A star of immense charm, Dolly Parton captivates audiences beyond country music, with songs like "Jolene" and "9 to 5" appealing to diverse listeners. More than just a singer or actress, she embodies a cultural phenomenon, known for her talent, infectious laugh, and resilient spirit. Unique among female stars, she owns Dollywood, a themed amusement park in Pigeon Forge, Tennessee, attracting thousands of fans annually. Helen Morales, a devoted admirer, embarks on a journey to explore Parton's Tennessee. Her travels take her to iconic sites like Elvis Presley's Graceland, Loretta Lynn's ranch, the Country Music Hall of Fame, and the Grand Ole Opry, culminating in the "Dolly Homecoming Parade" in Pigeon Forge, where Parton serves as grand marshal. Morales contrasts the imagined Tennessee of Parton's lyrics with the real landscape that shaped the singer's upbringing, highlighting connections between country music and regional culture. Accompanied by her partner and daughter, Morales, a recent English transplant, seeks to grasp American values through Tennessee's celebrity landmarks. This homage to Dolly and Americana resonates with anyone who finds solace in music, promising to win over even those unfamiliar with Parton's enchanting artistry.
