{"product_id":"early_dolly","title":"Early Dolly","description":"\u003cp\u003eEarly Dolly is an eight-track archival collection of Dolly Parton’s earliest known commercial recordings, made before her breakthrough at Monument Records and released in 2026. Rather than a conventional studio album from Parton’s established career, it documents a teenage singer still finding her recorded voice in the late 1950s and early 1960s. The program includes “Puppy Love,” “Girl Left Alone,” “It Wasn’t God Who Made Honky Tonk Angels,” “Makin’ Believe,” “Letter to Heaven,” “Release Me (And Let Me Love Again),” “Two Little Orphans,” and “Little Blossoms.”\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMusically, the record is rooted in the country, gospel, and honky-tonk repertoire that shaped Parton before she became a songwriter and mainstream country star. Her versions of standards such as “It Wasn’t God Who Made Honky Tonk Angels” and “Makin’ Believe” reveal early affinities with classic female country vocalists, while “Letter to Heaven” and “Two Little Orphans” point to the faith and family-centered storytelling that would remain central to her later work. Early Dolly is therefore best heard as a historical document: a brief, intimate glimpse of the voice, emotional directness, and traditional influences that preceded Hello, I’m Dolly and her rise to national recognition.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Record Store","offers":[{"title":"Vinyl \/ Album - Coloured Vinyl","offer_id":53964569968954,"sku":"39853","price":46.99,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/2041\/0682\/files\/Screenshot_2026-08-26_at_3.37.29_PM.jpeg?v=1787773156","url":"https:\/\/recordstore.ca\/products\/early_dolly","provider":"Record Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
