Reviews

Miss West’s simplicity and gentleness is just right for her latest collection of songs, many of which she penned herself. Borrowing from contemporary repertoire, she interprets Connie Smith’s “I Never Once Stopped Loving You,” Liz Anderson’s “Rocky Top” her own “Cold Hand of Fate” and the title song.
Dottie West is a bright, shining star on the country horizon. Her voice, crisp and clear, is a delight to listeners the world over. “Forever Yours,” “I Never Once Stopped Loving You,” “Cancel Tomorrow,” “The Cold Hand Of Fate,” and “Raindrops Keep Fallin’ On My Head,” are only five of the beautifully done tracks on this new album.

Liner Notes

A Note from the Heart of. . .Dottie West
A Stranger is just a—
So, Dear Friend. . .

Maybe I’ve had the privilege of singing my songs to you in your town, an possibly we’ve shaken hands backstage— or maybe we’re only acquainted thru my recordings, whichever it may be, I must tell you I appreciate and value your friendship and I remember you often. Wishes, dreams and desires are life’s occupation and I thank you for your part in making mine come true and for making my work a genuine pleasure. I live to sing, love to sing for you, and my songs will be. . .

Forever Yours
Dottie West


P.S. May Gob bless and keep you till we meet again. for you is Dottie at her most delightful.
