Dolly Parton is playing Radio City Music Hall tonight. Frankly, I’m more excited than when the pope showed up a few weeks ago. (Who cares about the pope? Catholics?) I bet most New Yorkers would agree. What can I say about her that hasn’t already been written? She’s Dolly Parton!

To celebrate, here are some of my favorite songs by Dolly:

From The Rose and The Briar:
