Dolly mixture

‘I’ve combined my love of storytelling and books,’ Dolly Parton recently tweeted to her fans’ delight. The country legend’s debut novel,

Run, Rose, Run, is set to be released in March, alongside a companion album of new music.

Having written the book in collaboration with author James Patterson, Parton then got to work on a set of 12 songs based on characters and situations within the novel. It might be Parton’s first foray into fiction, but she isn’t straying too far from familiar territory.

Run, Rose, Run follows a young woman who moves to Nashville to follow her dreams of becoming a star.
