The Dottie West Archives launches today, but this is a project that will continue to evolve for a long time to come. You will already find tons of photos and information to enjoy!

In commemorative of the 30th anniversary of Dottie’s passing, after a long wait, I’m pleased to announce that the Dottie West Museum page has finally been launched here, It showcases many of Dottie’s personal wear from her famous Bob Mackie outfits to her Gingham dresses, to her Cowboy boots and other items. 

Best selling author Ellis Nassour of the definitive book “Honky Tonk Angel: The Intimate Story of Patsy Cline” in which Dottie did a Forward for, has created a special, informative tribute page to Dottie on his website here in honor of the anniversary of Dottie’s passing. Check out his Dottie page here.

The star studded fourth annual Dottie West Birthday Bash hosted by country music legend and close friend to Dottie, Jeannie Seely was slated for October 14th at 3rd & Lindsley in Nashville has been rescheduled due to the ongoing Covid-19 pandemic to October 13, 2021. The event, which has supported the Nashville Musicians Association with 100% of all money going to the Musician’s Emergency Relief Fund, has proved hugely successful and raises thousands of dollars each year and is a great way to honour Dottie.

Twenty-nine years years ago today (September 4), we lost Dottie West. Dottie loved life passionately, and she loved people, and she displayed a special gift  for friendship.  Within the realm of country music, she was an innovator.  In many ways, she was ahead of her time, as she  advanced the role of the female singer/songwriter/entertainer in her field. However, she continues to live on through her music and now through this website as well. This site, which I launch today, is my token of eternal gratitude to her, a celebration of all of the joy she continues to give us!  May she forever be honored. “Believe in the Country Sunshine,” folks! The Dottie West Archives website will launch shortly; with the museum page launching later in the month!

For the time being, feel free to explore this website, enjoy the music and video clips I have provided and let us know what you think of this site.

Wrasse Records have released a new Dottie West 2 disc CD compilation called, “The Cream of the EMI Years”, fifty songs from her United Artists/Liberty albums period of  1977 to 1983. The only disappoint is, Dottie’s photo does not appear on the cover, just her name * album title. Buy the CD here.

Sad to announce the death of Kenny Rogers, who passed away on March 20, 2020. Dottie and Kenny are back  “Together Again”, with that title being their final hit single back in 1984. They are probably singing in the angel band now or soon will be. Kenny said upon Dottie’s passing in 1991, “Boy could she sing..more than anyone I ever met, she felt her music and what a partner, unflinching, no matter what happened, she was always there for me and I loved that about her. I will miss her and I will miss her music from the bottom of my heart”.

Sony Music has finally started reissuing Dottie’s RCA albums, plus her latre albums as a digital release for the first time ever, so far they have issued eleven albums which include: “Sings” (1965), “Here Comes My Baby” (1965), “Suffer Time” (1966), “With All My Heart and Soul” (1967), “I’ll Help You Forget Her” (1967), “Sings Sacred Ballads” (1967), “What I’m Cut Out to Be” (1968), “Country Girl” (1968), “Feminine Fancy” (1968) “Dottie West & Don Gibson” (1969) and “Dottie Sings Eddy” (1969.) This leaves them with 17 more RCA albums remaining unavailable for download at this time.

Dottie’s complete United Artists / Liberty catalogue of albums have been digitally released accept for her 1984’s “The Best of Dottie West.” All the others available are: “When It’s Just You And Me” (1977), “Dottie” (1978), her duet albums with Kenny Rogers “Every Time Two Fools Collide” (1978) and “Classics” (1979).

More good news. For those who are unaware,  England’s Vocalion label have remastered from the original analogue tapes, Dottie’s RCA albums “House of Love” (1974)  and “If it’s All Right with You/Just What I’ve Been Looking For” (1973) as a 2on1 CD.

Finally, after years of petitions from fans and the public and celebrities themselves claiming she should be in the Hall of Fame, Dottie West was finally announced as one of three new inductees into Country Music’s Hall of Fame. Nearly three decades after her passing on March 27 revealed by  Garth Brooks and Trisha Yearwood. Upon learning the news, friend and singing partner Kenny Rogers stated: “What amazing news this morning to hear that my friend…the late, (very) great Dottie West…will be inducted into the Country Music Hall of Fame this year. You did it, Dottie! I knew you would’.” Dottie was officially inducted on October 23. Her  three children Kerry, Shelly and Dale accepting the award on their mother’s part during the ceremonies.
