Don Henley - When I Stop Dreaming ft. Dolly Parton

[@steveweiss2081]

It’s amazing to see Henley just close his eyes and listen to Dolly sing. He must have felt like it was one of the high points of his career. He once called Dolly an American treasure...I think he really meant it.

[@franksullivan1873]

They are both treasures.We are lucky to have such talented people in our lifetime.

[@williammaxwell7937]

I love this song they sound great together.

[@tristancarver734]

I saw him say that about Dolly as well.

[@buildthis99]

COuldn't agree more!

[@jcompton3947]

My favorite part was when Henley closed his eyes and Dolly sang

[@rodward8872]

Someone mentioned that they thought the lyrics weren't "eloquent" enough for Henley standards. This song was written 60 years ago by the Louvin Brothers and is a country standard. He wrote most of these songs....but not this one. And their voices are amazing and do the song so much justice. What a great collection of songs.

[@ericknebel5905]

Didn't know that, thank you.

[@hugh-johnfleming289]

Eloquence in brevity and the simple beauty of their voices.

[@rubyroe3657]

Don could make a cheesy commercial jingle sound eloquent AF!!! The best voice in music history...

[@maniogichidaa9278]

When you have been fortunate enough to be a successful musician as Mr. Henley has, you are able to take the journey of many years and enjoy the fruits of its labor. Only a handful of musicians had this dream fulfilled. Don has done it all. He has written some of the greatest songs ever and here he is doing traditional country music. Time to stop and smell the roses. Enjoy Mr. Henley and thanks for the great tunes over the years. It's been a great ride.

[@robinlages6673]

Yes he is a legend along with the only Dolly. That woman has always been timeless.

[@gerriivie610]

He is absolutely amazing

[@buildthis99]

What a good way to be reminded exactly why these two legends are still in such demand and continue to earn so much respect, decade after decade. Two vocal performances, each exceptionally good in its own right, but each complimenting and enhancing the other. They seem to put an enormous amount of themselves into this song, rendering it far more emotional and (as a result) far more believable than we ever usually get to hear in the majority of everyday popular music. I've heard in interviews that Don Henley loves the fact that Dolly was singing in a key a little higher than she might picked if given free choice, and I understand what he meant by this. There's an incredible edge in her high notes that is so beautifully expressive, I can't see how anybody could hear this and not be moved by it.

[@BurgoniN71]

This is “old country”, what a beautiful duet, beautiful voices!

[@robertwest3093]

When Don dropped this album I was not expecting this! Damn this man is easily one of the top ten musicians that ever lived. Love ya Don!

[@dwight1063]

A perfect example of two legends singing a song as one and not in competition.

[@marieasparling6717]

I agree. This song reminds us all of what the difference between what we grew up listening to, & that of what the kids of today have. Totally different. Before & even when I was born, they had music in the 70s, etc... That were a mix of ballads that could put you to sleep, or could make you stop crying when nothing else could; & songs with a great beat that could easily make you want to dance, sing, laugh, & more. I find that when Garth & that generation of singers came out in 1989 & 1990, that they were the last generation of singers who could pull off what my Country King & Queen The Possum & Dolly could do.

[@crtune]

I heard Billy Joel interview Don Henley in NYC, and they spoke about this tune, its recording and the album. Don Henley was very impressive, and had what I would say are profound ideas, and a very interesting personal history, as well as also being remarkably funny in his own unique way. How many of us know that Don Henley started in his young music world by playing in a Dixieland Band? For this video Dolly Parton had to leave hospital where she was fighting illness (she has since recovered), and when she got this all nailed down she went back to hospital. She was kind enough to put a solid day of hard work in on this tune's video. Don Henley has a remarkably eclectic and deep relationship with music which includes music going back int the 1950's and from many parts of the music world.

[@DeeHolla911]

Dolly was pushing her range- and WOW, nailed it.

[@FallacyAsPraxis]

She is amazing.

[@buildthis99]

The second half of that 2nd verse where she does this - it's an incredible passage in the song - and I believe it's the best I've ever heard her sound. These are words I wouldn't use lightly. But you have to credit Mr Henley with making a superb song choice there. He knew how well that would suit her, and how well it would suit both of them.

