About
Dolly Parton’s music has often told truths, sometimes deeply personal, about American realities usually swept under the rug. You might not call it protest music, exactly — she doesn’t — but Parton continues her singular approach on <i>Those Were the Days</i>, the latest in her extraordinary run of albums for the bluegrass label Sugar Hill. She’s already tackled Woody Guthrie on her <i>9 to 5</i> album. Here she concentrates on an idiosyncratic set of ’60s and ’70s numbers. Not all of these are political songs, but the artist fits them into a musical and social context that’s bigger than movie-ready clichés; thank the unstoppably soulful side of her persona, if nothing else. Her cover of Cat Stevens’ “Where Do the Children Play” is filled with a soulful bitterness, while the idiosyncratic beauty of her “Me and Bobby McGee” makes you forget, momentarily, that the song was known far and wide before she took hold of it.
