Dolly isn't a legend... she is _THE_ Legend. She can do anything and make it pure joy.

Dolly is the closest thing on earth to an angel she can do what she wants

Thanks Grady for all the great music❤️

Dolly got Steve Perry to sing with her on Open Arms. The whole thing is worth it to me just for that.

FINALLY, so excited to hear you talkin about Josiah. I’ve been so so into everything he’s doing. I’m seeing him live in March and I couldn’t be more excited! ✨💫

you should definitely talk about the treaty oak revival album. it was phenomenal

Generic angry comment about song you didn’t review

heard "basic channels" a couple months ago on spotify's recs & got obsessed. i had no clue "ghost" was a justin bieber song till now; josiah delivers it like it's his own & his cover is so sparse and rich at the same time. i did listen to the JB original after this, and i like it too... but i think the cover makes it better. i love seeing country artists make smart choices with the songs they cover. luke combs caught lightning in a bottle, obviously (and good for him!), but this "ghost" cover kinda blew my mind.

The closing totally cracked me up 😂😂 Goodnight, love you, byyyyeee!

I've been listening dolly's version of "every breath you take" for the past 10 days over and over again. She said that she wouldn't do a rock album if it wasn't for the rock of fame nomination, but i think it was a good idea anyway.

You made me laugh out loud when you were talking about Ernest's fusion style!!! Love it. And you just might have koined a new music sub-genre!

I listened through the entire Rockstar album. Purple Rain did catch my attention, and I looped this song for dozens of times of a day for the past two weeks.

Just so you know, Hurricane is a Levon Helm song and the Castellows absolutely nail it!

Are you planning on covering Weathervanes by Jason Isbell any time soon?

Thanks for your recommendations I always enjoy your videos and I find new talent to add to my Spotify and that's a big help! ♥

It’s been inspiring to see Dolly soar to mainstream success, but be open to change and exploration as an artist. I am loving this, and it follows the creative journey she got on (imo) when she recorded Stairway to Heaven in 2002. Also, to see an older women still engaging, evolving and creating - especially her being a woman from Appalachia. Inspiring doesn’t begin to describe my feelings.

Lauren Watkins is phenomenal. Heartbreak is a great album. Josiah & the Bonnevills sounds really good. They have a very folksy sound... I gotta check out Motel Maydey for sure

Endurance has been on constant repeat for me I can't get enough of it. Holy Place and Blood Moon are my for sure standouts but the entire project top to bottom is incredible.

YEEES. My playlist needed Josiah. Thank you.

Any thoughts on Midland's cover of "Wichita Lineman". 😅 Been a while since we've had new Midland.

You were filming this at 2:30 in the morning and that’s when I watched it 😂.

Ernest has rhe best bridges/refrains in the game in my opinion, the bridge on did it with you is next level, kiss of death is the same, truly, just one of the best out there

I’m glad you said it. Just saying.

I know its a trend that some people hate, but for the merch store you should have a trucker hat or something of the like. Love your stuff and I keep coming back for more because I don't have the time to deep dive and find all these great up and coming, or out of the way artists.

I don’t normally listen to Brad Paisley. But I like the stripped down, more authentic sound and focusing on a more substantive topic - although the vocals still sound a bit processed. He also has a track with Dan Tyminski and Jerry Douglas. Wow!

I actually really like this style of video, where you just talk about random songs or albums or whatever. Very watchable. Seriously, though, you need to cover Andrew Montana...Foundry is incredible, and so is Jimmy Carter.

“I’ve got plates for Purple Gas”

I admit I was pretty worried about Dolly's album but i think for the most part it works

I love how you ended it with "that's what I do." 😂 You're right; we can't unhear it!

I take your point Grady but I really don't see a single dose vaccine and highly addictive opioids as comparable. 😆

Was hoping to hear something about The Cadillac Three's album The Years Go Fast. Been listening to this record for weeks. Very well rounded record with TC3 really playing into their trademark sound they are known for in regards to the more southern rock style mixed with moments of acoustic realism in Pistols on the Levee and This Town Is A Ghost as well as some life reflection. Those two songs previously mentioned had a lot of personal ties to Jaren Johnston with his father's passing and just creates a much more real sense of authenticity that is brilliant and admirable. The first single from the album Hillbilly featuring Elvie Shane, Ketch Secor really makes you stop and think. It's a hard rocking anthem but it ties into real topics of addiction and in a way depression. I could go on and on about these songs. Every song on this album has Jaren Johnston on it as a writer and Neil Mason also co-wrote songs. The best part of country music is the authenticity of music. When artists write their own music I said it before it is authentic, real, and creates a much better listening experience. A lot of the things from this album I can relate to on a personal level. Whether it be this town is a ghost, or hillbilly, or the torch. I highly recommend giving this record a listen!

It's a law of nature. One cannot physically hate Dolly. It's impossible.

Also … she’s probably having a bit of fun! I love that about Dolly.

Brad Paisley didn't spend that time shilling for pharma. He spent that time shilling for the thousands of doctors and scientists working round the clock to come up with a vaccine and slow that shit down. And as an Appalachian kid, Brad's right about our community being affected by misinformation. He can't be "disrespectful" to us. He is one of us.

I'll say this, Dolly did a much better rock album than the "Rock" album 30 Seconds To Mars release this year.

Cool or Cringe? Embrace the power of 'and'!

