Dolly Rebecca Parton is an American singer songwriter, author, multi instrumentalist, actress and philanthropist, best known for her work in country music. She is one of the most successful female country artists, garnering the title of The Queen of Country Music.
Dolly is the first to say she’s not the youngest singer in the business. She is name dropped by young artists like Taylor Swift and Lady Antebellum as an artist that has inspired them in their own careers. Despite the youth of today’s hit makers, Dolly is still hanging tough in the industry and taking on new technology.
Dolly released her latest album, Better Day, last week. The album, which debuted at No. 9 on Billboard’s Country Chart, is full of songs that are meant to be uplifting. Dolly penned all the songs on the album which were inspired by events like the tsunami in Japan, conflict in the Middle East and America’s economic crisis.
I don’t write just to relieve my own anxieties, I write for the people who can’t express themselves, Dolly said. I can’t save the world, but I might be able to save someone today if I can put them in a better mood. The music’s designed to be like a ray of sunshine for all those folks in the dark.
Dolly recently stopped by the GAC studios to chat about her new album and upcoming world tour. She had a lot to say so if you missed her.
