More Info:
Four classic Dottie West albums recorded between 1971 and 1973. Appearing on CD for the first time. 'Careless Hands' (1971) displayed the singer as a vocalist well-attuned to the Nashville sound. Produced by Jerry Bradley, it comprised mainly of covers of country/pop standards such as 'Rose Garden', 'Help Me Make It Through The Night', 'Release Me (And Let Me Love Again)', 'Snowbird' and 'I'm So Lonesome I Could Cry'. Jerry Bradley continued the mix of covers and new songs for the singer's next two albums; 'Have You Heard' features 'Me And Bobby McGee' and 'Dream Baby (How Long Must I Dream)', while 'I'm Only A Woman' included the two pop standards 'Are You Lonesome Tonight' and the Buck Owens' classic 'Together Again'. 'Country Sunshine' brought a change of producer in Billy Davis. The title track secured international attention when featured in Coca Cola promotions, the album presented a more diverse selection of songs including The Eagles' 'Desperado', Janis Ian's 'Jesse' and 'My Love' by Paul McCartney's Wings. Possessing one of the finest voices in country music, Dottie West enjoyed acclaim from industry peers and the public alike. In a career that could be likened to a country song, Dottie West enjoyed success but also experienced poverty and tragedy in her life. She was born 11th October 1932 and died following a motor accident on 4th September 1991 aged just 58. She was inducted into the Country Music Hall of Fame in 2018.
