9781785588471: Not Dumb. Not Blonde: Dolly in Conversation

Synopsis

Born in poverty in Tennessee, Dolly Rebecca Parton had ambition in spades. Her first solo country single was the ironic 'Dumb Blonde', which launched the now legendary career of a singer-songwriter with a pure country voice, a gift for story-telling and razor-sharp business instincts.

Smart as a whip, she has created a huge business enterprise, owning the Dollywood theme park and many other hospitality venues. Her Imagination Library project sends free books to children all over the world until they re five years old. For Dolly, dreams are everything and nothing you gotta roll your sleeves up and get stuck in.

Review

"Six decades into her career, Dolly continues to be a fountain of songwriting creativity. Randy L. Schmidt's Dolly on Dolly reflects all of this. The book chronicles journalists' encounters with this force of nature over forty-seven years. I was charmed by its very early stories, written when she was just beginning to establish her image. But I was equally enthralled by the stories written about Dolly as I know her today, as an American popular-culture icon. Love her. Love this book." --Robert K. Oermann, music journalist

"Dolly on Dolly is an indulgent journey through Dolly's life and career, giving fans a chance to relive interviews they haven't seen in decades, but moreover it is a study in excellent interview technique. Dolly Parton is one of the world's most skilled interview subjects, expertly navigating reporters' questions with humor and wit, remaining in control of the interview at all times and gently steering if where she wants it to go. Dolly on Dolly offers a fascinating overview of how her natural interview talent grew over time to a level that few in the public eye can match." --Duane Gordon, publisher, dollymania.net

"You don't need to be a Dolly Parton devotee to appreciate these 25 in-depth interviews, spanning 1967 to 2014, which chronicle the journey of a talented woman coming into her own." --BUST magazine

"This polished tribute will be candy for Parton fans, while readers with a casual interest in pop culture will find it highly browsable and full of good humor." --Library Journal

"Dolly on Dolly is a must for the legions of Dolly Parton fans and will prove to be an instant and enduringly popular addition to community library American Biography collections, as well as academic library American Country Music History supplemental studies lists." --Midwest Book Review

"Dolly on Dolly magnificently encapsulates Dolly Parton's career through her own words. It's a must read for fans of all ages." --Gary and Larry Lane, actors and filmmakers (Hollywood to Dollywood)

Paperback. Condition: New. "Nobody knows Dolly like Dolly," declares Dolly Parton. Dolly's is a rags-to-riches tale like no other. A dirt-poor Smoky Mountain childhood paved the way for the buxom blonde butterfly's metamorphosis from singer-songwriter to international music superstar. The undisputed "Queen of Country Music," Dolly has sold more than 100 million records worldwide and has conquered just about every facet of the entertainment industry: music, film, television, publishing, theater, and even theme parks. It has been more than fifty years since Dolly Parton arrived in Nashville with just her guitar and a dream. Her story has been told many times and in many ways, but never like this. Dolly on Dolly is a collection of interviews spanning five decades of her career and featuring material gathered from celebrated publications including Rolling Stone, Cosmopolitan, Playboy, and Andy Warhol's Interview magazine. Also included are interviews which have not been previously available in print. Dolly's feisty and irresistible brand of humor, combined with her playful, pull-up-a-chair-and-stay-awhile delivery, makes for a fascinating and inviting experience in down-home philosophy and storytelling.Much like her patchwork "Coat of Many Colors," this book harkens back to the legendary entertainer's roots and traces her evolution, stitching it all together one piece at a time.
