Dolly Parton says Smoky Mountain DNA is her favorite album
In an interview with the Associated Press, Parton said that music runs in her veins from both sides of her family.
“We’re kind of like the Carter family. We go back generations,” she said.
Just one look at this 1987 performance of “Daddy Was An Old Time Preacher Man” with her family proves that. This recording is used on the album.
