I think it’s gonna be a good album,” said Parton. The icon said that when it comes to recruiting artists for her rock album, she opts to react out to the artist herself instead of having publicists make those connections.

She confirms she's recorded a version of The Rolling Stones' "Satisfaction" and is hoping to recruit Mick Jagger for the track.

Keeping with the “77” celebration, the Opry is set to spotlight hits from Parton’s 1977 album Here You Come Again, Parton’s first Platinum album and a crossover smash, with performances by Chapel Hart, The Fairfield Four, Caitlyn Smith, Marty Stuart, and Chris Young.

Kicking down doors for female performers in both country and pop music, she has soared in the worlds of books, television, philanthropy and movies — and pretty ...

In doing so, she crafted a love song for the ages — one that was a hit three (1974, 1982, 1995) times for the singer, and also taken to new heights in 1992 by [Whitney Houston](/artist/431329/whitney-houston/chart) on the soundtrack of The Bodyguard. A rarity on several fronts: For starters, Parton didn’t write the song, and she didn’t even record it first. It’s a luscious melody that stays in your head, and perhaps the Dolly Parton song that inspired a fan to go the distance to show his devotion — one fan reportedly had the album cover tattooed on himself. A 1972 hit for Parton, this was one of her first attempts to record a straight-ahead love song, rather than a nostalgic number dealing with her mountain roots. A song in which Parton is telling her lover not to be threatened by her past, she made this Patricia Sebert/Hugh Moffatt composition a classic. In 1969, Parton was struck with the inspiration for this nostalgic ballad about a childhood memory, but she didn’t have any paper with her — so she wrote the song on a dry cleaning receipt. The song’s title cut was a tribute to all who slaved away too many hours for too little pay, ultimately striking a chord with both country and pop audiences, topping the Hot 100, Hot Country Songs and Adult Contemporary. She went on to become the second female country artist to be inducted in both the Rock and Country Music Halls of Fame. As a country hit, it barely made a ripple — only charting as a B-side to her No. At the time it topped the charts in the summer of 1979, this was Parton’s fifth straight No. At the heart of that project was this exquisite ballad, which brought her another Hot Country Songs chart-topper. As a writer, she has penned everything from poignant, detailed ballads about life in the Smoky Mountains, where she grew up, to some of the most defining love songs of all time.

The music legend, entrepreneur and philanthropist discusses her business mindset today, why she remains inspired to give back to others and reveals a few of ...

I’ve had it up to here with you - don’t make me have to come down there.’ So, I just really kind of try to keep myself in a place where I can make people think, if nothing else, whether it be my songs or something I might say or some way that I might be.” That I’ve been blessed to still seem to be important in the world, musically and all the other things that we do. It makes me happy to bring some joy and shine some light on some of the things that where a lot of people are walking in darkness now. We’re doing that this summer, so there’s a whole lot of good things that I want to do, but I guess the network would be one of the things that I have not dabbled in of my own. As I began to conclude my conversation with Dolly, I left her with one final question - Today in 2023, what brings Dolly Parton the most joy? Dolly reveals, “Well, I’m actually hoping to start my own network and actually have movies and other programming on that, so that’s something that is coming up. “It seemed to be a match made in heaven, so then they thought ‘Well, we need to add more of that good southern stuff,’ so that’s when we came up with all the things you just talked about.” “Life has been good to me and God has been good to me, so the least I can do is try to give back in the ways that I can. So, if you’re not even a good cook - a guy like you or some young bride that doesn’t know how to cook, you can always do it on the back of all these things that you can buy off the shelves. In the spring of 2020, Dolly donated $1 million to Covid-19 research at Vanderbilt University that ultimately helped lead to the Moderna vaccine. So, I wondered what Dolly is most looking forward to sharing with fans about this different type of sound coming from her on this new album. I think everybody has to eat, so everybody has to cook something, whether you’re a good cook or not.

Duncan Hines tackles the Southern classics in two new baking mixes created in tandem with the country superstar.

I don’t know what Duncan Hines is interested in doing with me, but I will definitely be doing more things to bring good Southern food to the people who love it. But I always try to incorporate the things that I grew up with, and make it special. People are more health-conscious now than they used to be, back when everything was made with all that butter and grease and lard — all the stuff you need to make things good. I’ve always wanted to have a line of frozen foods, to cook up Southern dishes that people love, like chicken and dumplings. I write so many songs about my past, and many of them do refer to mom’s cooking or what I’m craving. I grew up eating the other, but we’re really trying to be true to the South and do the things that the majority of people want. When we started talking about doing the biscuits, we thought that it would be nice to have recipes that you can mix and match and flavor them up a little bit, depending on your taste for that day. We’ve all relied on Duncan Hines in the past: When you don’t have time to start from scratch or [you] don’t really know how to cook, you get mixes like these, and you can’t make mistakes if you follow the directions. At Dollywood, we have restaurants all over the park and we serve things that my family used to eat, like ham and beans. Can you talk about what it’s like to make this very old-school style of cooking still feel relevant in 2023? Dolly Parton: Because we did so well with the cake mixes, we started thinking about what our next lap was going to be, and the public started saying that they really wanted some cornbread. She’s a country music legend, to put it mildly, a successful actress, a business mogul, and prolific philanthropist who’s donated millions of dollars to causes including childhood literacy and the development of Moderna’s COVID-19 vaccine.

So she made her own guitar from an old mandolin and rusty piano strings, and performed on the porch for her siblings (and a few pigs). “Dolly has new song ideas all the time, like when she’s cooking, or traveling in her bus, and even in the bathtub,” said Lydia Hamessley, music professor at Hamilton College in New York and author of “Unlikely Angel: The Songs of Dolly Parton.” “She keeps paper and a pen in every room to jot down new lyrics, and she sings her melodies into a cassette tape recorder.” She’s not afraid to tell it like it is or wear what she likes: sparkly clothes and sky-high heels. In addition to being an owner of the Dollywood amusement park, which opened in 1986, Parton has struck business deals with Netflix, kitchen supplies store Williams-Sonoma (for guitar-shaped cookie cutters), baking brand Duncan Hines (Southern banana cake) and other companies. In honor of her father, who could not read or write, Parton founded her Imagination Library, which has gifted more than 197 million books to children. She’s a successful business executive. Millions of people enjoy listening to her voice on the radio and streaming devices. A bundle of endless energy, Parton rises at 3 each morning and works long days. “Dolly is so popular today because she has become more than a singer/songwriter,” said Ted Miller, vice chair of the Dollywood Foundation. She’s a gifted songwriter. Dolly Parton reads to children at the Library of Congress in 2018. Her Imagination Library has gifted more than 197 million books to kids.
