"Real Love" is the 27th solo studio album by Dolly Parton. It was released on January 21, 1985, by RCA Records. The album was produced by David Malloy (best known for his work with Eddie Rabbitt), and would be Parton's last studio album for RCA Records, her label for the previous eighteen years. The album included the #1 country singles "Real Love" (a duet with Kenny Rogers that also reached #91 on the U.S. pop charts) and "Think About Love", as well as the #3 country single "Don't Call it Love" and the top twenty #17 country single "Tie Our Love (In a Double Knot)", as well as a cover of Nanci Griffith's "Once in a Very Blue Moon".
~Wikipedia
Dolly Parton's best music is genuinely timeless, spinning tales of love, home, and faith that seem at once as old as the hills and as fresh as yesterday's heartbreak. However, one spin of Real Love lands this album firmly in 1985, when it was recorded. In an apparent effort to keep up with the times, producer David Malloy built most of this album's arrangements around synthesizers and drum machines, and two decades later the results sound almost painfully dated, far more so than Parton's work of the early '70s; this is middle-of-the-road schlock that grates on the nerves. Real Love also shortchanges Parton the songwriter, who only penned four of the album's ten tracks, though "We Got Too Much," "I Can't Be True," and "I Hope You're Never Happy" display a welcome spunk most of these songs lack. Dolly herself is in fine voice here, and while she sometimes has to struggle to make herself heard through Malloy's mix, her performances are game and she offers more enthusiasm than most of the material deserves (though her debut with Kenny Rogers on the title track fails to connect). Listen to Dolly Parton's fine self-produced 1977 album New Harvest...First Gathering back to back with Real Love and the question becomes obvious: why did RCA hire David Malloy when Dolly could do a much better job by herself?
