Dolly Parton to Play First Nashville Shows in 12 Years, July 31 & Aug. 1 at The Ryman
•
Though she’s appeared on occasion in compilation-style performances like the Grand Ole Opry in recent years, it’s been more than a decade, July 2002 to be exact, since country legend Dolly Parton last played a proper concert in Music City. That’ll all change next month, however, when Dolly returns to The Ryman for an acoustic benefit show dubbed…

[Hump Day Diversion] Slow-Mo Jo
•
Dolly Parton‘s classic “Jolene” is undoubtedly one of the greatest songs of all time. Even Miley Cyrus can’t ruin it. And now longtime fans of the jam are all a-tizzy not with a new cover, but by a slowed down version of Dolly’s original. Known as the “Slow Ass Jolene” (stay class, internet!) –…

Hump Day Diversion: Accidental Racist
•
These days, it seems like you can’t pick any door in the pop culture funhouse that is the internet without discovering someone’s take on the unholy union of Brad Paisley and LL Cool J for their song “Accidental Racist” which dares to daringly, irresponsibly, admirably, or hilariously (depending on who you ask) address the…
