Dolly Parton released ‘My Tennesse Mountain Home’ at 27 years old
My Tennesse Mountain Home is a collection by the this songwriter that premiered in 1973 when Parton was only 27 years old. The album was an “ode” to the songwriter’s small town upbringing, highlighting the best of her country sound.
The title track is the most popular song from the 1973 release, with “The Wrong Direction Home,” “Down On Music Row,” and “Daddy’s Working Boots” also added to the 11-track collection.
“Where I came from, people never dreamed of venturing out. They just lived and died there,” she told Playboy in 1978 (via Vinyl Me Please). “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.’”’
My Tennesse Mountain Home is the first album available in the Vinyl Me Please collaboration, although fans can expect a new Parton product every month. Until then, already released music by Parton is available on most major streaming platforms.
