Diamonds & Rhinestones: The Greatest Hits Collection is an extensive 2LP Dolly Parton anthology, released on November 18, 2022. Featuring 23 essential recordings spanning 1971 to 2020, the collection brings together material from different labels and eras of Dolly's remarkable career on one album.

The track selection contains many of the songs that made Dolly Parton one of country music's most recognisable artists and songwriters. Essential classics Jolene, 9 To 5, I Will Always Love You, Here You Come Again and Coat Of Many Colors are joined by favourites including My Tennessee Mountain Home, The Bargain Store, Love Is Like A Butterfly, Heartbreaker and Two Doors Down.

Several celebrated collaborations are featured as well. Kenny Rogers joins Dolly on both Islands In The Stream and Real Love, while Silver Threads And Golden Needles features fellow country legends Loretta Lynn and Tammy Wynette. The collection concludes with Faith, Dolly's 2020 collaboration with Swedish electronic duo Galantis featuring Mr. Probz.

Her film-related recordings are also represented by 9 To 5, Tennessee Homesick Blues from Rhinestone and Red Shoes from Dumplin'. The inclusion of When Life Is Good Again takes the collection right up to 2020, making this a genuinely wide-ranging overview of her recording career.

The collection also includes new liner notes by Robert K. Oermann, who collaborated with Dolly on her 2020 book Dolly Parton, Songteller: My Life in Lyrics.

The standard vinyl edition comes on two black records, with the European edition carrying EAN 0194399779910.

An excellent collection for fans of Dolly Parton, classic country, Nashville, country-pop and American singer-songwriters.