I can’t believe he talked about Lauren Watkins and didn’t mention “Shirley Temple”🤯😂

I listened to some of my favorite rock blog review the album and they were not open minded and that really bothered me. One recurring theme is that she should have reworked the songs and turned them into country to better fit her voice. That totally defeats the purpose. I thought Dolly did a solid job with these songs and her duet with Halford - bygones - is one of my favorite rock songs this year. I didn't know Dolly wrote it. I figured it was a Priest deep track.

I love Dolly Parton's Rockstar. I bought 6 copies as Christmas gifts. This woman is a treasure and a Icon. I hope it sales a Million copies.

Give Colin Stough a listen

Lauren Watkins mention! Need a William Beckmann reaction to his 2 live tracks!

Love the video Grady!! You gotta check out Stephen Wilson Jr. I think his album son of dad is definitely something unique in the country world.

Hey Grady did I miss seeing ol Larry Fleets music in the vids or was he not on the radar? 😀 Either way thanks for the roundups man!

Dolly is a National Treasure!!! 👑

Her version of purple rain is amazing

Wow! Loved her version of whats up by 4 nonblondes

Happy to see you get to Kashus Culpepper! Dude could def have the next Oliver Anthony moment if he plays it right. He has another song called “Happy Ever After Me” that’s going be huge also. 🤙🏼

Kashus is gonna be huge man. His 1st original is such a great song

Heart of Glass is perfect for her voice. ❤

You should do a video of all the clips of do what I do lyrics

I saw the Costellos open for Tracy Lawrence, they were pretty good and solid on the banjo. They weren't better than Tracy but good opener.

Check out Dwight's version of Purple Rain, recorded just after Prince's death while he was making his Bluegrass album.

Brian Kelley has been what he is forever. He has stunk as a solo artist the entire time.

As an Judas Priest Fan I am still so so happy that Bygones exist. I don't know how or why, but it' great. Best of all possible worlds. Also the Wrecking Ball Cover is so cool and powerful imo.

Why did the ending of this video crack me up so much?

Honey, whenever Dolly passes away, her funeral is gonna make the Queen of England's look like a Tupperware party.

Lauren Watkins is like a better Megan Moroney without the simp fanbase

me at 17:14 just thinking to myself "it is what it is...and you do what you do"

Dolly Is Queen !

Grady i would love to hear your take on Finding Myself by Hayden Graber. And what your feel about how already have guys name dropping people like Zach Bryan in their music

I love Dolly's cover of "What's Up?" She knocks it out of the ballpark, and her old, wisewoman's voice fits the words. A lot of the other stuff just doesn't fit her voice or style, but more power to her. With 30 songs, there's something for everyone on the album.

Thank you for giving Dolly's Rockstar a good review.

It seems like recently when you mention Brad Paisley, it is used as an opportunity to share your own political views which unfortunately seem misinformed. Being anti-big pharma is NOT being against cutting-edge scientific research, clinical trials, vaccinations, etc. It IS being opposed to billion-dollar corporations profiting from incentivizing doctors to overprescribe drugs, as well as putting needed medication on the market at rates significantly higher than in other industrialized nations. Either way, still greatly enjoy your country music content.

Darn, still no wilder blue

There's a HUGE difference between opioids and Covid vaccines.

Lauren is amazing one of my fav artists of this year. Love her Trousdale too for pop. Josiah is amazing too. And that is coming from me - Wes K showing that even i like some pop every once in a while

Review Treaty Oak Revival's new album!

Can't believe someone else has heard the Noeline Hoffman song

"Whoa, funky immediately"

The opioid crisis has nothing to do with being pro vax or anti vax. I’m not even vaccinated and this is a horrible take

Gotta do the new treaty oak revival album

Have you reviewed Abby Anderson yet? She has interesting songwriting skills and a pretty raspy voice.

Big difference between opioids and vaccines.

Would love if you talked about Tim McGraw and his new stuff these past months.

Thank you for calling out Brad’s hypocrisy!

World on Fire slaps. I love Dolly

Grady, you doing okay?

GOTTA CHECK OUT TREATY OAKS NEW ALBUM

About 6 songs on the album really good. That being said it usually only takes one to make a album a hit. So my opinion the album rocks..! It's good

I did what I did is very different than it do what it does

Existential crisis? Power through!

Still waiting for you to review John Morgan…

Can’t skip over the Red Clay Strays??? Great video tho.

you didn’t listen to ‘Bittersweet’ by Hayden Blount ;)

You forgot Hannah Dasher

Hurricane is a Shane smith and the saints cover

🎉

Your brad paisley take was a big l

Her parents gotta be like 120 at this point

I love Dolly but this is weird for me.

Same names huh

Idk man is Brad Paisley wrong tho when he says his fanbase are prone to believe misinformation? Presumptuous, yes, but im inclined to believe him just a little bit.

Saying it's weird/hypocritical to be pro-vax (which saved countless lives) and to then make a song about the opioid crisis (which destroyed countless lives) is a really bizarre take. Being pro-vax does not automatically mean you're pro-pharma at all.

Damn Chris Stapleton features

You didn't actually have to say it. That is how saying stuff works.

Grady , let’s see you without your shirt on . Film your next video shirtless

Not whiney lmao but maybe get Nolan next time?

GRADY STOP SKIPPING KENNYS NEW SINGLE

Hurricane isn’t an original that’s a band of heathens song

People are more fans of Dolly based on more her image and brand, than her actual musical output over the years. As for me, I'm not a fan and feel her latest stuff as cringe.
