I’m not a biker chick!
Your previous album, Rockstar, was in many ways a homage to other artists you admire. Your new album, Dolly Parton and Family: Smoky Mountain DNA – Family, Faith and Fables, not only highlights the family musical roots in the Great Smoky Mountains, but is a showcase for other talented family members. I am beginning to worry that these two albums are a wrapping-up exercise and that you’re planning to retire. Please tell me I’m wrong. SpottedRichard
Oh, my Lord, I can’t retire. I always say I’ve dreamed myself into a corner. I’ve got to keep all those dreams alive. Every dream spins off into some something else. It’s misinformation when I said I was not touring any more. I still do shows – I just don’t go on the full-blown tours where I go overseas for weeks. I’m older, my husband’s older, and I want to be with him more. So, no. I couldn’t retire if I wanted to. And I don’t want to.
Dolly Wines are available at Asda. The album Dolly Parton and Family: Smoky Mountain DNA – Family, Faith and Fables is released 15 November
