Dolly Parton-themed symphony show will start touring next year

• The orchestrations promise to present Parton's music at an appropriately grand scale, befitting of Music City royalty.

What's next: The show will debut on March 20, 2025, with the Nashville Symphony before touring.

💭 Adam's thought bubble: There's a reason Parton is featured on Beyoncé's genre-defying album "Cowboy Carter." Like Beyoncé, Parton has repeatedly plunked herself into unfamiliar musical terrain.

• After releasing a 30-track rock album last year, it is thrilling to see her zigzag again.
• I wish she'd appear in person at these shows, but she stopped touring to be close to her husband.
