It’s as though two distinct musical universes have come together to create something beautiful when Dolly and Linda perform together. Linda’s rock edge melds flawlessly with Dolly’s rural twang. They complement one another like old friends because they have such wonderful chemistry. The environment, with all those children’s drawings adorning the walls, just heightens the mood.
Dolly’s lyrics struck a different chord with me. You can feel every word she sings when she talks about striving to climb that big, beautiful hill of hope. Every line seems to be the culmination of her years of expertise. It’s absolutely magical when Linda joins in on the chorus.
I must admit that watching Dolly perform this rock classic has me incredibly psyched for her upcoming album. We’re in for a tremendous treat if this is an indication of things to come. It demonstrates that Dolly can successfully tackle any genre.
