Dolly Parton

Live and Well

BY David McPhersonPublished Nov 1, 2004

Recorded live at Dollywood's Celebrity Theatre in 2002, Live and Well is Parton's first-ever concert DVD release. Amidst the glitz and glamour of Dollywood, the country crooner shows that her voice still shines brighter than the sequins on her dress. Songs covered include hits such as "9 to 5" and "Jolene," as well as a variety of interesting covers, including a bluegrass reworking of Collective Soul's "Shine," Neil Young's "After the Gold Rush" and Led Zeppelin's "Stairway to Heaven." Live and Well confirms that musically and physically Parton is just that; as this country crooner approaches 60, she is still as energetic and youthful as ever.
