My all time favourite photoshoot. She was (and still is) a Goddess.

Smoky Mountain Memories (Appalachian Memories) is one of Dolly’s best songs, not as well known by far. But it’s just beautiful and makes me tear up whenever I hear her sing it. She is such a talented song writer, or as she would rightly have it, Songteller. The song was on her 1983 album Burlap & Satin. This version was on her 2004 Live and Well album.

Here is her early version (Appalachian Memories) performed live in London, 1983.
