"The Best of Dolly Parton" is a compilation album by Dolly Parton, released in November 1970.

Album Information

Featuring much of her early RCA material, the compilation album included the biggest hit she'd had to that point, her cover of Jimmie Rodgers' "Mule Skinner Blues", which peaked at #3 on the U.S. country charts in early 1970. The recording was exclusive to this album - the other tracks were previously released on other albums.

"The Best of Dolly Parton" was released just three years after Parton signed with the label and thus features several songs that were not single releases, "Down From Dover", "Gypsy Joe and Me", "Just the Way I Am", and the gospel standard "How Great Thou Art".

The album is occasionally confused with the 1975 RCA release" Best of Dolly Parton". (Sometimes the albums are differentiated by their being referred to as "Best of...Volume I" and "Best of...Volume II") and the 2007 compilation album "The Very Best of Dolly Parton".

"Mule Skinner Blues" earned Parton her first ever Grammy nomination for Best Female Country Vocal.
