On this week's episode, Matt and Ryan review Dolly Parton’s late-80s album, White Limozeen. Produced by Ricky Skaggs, the 1989 record brought Dolly back to her country roots following the disappointment of 1987’s Rainbow. The album features a duet with Mac Davis, a powerful cover of Don Francisco’s "He’s Alive," and a bluegrass take on REO Speedwagon’s "Time for Me to Fly." Tune in to hear our full review!
