Feb. 23: Dolly Heading To Dollywood Next Month Dollywood officials on Wednesday confirmed Dolly will be on park for its season opening weekend next month and will return later in the spring to officially open the new $25 million Big Bear Mountain roller coaster, as construction delays will prevent it from debuting with the park's seasonal start. The nearly 4,000-foot-long coaster is about 75 percent complete, park officials announced at a media tour of the construction site on Wednesday. When asked about the ride's first day, they said Dolly would announce the specific date when she makes appearances for opening weekend next month and to kick off the I Will Always Love You 50th Anniversary Festival but that the coaster date would be "sooner than later" and would still meet their "spring 2023" deadline. Watch a summary of the press tour from Adventure Is Out Therehere. The park also updated that the next property resort hotel and convention center, Heartsong Lodge, will open in fall. Season passholders, gold and diamond pass holder bring-a-friends, guests at Dollywood's DreamMore Resort, and guests at Bear Cove Cabins (formerly Dollywood Cabins) may be admitted to Season Passholder Preview Day Friday, March 10, and the general public may join on official Opening Day Saturday, March 11, which also starts the I Will Always Love You 50th Anniversary Festival. Although details haven't been announced, traditionally Dolly makes a media appearance on Friday and parades through the park grounds on both Friday and Saturday, weather permitting, in addition to other possible "pop ins" at various shows around the park. Last year, her media event was open only to gold and diamond passholders with advance reservations, but no announcement has yet to be made about that for this year.

Two new Dolly singles were released last week: her promised cover of "Jolene" with Olivia Newton-John, hailed by the media in multiple reports as the final recording Newton-John made prior to her death six months ago from cancer at age 73, and a solo version of "The Last Thing On My Mind,", recorded as a tribute to the late Doc Watson for his centennial. The Newton-John duet, streamable on YouTube here or in the media player above and downloadable with pre-order of the full album Just The Two Of Us: The Duets Collection Vol. 1 coming out May 5 from Amazon here (also available on CD here and LP here). The Tom Paxton cover, on the other hand, will appear on the April 28 release I Am A Pilgrim: Doc Watson At 100, which also features Steve Earle and Roseanne Cash, among other artists. She had originally recorded the song, a signature tune of Watson's during his career, as her first duet with Porter Wagoner and performed it with Watson at his annual music festival in memory of his son, MerleFest, in 2001. In a press release, she said: "Doc Watson is everyone's hero and a great guitar player. Some say he is the absolute best, and I was honored to get to work with him a few times in my career."

Dolly Gets Record Store Day Monument Release Record Store Day last week announced that Legacy Records will issue a limited-edition LP of Dolly's Monument singles as a Record Store Day exclusive April 22. Most participating stores won't know until that morning whether they received a copy of the album, and stores usually don't allow reserving titles or ordering them specifically for RSD, so the only way to get it is to show up at participating record stores that morning to grab it before someone else. The The Monument Singles Collection 1964-1968 will be limited to 5,500 sets and is remastered from the original monoaural Monument master tapes. The announcement gave no reason why it was in mono instead of stereo, since her singles at the time were released in both formats. It will also feature liner notes from Holly George-Warren. (Although some media outlets listed the title as a 2-LP collection, the official Record Store Day site shows it as one disc.) In addition to the Dolly title, Kenny Rogers' estate has announced that a two-disc, vinyl version of his farewell concert, All In For the Gambler, which features Dolly on the final three songs ("You Can't Make Old Friends," "I Will Always Love You" and "Islands In The Stream") will be released as a "Record Store Day First" limited edition of 1,500 units prior to a to-be-determined release date for other retailers. For more information on the Dolly release, visit Record Store Day here or Legacy Records here. The track listing for side A appears in the press photo for the project, available at left (click on it for a larger version), while side B is presumed from her known singles released on the label in 1967 and 1968. It is unknown whether any additional tracks or unreleased tracks may be included as a bonus. The likely track listing is:
A. 1. What Do You Think About Loving
A. 2. I Wasted My Tears

Feb. 6: Dolly Loses Country Duo, American Roots Grammy Awards
Dolly on Sunday failed to add to her 10 career regular Grammy Awards, or 11 overall Grammys including her Lifetime Achievement Grammy Award, as both her collaborations with Bill Anderson and Reba McEntire lost.
"Someday It'll All Make Sense" (bluegrass remix) with Anderson lost Best American Roots Performance to "Stompin' Ground" by Aaron Neville with the Dirty Dozen Brass Band. The other nominees were "Life According to Raechel" by Madison Cunningham, "Oh Betty" by Fantastic Negrito, and "Prodigal Daughter" by Aoife O'Donovan and Allison Russell.
"Does He Love You – Revisited" with Reba lost Best Country Duo/Group Performance to "Never Wanted to Be That Girl" by Carly Pearce and Ashley McBryde. The other nominees were "Wishful Drinking" by Ingrid Andress and Sam Hunt, "Midnight Rider's Prayer" by Brothers Osborne, "Outrunnin' Your Memory" by Luke Combs and Miranda Lambert, and "Going Where the Lonely Go" by Robert Plant and Alison Krauss. Critics largely expected the Plant/Krauss collaboration to win, noting the Dolly and Reba duet was the most likely other nominee to upset the category, but that was not to be.
Prior to the awards, Anderson spoke to Billboardhere about how he and Dolly came to record the song. And Reba, who previously won a Grammy for their nomination song's original recording with Linda Davis, reflected on being nominated with Dolly to Southern Livinghere.
In her career, Dolly has amassed 53 Grammy nominations, second for a female after only Beyonce, who has 88 nominations. This was Dolly's first nomination in the American Roots field and her 14th in the Country Duo/Group category (or its 1980s separation into the Country Vocal Collaboration category), of which she had won three. The nomination was Reba's career 17th, of which she has won three. The nomination was Anderson's first as a performer, as his previous four nominations were for songwriting. He has yet to win a Grammy.

For example, Dolly's cover of "Life's Like Poetry" was included on a compilation they released recently of Merle Haggard songs.

Researching Dolly's Likeability Factor Researchers at Wilfrid Laurier University recently released a paper analyzing the positivity in Dolly's songwriting and postulating that it is at least partially responsible for her cross-section popularity. Most artists decrease their positivity and increase negativity in their songwriting over time, they found, and overall popular music's positivity is less today than in past generations, but the percentage of positivity, measured as usage of words such as "love" and "happiness," in Dolly's lyrics has remained constant over the course of her more than five decade-long career, their algorithm found. Read more about the paper in a summary story here and the full paper may be accessed here.
