What Has Rock And Roll Ever Done For You

Instead, Dolly has opted for a generic album full of badly produced cover songs. I'm not sure why, she certainly doesn't need the money.

or the two great Americana albums Tanya Tucker has done with Brandi and Shooter Jennings even the new one Shooter's mom Jessi Colter just did with Margo Price. Dolly should have pared the album down to a single disc. The one with Stevie would be one of the first to go.
