From the timeless gospel classic “How Great Thou Art” to “Daddy Was An Old Time Preacher Man,” a personal tribute she wrote for her grandfather, Dolly Parton’s devotion to faith and family shine throughout this potent collection of songs. Parton’s considerable talent as a songwriter informs such gems as “Master’s Hand,” “The Golden Streets of Glory,” and “God’s Coloring Book.” There’s an understated charm to the no-frills production that places the spotlight on Parton’s distinctive vocals. In an ever-changing world, where everyone is bombarded daily with worisome headlines, these songs of hope and inspiration offer a welcome haven from the storms of life.
The ten songs of Golden Streets of Glory now provide the foundation for a new collection, LETTER TO HEAVEN: SONGS OF FAITH AND INSPIRATION, whose 17 tracks focus on Dolly’s most important spiritual recordings of the early 1970s. With a brand new liner notes essay written by Billboard magazine’s Deborah Evans Price.

I love to hear you sing country or songs of Faith..
All your songs are wonderful. My grandmother was a singer in church. And when I was a little girl I used to sit beside her and sing. My grandpa was a Preacher like the old days. He could sure preach fire and brimstone so hot you could almost feel it were you set. Now I sing in church, and I will always remember my times with grandma and her beautiful voice. She is singing with the angels in heaven now. So, keep using your gift for good. God Bless you from one Dollie to another Dolly.
I love all of your songs ! I really did enjoy the Dixie Stampede last Friday March 12, 2010. That was my first time there. My Son in Law and Daughter took me and my husband there for an early Anniversary. We will be married 37 years April 27, 2010. I still haven't figured out the girl in the three barrels. How she move from one barrel to another. I love every bite of it. The workers where all so nice. I like the eating and relaxing while we did eat. Awesome ! Love you Dolly !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
