- A remastered edition of one of Dolly Parton's most beloved early albums, this 2007 version of MY TENNESSEE MOUNTAIN HOME (originally released in the early '70s) features both hugely improved sound and expanded liner notes. Along with the title track, favorites such as the sardonic Nashville tribute "Down On Music Row" and "In the Good Old Days (When Times Were Bad)" are among Parton's best-known tunes from that era and mark the album as essential for Dolly fans.
