Dolly Parton’s passing on Tuesday at 80 years old marks the end of one of American music’s most important chapters. Her mix of rural Tennessee roots, pop music savvy, songwriting genius and vivacious persona made her an authentic icon. By way of appreciation, Craig Havighurst has pulled a never-published interview from his archives, in which Dolly talks about tuning her voice to the times, taking chances, and staying true to her conception of country music.
