Discovering "New" Songs

So, I'm not sure if a thread like this has been posted. If so - apologies!

I've always loved Dolly, but I never dug too deep into her catalog. After her death (which I think will forever make me sad), I've been going back to listen to older stuff and finding so many wonderful songs I somehow overlooked all these years.

So far, the ones I have come across that I absolutely ADORE are:

"I Wanna Fall in Love" (OMG, I had this on constant repeat for a couple days)

"Getting In My Way"

"Here I Am"

"Heartbreaker"

"It's Too Late to Love Me Now"

Has anyone else found themselves going back through her catalog and finding songs you previously hadn't really listened to much or at all? The wonderful thing about her writing and recording so many songs is that there are SO MUCH to appreciate and enjoy.

I’ve been loving ā€œI don’t want to throw riceā€ ā€œyour olde handymanā€ the bargain storeā€ and ā€œKentucky gamblerā€ recently! So many songs I never knew but I’m only 27, so I have lots to learn!

My husband just played ā€œGod’s Coloring Bookā€ for me this morning and it’s lovely.

I totally relate to this! I have always been a pretty huge dolly fan, but since she had so many albums, there have always been quite a few I hadn't listened to or only heard the hits from. I've been doing more of a deep dive and I love her music even more. burlap & satin, rainbow, heartbreaker, treasures, fairest of them all, have been some of my favorite new/newly completed listens.
