What a fun interview. There are some great outtakes from Morley's interview with Dolly at fancast.com (as well as the full interview as aired in case you missed it). They are at

I have been a Dolly fan for over 30 years and she has always been my inspiration to be a better person. Dolly you are amazing and I hope you never stop performing. Wish the whole hour was the interview with Dolly. Would love to see more of this American Treasure and Icon!

The song I believe you refer to is "My Tennessee Mountain Home" and is from an album by the same name. I think it was released in the early 1970's.

She is one fine lady and I am proud to be from the great East Tennessee area.

I met Dolly years ago during her "9 to 5" premiere at the Nashville Ole' Opry. I will never forget how she spent her time that evening, meeting, greeting and taking pictures with those of us that were invited to the premiere. I worked for a record company at the time and she was my favorite recording person, I was so excited to met her. I still have a picture of myself with her. I have thought often about asking her to "redo" the picture. She does not look the same, nor do I!!! But Dolly is the genuine person she appears to be and I still consider her my favorite recording person!

Does anyone know the name of the song about Tennessee that Dolly sings toward the end of the interview. It's so beautiful!

Thank you so much Morley for doing this Dolly Parton interview. It was absolutely one of the most heart-warming interviews I have ever seen. I have always admired Dolly, who she is, her humble beginnings - and Morley you brought everything together so wonderfully. Thanks, again - you made my day!! Diane

To compare Dolly to Joan Rivers is a joke. Dolly is so much more and has worked hard to get where she is today. Her u[beat attitude is an inspiration to everyone even through her bad times she stays positive. Her laugh makes me giggle. II will always be a fan of Dolly's and as for Joan Rivers she is just too annoying and not even funny.
I don't think Dolly should change one thing about herself thats who she is and I like it. Keep on doing what your doing Dolly I will always love you.

You are missing the obvious here...Joan Rivers does not have the sweet nature of Dolly..apples & oranges. Love you, Dolly!

Dolly Parton becoming a monstrosity? Hell no!!! . Heck, if half the people on this earth has her attitude this would be one heck of a place to live.. I see nothing wrong with her at all. She's absolutely gorgeous at any age. God bless ya, Dolly. I'll always be a huge fan... This chocolate sister thinks-no-Yes, she does- She knows you're beautiful!!!!

"...she will become a monstrosity, like Joan Rivers."

Y'know, years ago, I actually thought Joan Rivers was kind of cute. Now she's just another plastic surgeon-created caricature like Kenny Rogers, Priscilla Presley and the Gloved One, Michael Jackson.

willyn3 .......Dolly became famous on the Porter Wagner Show over 40 years ago. Hardly middle-aged. I was a child then and am now middle-aged myself. Her gimmick has spanned her career, so don't expect her to change now. It is what has gotten her to where she is.

Everyone loves Dolly, and for many different reasons, but!..... she has to let go of the kewpie doll look and grow into a serious middle aged, attractive woman. What lies ahead with this approach is that she will become a monstrosity, like Joan Rivers.
