Mary-It was AMAZING! I've
Mary-It was AMAZING! I've been lucky enough to see her 4 times before this and this was the best one yet. She played for about 2 1/2 hours!! Such a huge variety from classics (Jolene, 9 to 5, Here You Come Again, I Will Always Love You, Coat of Many Colors, Islands in the Stream, Smoky Mountain Memories, White Limozeen (!), Tennessee Mountain Home) to covers (Walking on Sunshine, Stairway to Heaven, Help, Rocky Top) to new ones(In the Meantime, Sacrifice, Better Day, Holding Everything and a few from the new movie "Joyful Noise" due out mid-January) and a bunch of medleys! I can't even remember them all off the top of my head there were so many! There was a lot of great merchandise too but it sold out (think they underestimated how loved she is in Knoxville). I'm guessing with this being the kick off some songs will change as they fine-tune and streamline so it's not so rough on her---she put so much energy into it and dancing and moving like I've never seen her that I was exhausted just watching her! She even played the fiddle, banjo, electric and acoustic guitar, piano, dulcimer,recorder/flute instrument, harmonica AND saxophone!!! You are in for quite a treat and it's well worth the wait!

I saw the Dallas show, and it was fantastic! She looked beautiful, sang great, Little Sparrow was the stand-out for me, danced, shook her fringe and just seemed to be having a great time. Over 2 1/2 hours of pure Dolly magic. I am going to see her in Tulsa, my hometown, in October. Can't wait!!!
