AEG Live Entertainment presents country rock sensation Dolly Parton live Friday, August 8 at the WaMu Theater.
"Dolly Parton's standing as one of the entertainment worlds most beloved and durable superstars is undeniably assured. But as the celestial-voiced songstress illustrates on her new Columbia/Blue Eye album Something Special, the thrill of making music is far from gone for the dazzling superstar.
Comprised of ten songs written by the prolific yet extraordinarily profound artist, Something Special reveals yet new dimensions to Dollys enormous musical gifts. With such songs as the enchanting Green-Eyed Boy, the heartbreaking Crippled Bird, the playful Speakin Of The Devil and the lilting title track, Dolly Parton effortlessly shows her undiminished gift for spinning timeless musical tales that has established her as one of country musics most cherished songwriters.
Once again sharing production duties with mentor Steve Buckingham, the singer caps off her latest project with a true musical coupe - a breathtakingly gorgeous duet with country star Vince Gill on the definitive version of the timeless classic I Will Always Love You. The song - which won BMIs Most Performed Song of the Year in 1993 as a result of the No. 1 hit delivered via pop diva Whitney Houston - has topped the charts three times proving itself a true songwriting classic.
With a characteristically jam-packed schedule that continues to become even more overrun with her continuing involvement in motion pictures, television and Dollywood, Dollys dedication to her first love - music - is nothing short of astounding. And a lesson for music lovers everywhere."

I only have one thing to say to your comment, what a load of crap!!! dolly is one of thee best artist that this world has ever seen, she touches people of all ages and sex with her incrediable songwriting and singing gifts..people like you need to see behind the make up, wigs and everything else and see the person underneath it all. Dolly is an amazing person and has managed to help people all over the world, not to mention the endless charity work and continious donations to different projects, not many artists have the credibility that dolly has, which she has rightfully earned through these years, and after 40 years in the business she is still going strong, cant say that about many other artists these days can you !!!!!!

Dolly impresses me in the same was way a silicon dish impresses me when it withstands the heat of an oven. The silicone may be the end of the similarities between these two though.
Dolly Parton is to country what Vanilla Ice was to Rap. Definitely a big player, but in the end, a joke. If not for her giant rack, there would be no reason whatsoever for her to show her face in public again. After expressing her political beliefs, and thereby attempting to step out of her realm, she really exposed the trailer trash within, and any good she may have done through charity is now null in my ethics book.
