Pure honest no-bullshit music, my soul is restored.

Whitney was amazing for many things, including her ability to take generic material and turn it into something spectacular. But this was one time Whitney got a song deserving of her amazing talent. (On a similar note, never ask me who I like better singing it. It's Sophie's Choice and I won't do it. Nope. I'll tell you I prefer Dolly's 1982 recording to her 1974 recording for her more powerful and emotionally charged vocal tho.) That isn't the only song she wrote tho. Far from it, she's written over 3,000 songs. Her solo studio albums pre- and post-pop crossover days are mostly made of her own compositions.

Just When I Needed You Most. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fXuo7nk7tQ4 She is not a perfect singer and definitely not the definition of a great singer these days - a big loud voice. But her voice just has such sweet tone and she just has...something. (sidenote: It's sad that different types of voices aren't as appreciated now). She is a storyteller. I just find her inspiring as a person overall because she started with nothing and against many odds became successful.

Her bluegrass albums do a fantastic job of showing off her abilities to whisper, wail, belt, talk-sing, etc, as well as showing off her abilities to not only write amazing songs, but interpret other people's songs so you think she wrote them herself. Little Sparrow is probably my favorite Dolly album ever.
