Long famous for her super-sized hooters, big wigs, smile and voice, Dolly Parton quipped when receiving a songwriters award last year that she's been known for two things throughout her career. "I'm talking about my music and my lyrics."
Parton, 62, announced Monday that she would postpone her upcoming North American tour after doctors told her to take it easy for six to eight weeks to rest her sore back. "Hey, you try wagging these puppies around a while and see if you don't have back problems," the sassy singer-songwriter said in a statement. The tour, was to begin on February 28 in Minneapolis, two days after the release of her first album of mainstream country music in 17 years titled "Backwoods Barbie". Dolly now plans to start the tour in April.
Parton has been enjoying a renewed popularity since releasing the first of a trio of bluegrass-tinged albums in 1999. Dolly delved back into her musical roots in bluegrass after finding she was no longer welcome in country radio, much like other widely acclaimed veterans Johnny Cash and Merle Haggard. She has garnered critical acclaim, and an appreciation of her 40 year career. Dolly Parton postpones tour, blames breasts
