Great Balls of Fire

Dolly Parton

Moments Worth Listening For
The bluegrass-inspired banjo breakdown that unexpectedly crashes into the rock and roll rhythm of the title track
The dramatic, slowed-down vocal delivery on the cover of Help! that transforms a pop hit into a soulful plea
The shimmering synth-strings that swell during the final chorus of Star of the Show
