all-night singalongs and Sunday dinners on the ground – that old time religion, as the song says – "The Grand Old Gospel" is rare example of mainstream Nashville releases making plain the connection between the country gospel of acts such as Porter Wagoner and the Southern gospel of great quartets such as The Blackwoods.
