Logo for A Date With Dolly: Michael Ball Meets Dolly Parton - Episode 2

The second instalment of Michael Ball's revealing interview with the country queen, recorded at her offices in Nashville. Featuring everything from her Led Zeppelin cover and why her friend Tammy Wynette never gave up her beautician's licence; to comic revelations about what Dolly thinks of her image; and the unveiling of her rather impressive British accent. There's also an opportunity to hear more tracks from her new Live From London album, such as Little Sparrow and Backwoods Barbie; as well as many of her best-loved studio recordings. We hear how Dolly reworked Cole Porter bluegrass-style; and she talks about favourite duet partners from Kenny Rogers, to Emmylou Harris and Linda Ronstadt.
