Nobody knows Dolly like Dolly, declares Dolly Parton. Dollys is a rags-to-riches tale like no other. A dirt-poor Smoky Mountain childhood paved the way for the buxom blonde butterflys metamorphosis from singer-songwriter to international music superstar. The undisputed Queen of Country Music, Dolly has sold more than 100 million records worldwide and has conquered just about every facet of the entertainment industry: music, film, television, publishing, theatre, and even theme parks. Its been more than 50 years since Dolly Parton arrived in Nashville with just her guitar and a dream. Her story has been told many times and in many ways, but never like this. Dolly on Dolly is a collection of interviews spanning five decades of her career and featuring material gathered from celebrated publications including Rolling Stone, Cosmopolitan, Playboy, and Andy Warhols Interview magazine. Also included are interviews which have not been previously available in print. Dollys feisty and irresistible brand of humor, combined with her playful, pull-up-a-chair-and-stay-awhile delivery, makes for a fascinating and inviting experience in downhome philosophy and storytelling. Much like her patchwork Coat of Many Colors, this book harkens back to the legendary entertainers roots and traces her evolution, stitching it all together one piece at a time.
