Clearly you need to listen to her cover of Emmy Lou Harris's Gram
Parsons lament, 'Boulder to Birmingham.' You are a flinty dude if
that does not move you. Regards,

but also a good cover up artist. Dolly managed to get away with stealing her hit "9 to 5" from some poor unknown artist who sent in a version to her manager. That artist could not prove, in her law suit, that Dolly actually received a copy from her manager, so the incredible similarities were conceivably just a coincidence. It helps to be rich and famous.

but I don't have a link. The concepts of the two songs were almost identical, though the specific lyrics differed. The music was quite similar. There was no disputing that the other woman sent Dolly's manager a recording before Dolly penned her version. The issue was whether the manager shared that recording with Dolly. The manager claimed he did not so do. I suppose it is possible that Dolly got word of just the basic concept and wrote her own song, but I personally thought there was too much similarity in the music for that to be the case.

Unsubstantiated slander; against board rules too. Not to mention,
unfair and probably libelous. Regards,
absolutly beautiful.

Her relatively recent back to the roots couple of albums are very good indeed.
I don't think she has to justify herself after so many years and writing such great songs.

Coat of Many Colors on Emmylou's first album, Pieces of the Sky. By the way that album credits Boulder to Birmingham to Harris/Bill Danoff.

I almost overlooked her due to her Grand Old Opry roots but bought some LPs cause of the flashy covers. Damn glad I did. And no, it wasn't the "cans" that enticed me. Ok, but just a little.
