Country Song Roundup - September 1976

Here's a two-page article on Dolly from a vintage Country Song Roundup magazine.

The Best of Dolly Parton ad

Ad from a 1976 magazine to buy Dolly's first best-of album through the mail from the Ernest Tubb Record Shop.

Heartbreaker Photo Shoot

Here's a few random photos from the photo shoot for the Heartbreaker album.

Trash Can Photos

One of the strangest and most highly coveted items by DP collectors is a trash can, released in the late '70s, that bears her likeness (I don't have a digital camera at the moment, or I'd provide pics). Adorning the can are these two photos by Ed Caraeff, which also appeared in his book "Dolly Close Up."

Dolly Parton Wig Ads

Yes, amongst a variety of merchandise that Dolly's put her name on, there's been a line of wigs. Here are two full-page ads, and two quarter-page ads, for her wigs from the mid '90s.

Cineaste Interview

This is a 1990 interview with Cineaste Magazine, in which Dolly covers all sorts of subjects -- from her home life to her family to politics to her then-current film, STEEL MAGNOLIAS. The magazine's probably not too well-known outside of the film world, but they're known for their rich writing and probing interviews.

Wild Texas Wind photos

Yeah, I know these WILD TEXAS WIND pics are probably available elsewhere, but here they are again...

Wild Texas Wind Wallpaper!

Here's something that you won't find anywhere else! Here's some wallpaper for your machine with the logo for Dolly's band, "Big T and the Texas Wheel" from the film WILD TEXAS WIND! "Yippie-i-ki-o, yippie-i-ki-e... Big T!"

Dolly's Self-Help Book?!

This 1984 Redbook interview tells of another of Dolly's numerous ill-fated projects, a self-help book titled "I Am."

"I've had my makeup off and on all day..."

Nothing to do with anything, but I found this photo in a 1977 "Country Song Roundup." The accompanying article is about makeup artists, and Dolly's name is only mentioned in passing. I would assume that this was backstage on her '70s variety show.

Dollywood Holiday Inn Postcards

I'm inclined to say that these postcards are from 1998, but don't quote me on that. In any event, these were complimentary cards given out by Holiday Inn Express Hotels, promoting the park, Jukebox Junction, The Music Mansion and Daredevil Falls.

"He's Alive" Sheet Music

Here's the sheet music for "He's Alive!"

"My Blue Tears" Sheet Music

This 2-page spread comes from the March, 1972 issue of "Country & Western Hit Parade" magazine.

American Songwriter Article 1990

Here's an article from a 1990 issue of "American Songwriter." She briefly discusses "White Limozeen," but the focus of the article is songwriting in general.

Rainbow Press Kit

Here are scans of the small press kit that was sent out, heralding the debut of Dolly's pop album "Rainbow" (which inexplicably turned out to be one of her biggest flops).
























Since the album will most likely never come back in print, I have no qualms about pointing out that it can be downloaded here (though you'll need a program like winrar that's capable of unpacking rar files).

50 Years of Country Music ad

I know I've seen this elsewhere on the net, but here it is again. This is an ad sheet for the TV-Special "50 Years of Country Music," which was for use in magazines and newspapers. Click for a much larger view.
