I am no fan of Dolly but I will give her this:
She is the real thing, she really did experience the poverty and life of the area.
She really is talented.
Why aren’t you s fan? What’s not to like?
My dad grew up in the same area as Dolly. He was a bit older than her, but he did know of her older brothers (there were 11 or 12 kids in the family). Like Dolly, my dad was pretty poor. However, the family structure was strong. He just didn’t know that he was poor.
