Dolly

Because Dolly Parton has always looked more or less the same, it's easy to forget that her sound has evolved radically over four decades. This lovingly constructed four-disc box set traces her career from her years as Porter Wagoner's "girl singer" to her time atop the country charts to her recent reinvention as the torch carrier for bluegrass. And whether your holiday season is holy or trashy, there's no better voice to hear on Christmas morning. — Josh Tyrangiel
