It’s hard not to love Dolly Parton. The songwriter, singer, actress, and icon of country music has been charming fans for years. The Kennedy Center in Washington just recognized her with a lifetime achievement award, and the ceremony will be broadcast on CBS this week. Kurt spoke with Dolly after the release of her latest record, Those Were the Days.
