The Irish are just like her people back in butcher holler. And the folk music of Ireland and Scotland forms the basis of country music from Appalachia and, like jazz, uniquely American. Dolly is among her people and they understand her. That song, written about her severely impoverished childhood in Appalachia, could have easily been written about childhood memories of Ireland. Perfect alignment among singer and her audience, expressing essential values of maternal love, gratitude and humility. Sentiments both very real and transcendent. Dolly and the Irish bless us.

From what I can gather, the place Dolly comes from is exactly where our Irish and Scottish forefathers settled when they left Ireland for the new world, and the appalachian people are mostly Irish and Scottish descendants anyway.

Loretta Lynn was from Butchers Holler Kentucky. Dolly is from around Sevierville, Tennessee. Both are small towns in the Appalachia Mountains. Dolly has done so much for her home state and her home county. When fire swept through the Smokey Mountains, Dolly helped so many people build their businesses and homes back. She has given so much to the education of children and the economy of Tennessee! Recently Tennessee wanted to put a statue of her in Nashville in the state capital and Dolly very humbly declined the honor. That is just how she is, a generous soul who gives and gives but so many of her contributions are done privately because she does it out of the goodness of her heart not for any fame or glory. Speaking as a Tennessean myself, I can think of no one else who is as respected and loved in our state as Dolly Parton. What a true blessing to the world she is.

Youngest of eight kids and our dad passed away from cancer when I was in third grade. He was of Irish descent and had the gift of gab, and a man's man yet full of affection. My mom, who is now passed, made sure we understood how much he loved each of us with all his heart. It amazes me how she kept our family going the way she did and feel part of the reason was my dad's spirit supported us along the way. She was the model of grace and dignity, and she didn't wallow in his loss. She spoke with intense gratitude when telling stories about him. Growing up it was clear we didn't have allot of money - e.g. going to school with patches on our jeans to make them last a little bit longer. But I felt rich in spirit and surrounded by love. That was the foundation my wife (who happens to be all Irish :) and I built a wonderful life together and raised three amazing children who all know they are loved deeply by us, and that we appreciate them for who they are. They've grown into strong independent young adults who are well-balanced and have solid moral compasses, and they are now starting families of their own. I have not been perfect - who is - but know my parents are proud of the man I became and the husband and father I am.

Editing and auto tune should add something, but there should be some substance there in the first place. Like you're losing the atmosphere and the warmth of a live performance, and some of the subtleties of tone etc... So you make up for it with some reverb. Maybe you tidy up a few little inconsistencies at the same time. But if you can't sing in tune, or produce a good, consistent tone, or just perform music properly, you've no business recording. And dolly is clearly a consummate professional. Quite aside from having something unique, which she does, she has the polish of someone who has been doing it for years.

This is wonderful! Dolly is just a sweetie. The Irish love a good tune. Some years ago my sister and her husband, a well-known musician from the area we live in on Vancouver Island (Canada) went on a trip to Ireland. At one pub they got chatting with the fellows there who were providing the musical entertainment and it was revealed that they were down a man so could not do their regular set. My cheeky sister told them they could "borrow my man" and told them how many instruments he could play. So they did. They had a great time, and even let my brother-in-law sing. He ended up teaching them one of the songs HIS band plays all the time. Anyway, they stopped in that town longer than planned because they asked him to come back the next two nights as well - and they tried to pay him but he didn't take it, so they kept the pints flowing, and declared him "honorary band leader".😂 When my sister and her husband had to continue on their journey, and it was determined where their next several stops were, the fellows in the band gave him contacts for some other pubs along the way, and so he ended up playing in at least 3 more places. They had an absolute blast. Ireland is fabulous.

[@suzycreamcheese8888]

[@Stringtrees]

I am English and had a similar experience, I was alone as I was visiting my young son who lived with my ex-wife who had moved to Ireland. I wanted to see what it was like in a real Irish pub. There I was having a beer and got chatting. There were some guys playing and I just happened to mention that I played guitar. A guitar was produced as if out of nowhere and I spent the rest of the evening trying to keep up with the locals and this was not easy. I didn't have to buy a drink for the rest of night and got quite merry. Someone guided me back to the B & B I was staying in as all I could remember was the name of the Landlady. At breakfast the next morning the Landlady had heard all about it. A great nation.

So now, I too, have learned to be skeptical of what I see and hear . The "school of life" taught those things. Thus, when I read your comment about the bloke who used to work with Dolly, I was looking for a choice tidbit that would at last, disclose the "chink in her armor ". But, the bloke's true story showed me that she is a true angel .

Steve Cooney is widely regarded as one of the best trad Irish guitarist, and is widely sought after by the top musicians to do session work, he is very used to rubbing shoulders with famous musicians. At 3:38 the man to Dolly's right is Paídi Ó Sé, the proprietor of the establishment, and who is famous in his own right, having won the All Ireland Gaelic Football Championship eight times as a player, and twice as a manager.

Had to include this. With the money this lovely lass makes, she gives it back to our young children, the next generation via The Imagination Library. Free age appropriate books monthly to children from birth to 5 yrs in the United States, Canada, United Kingdom, Australia and Republic of Ireland. Any caregiver can apply and receive said books in record time. Would love to see other wealthy celebrities follow in her footsteps.

She is a beautiful lady! Very talented!

[@tom_olofsson]

She is a real person. She makes everyone around her feel special. A very generous artist.

[@onetime7408]

Totally agree.

That guitarist had some skills... Up the Irish!

[@Gogs126]

He is a very renowned Australian/Irish musician both in his own right and as a collaborator with famous artists...and was briefly married to Sinead O'Connor too ;)

[@dermur68]

Google "Begley & Cooney" - he's pretty famous in his own right.

Thank you! I look forward to the investigation 🙂

That's not a entitled woman,that's a talented woman.

Fukin oath. She is a treasure and a true star.

[@loadhoney1835]

Still a very beautiful lady and a very special singer

[@srcastic8764]

She’s done a lot for the area she grew up in. People might say a lot of the things, like Dollywood, are just ways for her to make money. But the truth is it brings a lot of jobs to the area, not just at the park, but at the businesses and other attractions that have sprung up around it due to the success she has turned it into. That’s someone who cares about where she’s from and the people there. Not just about herself and her fame.

[@lewstone5430]

I’ve been to Dollywood and had a great time.

Im 65 years old. And she can still bring a tear to my eye. America's Sweetheart will live forever out through many generations to come.

And not a mobile phone in sight. Good times! Class act.

[@oldfridge5059]

No, digital cameras instead. Do you think the camera flashes and the video itself coms from people’s eyes?

[@lauralishes1]

@@oldfridge5059 She brought a whole camera crew, lighting, producer, audio ect all in the pub with her. It wasn't as random and unplanned as it seems.

They were not invented then??

Laura Walker why does that make it better than people saving their memory on their phone?
