My Tennessee Mountain Home — Dolly Parton

A deeply sincere and sun-dappled tribute to rural roots and family bonds.

Moments Worth Listening For

The intimate spoken-word intro of the title track where she reads a letter to her parents over a soft guitar

The bright, rolling banjo line on 'The Better Part of Life' that feels like a sunburst through the trees

The way her voice catches with genuine affection during the final verses of 'Down on Music Row'
