The Dolly Parton Rockstar Album<\/strong><\/p>\n

I almost titled this post Dolls and Dollys.<\/p>\n

So Cher was originally set to do a duet on Dolly Parton\u2019s upcoming duet album Rock Star. <\/em>Dolly has just been inducted, amidst a bit of controversy, into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and she is adhering to the great advice of Henry David Thoreau when he said, “if a dog runs at you, whistle for him.”<\/p>\n

It was rumored Cher and Dolly would be a covering the Eurythmics debut song \u201cSweet Dreams (Are Made of This),” which isn\u2019t really rocking out but okay. Maybe for Dolly it is. Unfortunately Dolly recently tweeted that Cher, along with Ed Sheeran and Lionel Richie, didn\u2019t make the final album cut \u201cdue to a vinyl manufacturing deadline.\u201d<\/p>\n

I keep wondering if this really means \u201cscheduling problems with my duet partner.\u201d<\/p>\n

Anyway, we\u2019re stuck with the Dolly duets from Cher\u2019s 1978 TV special, which are great but\u2026<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>Man\u2019s World Reissue on CD and Vinyl<\/strong><\/p>\n

This is long awaited. This great album unfortunately got lost in the mid-1990s due to all the 1990s and Cher’s own Chronic Fatigue problems that decade. I know because I even missed learning about its existence for almost a year.<\/p>\n

The snakeskin box set looks delightful. There\u2019s a hefty price of $100 for the vinyl but there are four colored albums in the box so that seems about right. Besides, this was a long album if you consider all the UK and US variations and all the remixes included in the re-release. You can also buy the re-release on CD or, if you’re a completist, both. Sigh. \"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Funko Pops<\/strong><\/p>\n

Now I don\u2019t collect Funko Pops so I\u2019ve never bought one before. But something interesting I\u2019ve learned, these little buggers don\u2019t stand up on their own. You have to buy the flat, plastic stand separately! Harrumph.<\/p>\n

Oh and if you’re a completist here, there’s the basic and Diamond Collection versions (mere dollars extra) with a diminutive amount of extra bling.<\/p>\n

Ho Ho Ho! It’s Cher Bitches<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>Cher announced this week there will be a Cher Christmas album this year! This might just be the only thing that could ever elicit a Beatle-scream from me. Fans have been hoping for a Cher Christmas album for decades. Decades! At least their pining has been officially documented all the way back to the first Cher Convention of 2000 where we added our Christmas wish-picks to a petition someone created there.<\/p>\n

Cher says the album is mostly done so there\u2019s not a lot of room for requests at this point.\u00a0 I\u2019ve been advocating “Little Altar Boy<\/a>” since that 2000 petition. But it\u2019s such an obscure Christmas song.<\/p>\n

Cher says one of the songs already recorded is one of her favorites ever. I hope she tells us what that is. My Christmas-song-obsessed self<\/a> is dying to know.<\/p>\n

A Cher Christmas album. This is gonna make everything in the world alright I\u2019m pretty sure.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
