Reviews

Another powerful package by Dottie West. The vocalist has a style which radiates individually and warmth, and she is excellently produced by Danny Davis. Some of the fine cuts are “It’s Dawned on Me You’re Gone,” “I’m Only Human” and “Afraid of Losing You Again.”
Dottie West’s devotees should want to hear her latest album, “Country And West.” On the set, the songstress lends her talents to eleven numbers including Merle Haggard’s “Today I Started Loving You Again,” Dallas Frazier and A. L. Owens’ “(I’m So) Afraid Of Losing You Again,” Ernest Tubb and Johnny Bond’s “Tomorrow Never Comes” and Tammy Wynette’s “I Stayed Long Enough.” Should do nicely.

Liner Notes

About Dottie…

 

Artistry in any field of music, whether it be popclassicaljazz or country, is always obvious to the eyes and ears of an audience. Dottie West’s artistry is even more outstanding and more instantly obvious to her audiences than with most singers. Her warmth projects visually just as much as it does through her marvelous musical taste and ability. Being her producer for recordings I am probably more critical of what she sings than any of her listeners, and to me she is “something wonderful,” whether she’s working with another artist, like Don Gibson with whom she had such a great success, or when she’s on her own, as she is in this album. If you have never really listened closely—very closely, as I do—to Dottie, do it with this album. I’m sure you will be competing with me for position as her Number 1 Fan!
