Big of hair and bigger of heart, Dolly Parton remains a glorious and seemingly indefatigable presence in pop culture. Aged 78, she’s still releasing bold new projects at a higher rate than most artists, and to mark her latest endeavours, she will be joining us to answer your questions about anything in her remarkable career.
Sixty years on from when she graduated from high school and moved to Nashville to pursue her music career, she’s now going back to her roots with Dolly Parton & Family: Smoky Mountain DNA – Family, Faith & Fables. The new 37-track album and accompanying docuseries charts her parents’ heritage from Britain in the 1600s to the mountains of east Tennessee where Parton grew up, and is a celebration of the folk and country music of Appalachia, performed by Parton and members of her family. She’s also just launched her own range of wine, Dolly Wines, with an “easy-drinking, light-hearted, and vibrant” prosecco and a rosé “embodying Dolly’s joyful essence in every sip” (you can pick it up in Asda).
