To have just realised that i love dolly parton?

[puds11]

Just that really. Her songs are lovely.

Love her, she's ace.

Saw her at sheffield, want to see her again.

Fave song used to be Jolene but I LOVE Why'd you come in here looking like that...........with your cowboy boots and painted on jeans, all decked out like a cow girls dreams.............Off to play that now really loud!!

I also love Kenny rogers too

'The highre the hair the closer to heaven'

My nana was a huge C n W fan she got me into it all she adored kenny rogers and would spend a sunday playing his records

yes, YABU to have only just realised . I love love love Coat of many colours, and of course her original I will always love you is by far the best version ever.

I like Dolly. Have her greatest hits on my IPhone, although very embarrassed if the appear on a public shuffle.

Also love Islands in the Stream, uh ha a ah.

sail away with me

You've just inspired me to buy the MP3 album, thank you. :)

I love that Coat of Many Colours, too. Also that film Steel Magnolias she's in. I always say I won't cry and I always do.

My I love her, she's very witty. d a fantastic songwriter. i have one of her tracks as my ringtone There is nothing wrong with Islands in the Stream - I played it at my weddin

Welcome on board, puds! She is the business, Dolly is. She is v underrated/treated as a bit of a joke, IMO probably because of the self-created ridiculous look and persona.

Do see her live if you get the chance. I've seen her a couple of times and she reliably brings out the good quotes/jokes ('It takes a lot of money to look this cheap' etc) .

She also sings Little Sparrow a capella, and frankly if that doesn't make the hairs on your neck stand up and make you cry, then you're clinically dead.

Has anyone here ever been to Dollywood? I really want to go but DH won't even talk about it.

No, but a girlfriend and I have a long-standing ambition to go and have been talking about it since we met when we were 22 or so.

We're now talking about doing it for our 40th, in about 3 years. That's how long it's been and how old we are

I've been to Pigeon Forge, where Dollywood is, but DH would have none of it. He was more interested in the sideshows. And it's a dry town, so best move over to Gatlinburg.

HOW COULD YOU GO TO PIGEON FORGE AND NOT GO TO DOLLYWOOD?

Yes, I know I'm shouting.

I'd trample over my DP. Then again, my DP would probably be quite up for a trip to Dollywood.

I was outvoted! DH and DSs wanted to play on go-cars :( and I needed a drink.

most people are closet Dolly fans. I came out a good while back though... couldnt keep up the denial and pretence! Just looking out for a good 'over-ma-bed' poster now!

Not good enough.

She's great.

Now, go listen to Iris DeMent and EmmyLou Harris and Alison Krauss.

And John Prine, who is the love of my life.

YANBU She is a woman of substance but wears it lightly.

well, it has taken you a while. she has some good songs, or had, in the seventies. and she's a nice, generous person. i can understand that people might love her. well done you.

It's even worse than that, LadyClarice - we've been on holiday there twice, for two separate weeks.

I can't take any more, ClaireBunting. Talk to the hand.

Nor did we go to the Grand Ol' Opry when we were in Nashville, although did manage the shopping mall next door.

Love her too. Narrowly missed Dollywood, didn't have time and couldn't justify going when it seemed to be mostly rollercoasters
