Rediscovery.......2007-03-06

I bought this soundtrack when it came out and loved it as I do all of Dolly's releases. I watched the movie this morning and rediscovered how much I loved the film and music. There is no one else like Dolly and I think she is the only one who could've pulled off that role.

One of Dolly's best films.......2006-01-31

This is one of Dolly's funniess since 9 to 5.

I love the Soundtrack!.......2003-11-15

Dolly's soundtrack to her movie is really good... I have a copy and so does my mom... Burning to Burn and and Livin' A lie are GREAT songs! I bet there are some people out there in dead end jobs, or relationships... They sacrificed everything to keep up appearances.. She sings about the pain that Shirlee was going through...

Straight Talk is a great song! I remember when she sang that on a Bob Hope Special at Amera Flora 92. Great song full of attitude and spunk! She cuts through the BS and straight to the point.

Light of a clear blue morning is an uplifting song.. No matter how bad things get, everything will be OK... This is a great album for those with an open mind.... I like it and I hope that you will to.

Twice as good as her other CDs.......2002-03-10

I wish I could give it ten stars!
The title track is a catchy romp that captures the fun tone of the movie. Her remake of "Light Of A Clear Blue Morning" is even better than the original, building to a gospelish climax that is positively inspirational!
Never has Parton's voice been so consisently appealing. On tracks like "Dirty Job" and "Fish Out Of Water," she sells the lyrics which are high on sensitivity. At one interval in "Fish Out Of Water," Parton stops and shrieks "SAVE ME, SAVE ME." She is so convincing, you wish you could jump inside the cd and give her mouth to mouth!
Parton fares even better with the slower numbers on this soundtrack like "Blue Me," "Burning TO Burned" and "Burning." Amazingly, Dolly wrote all of the enclosed songs. Where does she find the time?

Music for Real People.......2002-02-16

STRAIGHT TALK is a soundtrack of material, all by Dolly Parton, from the movie which stars Dolly. The soundtrack, from 1992, features some excellent songs in a long line of excellent music from Dolly. Take the reworking of her 1970's song "Light of a Clear Blue Morning", the original is more gospel like and very downtempo, whereas this one is an inspirational, uplifting, uptempo version of the song, which brings a smile to my face. The songs work with the movie, from the workers anthem of "Dirty Job", to the quirky "Straight Talk" which shows her fun personality, to the honest "Living A Lie", and more. Its more than just a soundtrack for a movie, its a soundtrack for life. A lot of people (myself included) could find something to relate to in these honest, simple songs about life and loss. Its also an excellent movie, and worth seeing. If that's what it takes to convince you to listen to this soundtrack, then go see it, because this music is excellent.
