Artists that use the same song structure...

Swamp, why would anyone laugh at Dolly's voice ?
She has a real-deal high-lonesome beautiful voice !

Swamp,

Your point is taken, but a dobro is actually just one brand of resonator guitar. Like "Kleenex", I guess that it has become synonymous with the product type and the resonator is very often considered its own instrument separate from the guitar. Depending on the day of the week (or time of the day), I might do that myself. However, in this particular post, I was including Douglass in the broader class of guitarists. I understand those who'd put him in the separate class of players, but it's essentially a semantic distinction at the end of the day. Probably a little sloppy on my part, tho.

Martykl- I should know better than to criticize someone w the good taste to recognize Mr. Douglas' skill.

Schubert- The people who laugh at Dolly do so, imo, by judging her w their eyes, not their ears. Although I will admit that when she goes too Nashville/Vegas, the whole package can be a bit over the top.

Swamp. I'm a classical guy all the way, but when I heard Dolly sing her delicate, achingly beautiful rendition of
"I will always love you" on my car radio in the 70's I had to pull over I was so teared up . A true artist period .

A funny, when Whitney Huston sold 87 million CD's of her far inferior version of Dolly's masterpiece, Dolly was on late night and I believe Letterman asked Dolly if she had
any problems with Whitney's version , Dolly replied "if I did the 2 million in royalties make me forget them "

I kind of agree with phasecorrect, although I understand others' points. I was hoping someone would not say, "all of AC-DC". (Which would be technically correct, but not what I was going for. I guess my point was from (one artists' output in consideration of their own catalog of songs). Does that make sense?
