New Jewel photos by Philip Macias - More pics with Dolly, too!

Yeah, she's never been one to hide it.  Plus, she wrote and performed her own stuff at a time when it wasn't popular...especially, in the country genre.  I like some of her stuff.  Some of it,

Dolly covered one of my favorite songs of all time: Tie a Yellow Ribbon 'Round the Ole Oak Tree.



I remember singing that song in elementary school and I started bawling mid-song!   I thought it was about a veteran returning home, though, and when I finally heard the whole song as an adult, I realized it was about a man returning home from prison. Either way, beautiful song.  I was, however, always perturbed that it was always performed as a perky little diddy, whereas I have always heard it in my head as a dirge.  Oh well!

I think that is the exact reason I appreciate what Jewel did with Sweet & Wild - like Mr. Joe and I were going back and orth about yesterday.  It gave the option for radio and us acoustic freaks.

Both my Dad and Nana, listened to some country.  My dad was a huge Johnny Cash fan.  Me, not so much.  But, they both listened to Dolly and Kenny Rogers.  So, some of it reminds me more of good times with them then me actualy liking it.  I was surprised when I realized how much country I like.  Most of it is pop country or crossover.  Love me some Patsy Cline, though.     And Lady A  with Stevie - when they did that Crossroads thing

Did she really get implants?  I thought she didn't...

Don't feel bad Jess... I thought she always looked like that too... lol 

My dad was a huge Johnny Cash fan.

Same! I really liked Johnny Cash. LOVED the soundtrack from Walk the Line too... Joaquin Phoenix and Reese Witherspoon did all their own singing and I thought they were awesome.

little diddy

The word you're looking for is "ditty". Diddy is that douchebag who changes his name once a month or something.
