Dolly got her first record contract in 1965 before the age of 20, and had been so successful that by the time 1970 rolled around, her record company released a greatest hits album.
This was (I think) her first album of wholly original songs, which helped to cement her place in country music history. It's a great collection of well written songs, that tell some really lovely stories; the way that country does best.
I own a 3 disc Greatest Hits of Dolly's stuff, so I had heard some of these before (especially the brilliant title track) but there were plenty of other good songs in this album.
