Visiting New York today to chat with author Holly George-Warren, to talk about her latest book 'Dolly Parton Behind the Seams - My Life in Rhinestones', the backstory about Parton's iconic wardrobe. The two time Grammy nominated writer and former book editor for Rolling Stone Magazine, has written other biographies including "Janis: Her Life and Music' (2019); 'A Man Called Destruction: The Life and Music of Alex Chilton, from Box Tops to Big Star to Backdoor Man' (2014), describes her recent journey of writing and working alongside Dolly, focusing on the iconic country singer's humble beginnings in Pigeon Forge, Tennessee, where her early fashion sense and unique wardrobe style began. We also catch up on two books she's working on - one about writer Jack Kerouac and the other about country singer Jerry Jeff Walker. This self proclaimed "research nerd" with a true love of music, also describes her special college reunion in Chapel Hill, NC over the summer, at a place she appropriately calls "The Hippie House". Bring your love of books and music and join us!
