About this listen
It's time for Jason to make his case! In part 1 of 2 biographical sketches of Dolly Parton, we discuss Dolly's background, her early music career, her challenges and opportunities, and try our hands as music critics with a handful of her songs. Along the way, we light-heartedly discuss covered songs, opine on whether Whitney or Dolly did I will Always Love You better, trot out a few other famous personalities who worked with Dolly, and at one point Jason shares a shocking take on whether Carl Perkins or Elvis did Blue Suede Shoes better.
Further Reading
There is no shortage of information on Dolly Parton available. Most of her story has been told her way or by Dolly herself. Maybe that's one-sided but, then again, it has worked to create an image of Dolly that almost nobody dislikes. Very few can lay claim to that feat.