[@Suusie823]

When he looks at her at the end? So sweet. Flawless. I have had a decades long love for Don Henley. It ain't gonna change any time soon either.

[@gerriivie610]

I agree, he is easy to love

[@joanjett8814]

Did not see this coming ... these two actually did an amazing job together... it has the old school country vibe ...

[@irenaholc3990]

Absolutely amazing... we need more of this, real music from real, gifted amazing musicians.

[@kcheylin9957]

Two masters of pitch and phrasing, both still in top form. Impossible to imagine anyone better at perfectly complimenting vocals than Dolly Parton. Perhaps underrated for all of her contributions to other vocalists' work, she's the picture of grace for letting someone else get the spotlight. And Henley, an uncommonly epic vocalist himself, gives Dolly her due as well. PERFECT work all the way around; vocals, production, etc.

[@tonykismatali7646]

That was a great duo right there. I really respect your talent and Dolly's and you have a great mind to put words to paper that has deep meaning and heartfelt that I for one as a once divorced guy can empathize with you and with others and my poor first wife who was a 7th fleet sailors wife that got the bad side of marriage from me.

[@ciarraibuzz]

Saw Henley interview at 92nd St. YMCA and this song/video with Dolly Parton was spoken about and it was, I thought, going to be shown, but it wasn't which brought me here. This song and singing by the two brought tears to my eyes. That's what Dolly Parton singing can do to me. Don Henley sounds great here and the song is a great one. Just a terrific effort all around. Henley says Parton is a national treasure. She has a great voice.

[@mickymcl8359]

A classic song sung by two of the best artists who both sing and write classic songs. Amazing performance. We are indeed blessed to have them.

[@josephcastro736]

Whenever I hear Dolly hit that note.........puts a lump in my throat every time. Absolute perfection.

[@moikey50]

Saw Don ' s solo show in Toronto last year and one of his backing singers did a fantastic job filling in for Dolly. Lovely song

[@moikey50]

Was that at casino Rama. I was over on holiday from Scotland and was at that concert with my wife. Your absolutely right about the girl doing dolly’s part brilliantly.

[@joefunsmith]

I love gems like this, found as the result of rabbit hole journeys. GF and I played a couple Glenn Frey songs on Alexa. I mentioned Frey and Henley's voiced worked really well together in The Eagles. So she requested The Garden of Allah next. While it played, I went to KZbin and found Don Henley's channel (because I want the artist to get the financial benefit, not some random person posting a copy, whenever possible.) Now I'm gonna have to buy Cass Country, or at a minimum, this song.

[@NolaDeb]

This song is a HIT!!! Beautiful song. Beautiful harmonizing. Great work, I LOVE it!

[@marieasparling6717]

I agree with you. It should be put into the Hall of Fame as 1 of the greatest ballads, & duets, ever. :) Before I ever started school, I always said that Dolly Parton was the Queen of Country Music for me. I'm sure everybody can see why. :) Love Dolly :)

[@robinlages6673]

They are wonderful together. I forgot the Eagles always had a country vibe.

[@epicmeade]

Wow, Not only did these two greats (and don't get me wrong. I'm a huge fan of both of them) really kind of 'not do justice' to this Louvin Brothers classic. but they left out what I consider to be one of the most amazing verses in all of country music. 'I'd be like a flower unwanted in spring. alone and neglected, transplanted in vain, to a garden of sadness where my petals would fall in the shadows of undying pain'. come on Don....that's a great tearjerker line. Oh well, I'm still glad they had the respect to cover it. so just consider this the rant of a cranky old man.

[@tammyleederwhitaker649]

Love these two artists so very much. I used to go every year with my family to Seveirville, Tennessee. Right up the street from where Dolly grew up. We would stay in a themed chalet. My parents loved it. Dollywood. Last place I ever vacationed with my ex- husband. His father died while we were there. We had to leave for Mt. Pleasant Love this song.

Mr Henley, You are one of the greatest song writers. I have been a fan of yours and the Eagles most of my life.

He adores Dolly and the song is beautiful

[@doitee52]

Don was right. There was no better person than Dolly for this. Only tiny thing I would say that was needed was for Don to connect more to Dolly. She tried, but Don looked like he was concentrating on getting the technical part of singing it on the money. Other than that....all great.
