About this episode

This bonus episode pays tribute to the late Dolly Parton, celebrating her impact on music and culture.

Dolly Parton has passed away. Dolly Parton was a musical giant, an American songwriter worthy of a place on the same page in the music history books as Bob Dylan, Kurt Cobain, Johnny Cash, Taylor Swift, or anyone else you can think of. More importantly, she was a first-class human, and an inspiration to me and many, many others.   For more great stories at the intersection of music and true crime, check out these episodes: The Go-Gos Bob Dylan   See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
