8 -> 9. Great playing by the band, and her voice is awesome. I'm in the 'never really cared much for the original' camp, but this cover is tasty.

I never really cared much for this song, but Ms. Parton lends something to it that makes it likeable for me. It goes on too long, though - if she'd kept it short and sweet, it'd be easier to handle repeated listenings.

Actually, I thought this the theme of this song (and its chorus) are perfect for her and this genre. I thought it translated well.

Both this album and The Grass Is Blue are wonderful albums! She is in top form and with some of the greatest musicians in the world! {#Umbrella}

Seems like an attempt to be "relevant", from someone who doesn't need to.

I agree with everything except for the Johnny Cash part, I don't think Cash ever sold out and his remakes were better than the original in most cases. This one does not do it for me either.

Dolly is an underrated gem. Perfectly well-suited bluegrass voice. And, believe me I can reach bluegrass overload but she is true Americana and not in a kitschy way.

Quite. There's eclectic, there's cheesy, and then there's cheesily lachrymose C&W and that's what this is. This is like eating Stinking Bishop holding an onion under your nose.

It's got a good beat — I could dance to it.... (for those old enough to remember American Bandstand)
