On May 2, 1983, Dolly Parton released her twelfth solo studio album Burlap and Satin. Blending country roots with pop influences, the album showed Dolly’s continued effort to cross over into the mainstream while staying true to her storytelling style.
Burlap and Satin reached number 127 on the US Billboard 200 and performed much better on the Country Albums chart where it climbed to number five. The album featured songs that highlighted both the simple and glamorous sides of Dolly’s public image and musical identity.
Fun fact: One of the tracks on Burlap and Satin, a re recorded version of I Will Always Love You, was later famously covered by Whitney Houston in the 1990s.
