Drinking With Dolly
Country artist Stephanie Quayle has recorded quite a beautiful version of "Drinking With Dolly". Rachel Proctor and I wrote the song together a couple of years ago, triggered by a conversation about how much fun it would've been to be a part of the movement of strong, sassy women in country music in the early '70s. We miss hearing those voices on the radio!
Dolly Parton has apparently heard the song and says she loves it...so that's a pretty cool feeling!
Songwriters aren't often contacted at all by the artists who record their songs, let alone included in the process, but Stephanie very kindly invited both Rachel and me to be in the music video. Unfortunately I was out on tour at the time, but click to watch it below and you'll see some great footage of Rachel and her daughter Olivia right at the beginning!
