Episode 1445: Richie Owens Talks About "Dolly Parton & Family: Smoky Mountain DNA – Family, Faith & Fables"

Hello friends! Dolly Parton's new album, Dolly Parton & Family: Smoky Mountain DNA – Family, Faith & Fables is out today, and her multi-talented cousin, Richie Owens who produced the album, is my guest for episode 1445! The nearly 40-track album shines a light on the legacy of both sides of Dolly’s family -her paternal Parton family and her mother’s side, the Owens. Smoky Mountain DNA traces their origins from the United Kingdom in the 1600s to their home today in the Great Smoky Mountains of East Tennessee with the music and culture of Appalachia. The album features songs performed by Dolly with various members of her immediate & extended family, spanning generations. Some tracks include the voices of beloved family members who have passed, alongside contemporary contributions from today’s generation. Click HERE for more album information. Richie and I have a great conversation about growing up in such an amazingly talented family, working with Dolly, finding all of the family recordings and cleaning them up, producing The Georgia Satellites "Keep Your hands To Yourself" and much more. I had a great time getting to know Richie. I'm sure you will too.
