Reviews

This album has a powerful concept. It couples a top artist, Dottie West, singing songs associated with an artist who is both legendary and currently hot, Eddy Arnold. The tunes bring back memories: “Anytime,” “Make the World Go Away” and recent hits such as “They Don’t Make Love Like They Used To.” Top production. Package is must merchandise.
Dottie West Dottie West pays tribute to the “Tennessee Plowboy” with a set filled with exceptionally fine songs, all of which deserve to be heard again and again. Dottie’s soulful renditions on this modern Nashville sounding set should find many takers. Included are “Anytime,” “I’ll Hold You In My Heart,” “It Makes No Difference Now” and “Cattle Call.”

Liner Notes

One Phenomenal Talent Pays Tribute
to Another Towering Talent When—DOTTIE SINGS EDDY

Somebody asked the other day, “How long do you have to be a record producer before you instinctively know when you’ve cut an absolutely hit album?” I told him. “I have no idea. I’ve been a producer for a long time and it hasn’t happened to me yet!” Then, the very next day when we finished DOTTIE SINGS EDDY, I asked Chet Atkins if he had the same feelings I did—a sort of hunch that this time we had a sure thing, a real winner. Both of us agreed the session had been very successful. What a girl this Dottie West, and what a magic combination of singer and songs. Dottie traces the span of Eddy Arnold’s remarkable career all the way from Eddy’s early days—remember Cattle Call and I’ll Hold You in My Heart (Till I Can Hold You in My Arms)?—to these very current years when Eddy’s popularity has doubled, tripled and quadrupled with virtually every new record, including the likes of Make the World Go Away, The Last Word in Lonesome Is Me and They Don’t Make Love Like They Used To. When DOTTIE SINGS EDDY, it’s one phenomenal talent paying the most genuine kind of tribute to another of the towering talents of our time. This album is a landmark kind of experience for me, the fellow who was fortunate enough to serve as delightful Dottie’s producer, and it’s a listening experience you’ll want to enjoy again and again.
