Dolly was born in Eastern Tennessee, and moved to Nashville after high school where she met Porter Wagoner. Together, they had many successful duets, and she also had many solo hits as well. Dolly added acting to her credit, starring in several motion pictures before returning to her roots with Bluegrass music once more.
1. Little Sparrow - Dolly Parton
"Little Sparrow" is Dolly's second highly acclaimed bluegrass album and she received the Female Vocalist Grammy Award for the song "Shine." This is yet another example of Dolly's natural and diverse talent. She has gone back to her roots to record her last albums and they are Pure Country Gold. It is a release from Sugar Hill Records and off of the Blue Eye label.
2. The Grass is Blue
On "The Grass is Blue," Dolly brought in some friends to help her with the project; and you can hear Patty Loveless and Alison Krauss helping with background vocals (among others). Legendary Bluegrass musician Stuart Duncan also makes an appearance. This album is an absolute must for any Dolly Parton fan.
