While Spectrum Music’ “The Collection” may not be a definitive hits collection or a comprehensive overview of Dolly Parton’s recordings, it is a good sampler of hits and highlights from her mid-career country-pop work. Nearly every song here was a Top 40 country hit, with many breaking the Top Ten. These aren’t necessarily her best songs, but the hits — including “The Salt In My Tears,” “Just When I Needed You Most,” “I’ll Never Say Goodbye,” — hold up well, and help make this compilation of interest to any budget-minded casual fan looking for an affordable roundup of her late-’70s and early-’80s hits.
