Halos & Horns

Dolly Parton

A masterfully sparse return to Appalachian roots. High-lonesome bluegrass arrangements meet deep spiritual reflection and a legendary rock cover.

It's Dolly going back to the mountains with a banjo and a Zeppelin cover that actually works.

A grounded, spiritual reflection on human imperfection delivered with mountain-air clarity.

Moments Worth Waiting For
The startling transition of 'Stairway to Heaven' from a familiar rock anthem into a high-lonesome bluegrass prayer.
The gravelly, character-driven vocal performance on 'These Old Bones' where Dolly disappears into the persona of a mountain clairvoyant.
The moment the gospel choir swells during 'Hello God', grounding the album's spiritual yearning in communal warmth.
