Reviews

Miss West’s uncomplicated vocal style is given a similar setting by producer Jerry Bradley and the result is an LP that has class written all over it. Among the highlights are her recent chart single “Six Weeks Every Summer,” her current release “You’re The Other Half of Me,” “Once You Were Mine,” and a very commercial revival of the Roy Orbison hit “Dream Baby.”
Dottie has one of the best MOR voices in Nashville. She does a fine job on “No Love at All” and “Put Your Hand in the Hand”. Big orchestra backs Dottie with that now famous Nashville string sound. LP contains “Six Weeks Every Summer”, which was her last single.

Liner Notes

Treat Yourself to the Magic
of Dottie West.
HAVE YOU HEARD—Dottie WEST??
I have.

The past few years have found me working with her as a member of her band, The Heartaches—which makes me a very fortunate fella. I get to hear Dottie do her special “Thing—AND I get paid for it! Now I don’t expect you to have it that lucky, but you can improve your lot in life by taking this album home and treating yourself to the warm sounds of Dottie West. She has that certain magic that only the legendary have, so you can really make hearing Dottie a lifelong treat. Yes, Dottie is a country girl. Sophistication occasionally going barefoot. Apple pie set to music and love’s first kiss all in one delightful package. So, join the “in” crowd of all those who can answer the question: “Have You Heard Dottie West?” with a happy smile and a most emphatic “Yes”!!!
