Dolly Parton reschedules tour dates

Thursday, February 14, 2008 – Just days after postponing the first dates of her "Backwoods Barbie" tour due to unspecified back problems, Dolly Parton announced Thursday she will start her tour in late April.

Parton is touring in support of her "Backwoods Barbie" album, due out Feb. 26 on Dolly Records. The tour starts April 22 in Pittsburgh. Tickets will be honored for the new dates.

"Hey, thanks for being patient," said Parton. "I'm mending very nicely and will be fit as a fiddle soon. And I'll not only have the fiddle, but the rest of the band as well. We can't wait to hit the road for our 'Backwoods Barbie' tour. We're anxious for you to see our new show and play you some of the new songs. Look forward to seeing you soon."

Last week, Parton was told by doctors to rest her back for 6 to 8 , and she is expected to fully recuperate in time for the April 22 kick-off. Her upcoming European tour (which kicks off June 13 in Sweden) was not affected. The tour had been slated to start in late February.

New tour dates are:
April 22 Pittsburgh Benedum Center
April 23 Hershey, PA Hershey Center
April 25 Uncasville, CT Mohegan Sun Arena
April 28 Fairfax, VA Patriot Center
April 29 Atlanta Fox Theatre
May 1 New York Radio City Music Hall
May 3 Atlantic City, NJ Borgata
May 5 Boston Opera House
May 7 Minneapolis Northrup Auditorium
May 8-9 Chicago Chicago Theatre
May 11 Dallas Nokia Theatre

In 2022, when she was elected to ...
CD review - Run Rose Run The Dolly Parton album, "Run, Rose, Run," is an aural companion to an original novel of the same name that the county music icon co-authored with popular novelist, James Patterson. Songs are inspired by characters in the book, and encouragement is a primary lyrical theme, from start to finish. It's simply put, one feel good collection of songs. This country star has given us a decidedly traditional country album. "Driven," for example, incorporates plenty of fiddle and ...
CD review - A Holly Dolly Christmas A Dolly Parton Christmas album seems like a natural, as Parton oftentimes comes off like a child inside an adult's body. Parton was able to rope both famous Cyruses (Miley and Billy Ray) as well Jimmy Fallon, Willie Nelson and Michael Bublé to sing with her. Perhaps, best of all, Parton had a hand in writing half of these dozen songs. Parton sounds great throughout, and into her 70s, her voice has lost none of its power.
