Sticking with #Dolly & #NowPlaying her 1987 album, #Rainbow
Her 28th solo album, her first for #CBS, largely a pop/rock affair and sadly a bit of a flop (US Country No 18 / US No 153) tho I love the 80s production sound
#TheRiverUnbroken #IKnowYouHeart #DumpTheDude #TwoLovers there’s lots to enjoy

Continuing the #Sinatra theme by #nowplaying his 1965 retrospective #AManAndHisMusic
The double album celebrated his 50th birthday, & won the 1967 Album of the Year Grammy and featured re-recordings of his earlier songs due to licensing issues … still a fab collection

I think this is one of her most underrated singles and deserved much better success on the charts - and one of her best music videos too!
The remixes of #Erotica on this 12” #vinyl are superb too … & it still has the poster too!
