Released when Dolly Parton was 27 years old, the introductory track of My Tennessee Mountain Home finds her reading an old letter she wrote to her parents when she left home to chase a music career in Nashville at age 18.

‘Where I came from, people never dreamed of venturing out. They just lived and died there,’ she told Playboy in 1978. ‘To me, a little kid coming from where I did and having that ambition and sayin’ I wanted to be a star, people would say, “Well, it’s good to daydream, but don’t get carried away.”’
