I would have to say this was well worth the purchase, I have been a Dolly Parton fan since I was a child. And this has some of her greatest songs. I definitely recommend it if you are as big a fan of her as I am!
August 31, 2008Love this album! Great price for some great music! My favorite song is ROMEO, it brings back alot of good childhood memories. SLOW DANCING WITH THE MOON is awesome too. This is one of Dolly's best and a must have for all fans, and even for lovers of 90's Country music!

I checked this CD out from the library as I have heard Dolly on the radio before and I like her spunk. However, I was very disappointed with this CD. Yes, many famous country stars 'appear' on this CD but most of them sing back-up and you can't tell them apart from the normal back-up singers.
In the CD notes there are quotes from famous country singers who are praising Dolly's ability and thanking their lucky stars that they get to sing with her. They appeared to me to sound disingenuous and over the top. I personally think it in poor taste to have 'testimonials' of your incredible ability on your own album. Unfortunately, the comments also lost some of their credibility because of their placement.
I also found the melodies overall to be uninspiring and boring. I found my mind wandering even as I consciously tried to listen to what she was saying.
From what I hear, Dolly is a gifted performer. Unfortunately, I don't really get that sense from this CD. Vocally she is weak on quite a few songs and I didn't hear the spunk in her voice like I have heard in the past. I recommend trying out some of her other CDs to find one that better represents her much touted writing and singing skills.
March 6, 2006Dolly's 1993 album SLOW DANCING WITH THE MOON is another album that was sorely underlooked. While it might not be as strong as WHITE LIMOZEEN, it's a beautiful album filled with great songs and top notch talent. "Romeo" is a fun take on the traditional Shakespeare play Romeo & Juliet, it joins Dolly with Billy Ray Cyrus, Mary Chapin Carpetner, Kathy Mattea, Pam Tillis and Tanya Tucker. Sadly this was the only "hit" from the album, however failed to crack the top 10, resting at #27. "Full Circle" is a nice ballad, about a long standing relationship. "(You Got Me Over) A Heartache Tonight" is a duet with Dolly & Billy Dean, a really sweet song, a favorite of mine from the album. "More Where That Came From" is a honky tonk, nice to hear Dolly tear it up on a song like this. Dolly does a rousing rendition of the upbeat "Put A Little Love In Your Heart" as well. "I'll Make Your Bed" is a nice quirky song as well. "What Will Baby Be", "Cross My Heart" and "Why Can't We" are all tender, romantic ballads. "Whenever Forever Comes" joins Dolly with Collin Raye on a duet, nice song overall, they compliment each other extremely well. The best track though is the title track, a beautiful ballad, classic Dolly Parton. The album closes with a great rendition of "High And Mighty". Overall SLOW DANCING WITH THE MOON is a beautiful album all the way through, don't overlook it, give it a listen.

I love the blend of songs in this album. You can sit and relax through many songs, but some, such as "More Where that Came From"
you can dance around with the beat. The title track, "Slow Dancing With The Moon" is so beautiful I can't describe it. I'm never tired of it.
