Last week Dolly Parton released her latest single "Together You and I", which is the lead single from her upcoming album "Better Day". Together You and I is a modern day remake of a duet Dolly did with Porter Wagoner in their 1970s album "Porter 'n' Dolly". In the new version, Dolly has rewritten the tune and performed it solo.
The new tune is actually very catchy, and fits in with most Country-Pop music of today. It's one of the more well-written tunes that I've heard recently, and is even an improvement over some of the pieces from Parton's last album "Backwoods Barbie". The words are still the same as they were in the 1970s version, and overall the lyrics are very good.
Parton's performance of the song was very good. Dolly's voice has aged very well, but in this track her age shows in several points. Other than that, her technique and dynamic is excellent.
Together You and I is a very good track, and may help bring Dolly back into the top 40.
