Dolly Parton, Part 1 - In the Good Old Days (When Times Were Bad)

On our first planned two-part series, we do "the Full Waits" on an icon, legend, and one of our favorite people who we know very little about: Dolly Parton! With over forty studio albums released over the last forty-five years, we simply could not cover the entire scope of Dolly's career in one episode. In our first part, we cover Dolly's debut, her rise to fame with Porter Wagoner, and of course, the day that she wrote both "Jolene" and "I Will Always Love You."

This episode contains explicit language, as well as brief discussions of violence, including violence against women.

Co-Hosts: Sydney Painter and Anthony Pinggera

Theme music by Dana Wilentz.
