Music reviews of Halos & Horns
Music Review: HALOS AND HORNS
Rating: 5 Stars
#1 HALOS AND HORNS- This Is A Very Nice Song good harmonies and instramintation 4.3/5
#2 SUGAR HILL- Now this song is fun with banjos and harmonicas
with funny lines like "Down in the mill pond swimming naked showing more than we should have showed" Then Halfway Through The Song Things Elevate And Has A Choir In The Background Wich Sounds Beautiful Then At The End The Song Speeds Up Pretty Fast Then Ends "Up On Sugar Hill" 5/5
#3 NOT FOR ME-This Is As Slow As It Gets although The Sound Clips Make It Sound Kind Of Boring but if you listen to the whole song it would probly change your mind about this song.
It is very beautiful and calm, it might not be your favorite but I LIKE IT 5/5
#4 HELLO GOD- This is the song that did the best on the charts, It Was not a Hit but it made it up to #60 on the country charts
Dolly Also made a music video for it from the CMA Awards in 2002.
Anyways The Song Starts Out Kind Of Quiet in The First Part Then Comes The Choir and More music. So If You Like Dollys More Recent CD FOR GOD AND COUNTRY You Would Like This One Like I Do 5/5
#5 IF -I Dont Have Much To Say About This Song, Dolly Could Have Exchanged this song for another one but its good I like the mandolin and banjo solos the most 3.6/5
#6 SHATTERD IMAGE- This Song Originaly appered on dollys ALL I CAN DO album back in 1970 or something and the updated version sounds better than ever with a new verse (The Old Version Had 3 Verse's and this one has 4 Verse's)4.3/5
#7 THESE OLD BONES- This song is very uniqe some people will like it some wont but when I listend to the song for then first time I was very suprised the other voice on here that dose not really sound like dolly. the sound clips only tell half the story
because dolly plays an old mountain woman on the chours and on a few verses. And Dolly's real voice on the rest of the verses, and on the final chorus dolly sings with her normal voice and her old mountain woman voice together, I guess you can say she dose a duet with herself. The Song is about 6 mins long and the lyrics in the booklet take up 2 pages. one her most creative songs 4.9/5
#8 WHAT A HEARTACHE- This is the third time dolly has recorded this song. It was on her rinstone album (soundtrack from the movie) Currently Unavalible, Then the next version on EAGLE WHEN SHE FLIES Album (Still Avalible in the ocasional music store)Is The Best Version, Now Its on HALOS AND HORNS and I think Dolly puts too much emotion in it And The Backgroung music sounds not very profeshional. 2.8/5
#9 IM GONE- Dolly is going to leave you with a whole bunch of stuff and you'll have alot of explaining to do (You Will Understand What I Mean If You Hear The Whole Song).
Dolly Has Made A Music Video For This Song and although it did not make it on to the charts the music video is quite funny it feartures dolly being attacked by an alien and UFO's.
If You Think The Song Sounds boring in the sound clip you will be happy to know that the song gets better as it goes on. 5/5
#10 RAVEN DOVE-Dolly Parton said that she wrote this song at about 2:00 am in the morning, Strange Huh?.This song is another song about peace and love However Her Voice sounds strained around the end of the song but if you take that out you have a beautiful song 3.7/5
#11 DAGGER THROUGH THE HEART-This Song Is Full Bluegrass No Choirs, No Drums, And No Electric Instraments. I think dollys voice is best on this song Same with the background singers.
This was the first single on the album and the first music video on the album 5/5
#12 IF ONLY-I Think this is the most sad song on the album but so beautiful and great at the same time. 5/5
#13 JOHN DANEIL-A GREAT SONG 5/5
#14 STAIRWAY TO HEAVEN- I Think This is the best cover of someone elses song in years I love it! The Sound Clips make it sound very slow and not exciting, DONT BE FOOLED LIKE I WAS!!!
Because the part you were listening to was the very begining of the song. Later on the song picks up a bit when dolly sings "OH! MAKES ME WONDER" Then comes the really nice harmonies then the drums come in and it sounds more uplifting. Dont forget the banjo solos then the song speeds up and the choir comes in and it sounds perfect! But then the magic ends when the song ends
"And She's Buying A Stairway to Heaven"
5/5 ALL THE
Overall this is a great album, its just a notch behind little sparrow and the grass is blue. And All Of The Songs Were Writen By Dolly Exept For Stairway To Heaven And If. At april 2003 Halos And Horns has sold over 230,000 copies not far from Little sparrow wich sold 270,000 copies so far. The Grass Is Blue Sold about 210,000 Copies or more.
If you choose or not choose to by this Great Album I Also Recommend LITTLE SPARROW (Avalible) THE GRASS IS BLUE (Avalible) and HUNGARY AGAIN (Used CD's may be Avalible) These Four CD's Are Dollys Best Work Yet!!!
Dolly Also Has 2 More Albums Out. One Is FOR GOD AND COUNTRY wich features Country and some bluegrass music. And the other CD is LIVE AND WELL

If Only 13. John Daniel 14. Stairway to HeavenLike many musicians profoundly moved by the events of September 11, Dolly Parton reacted to the tragedy by going inward and forging a spiritual journey through songwriting. As usual, the subjects from which she draws the greatest strength are the ones that have buoyed her throughout her career--the Deity, to whom she talks directly in the searching "Hello, God," and the mythology of the mountains, best exemplified in "These Old Bones," a fascinating piece of backwoods lore, even as Parton's impersonation of an ancient fortune teller turns grating. Yet the songs on Halos & Horns carry a subtext, too, that of the perpetual struggle between right and wrong, temptation and redemption, and heaven and hell. Longtime Parton fans will recognize that thematic tug from her earliest work, just as they will hear a return to her more primitive, pre-'80s sound. While the singer, who produced the record herself using both Nashville and East Tennessee musicians, reprises several tunes ("Shattered Image," "What a Heartache") from her catalog to give them an acoustic, bluegrassy treatment, she is not without her surprises. Chief among them: "Raven Dove," a powerful, almost biblical prophesy of a Second Coming, and a cover of Led Zeppelin's "Stairway to Heaven," which Parton slightly rewrote to give it more personal and apocalyptic verve. If the thought of that brings a smile to your face, just wait: one spin through it, and you'll be down on your knees. --Alanna Nash
