Review of Women Making Music: Dolly Parton

Another wonderful piece in a series that brings us music and thought provoking insights.
Masterfully crafted and produced, this is an artist monologue with music. No reporter to get in the way of wonderful, easy to listen to segment.
Now, to be sure Dolly is one overexposed celebrity. She works on public radio because she is authentic, open, self deprecating and a master craftsperson (music, plastic surgery, whatever venture she undertakes).
That honesty is what makes her and this piece a must air on music or news stations. The music cuts are a bit on the mellow side making this a sweet Sunday morning postcard for any format.
