Sitting With Gianluca

[Repeated from Sunday 3pm.] Interviews and informed portraits of contemporary American musicians with our stateside correspondent Gianluca Tramontana (in temporary and voluntary exile in Marseille). This week: a tribute to Dolly Parton. Though Dolly Parton meant many things to many people, she considered herself a songwriter first and wrote over 3,000 songs throughout her career. Gianluca takes a deep look into her remarkable writing by exploring her songs about suicide, still birth, a love letter to her dead husband, her father's broken work hands, and as many as can be fitted into 59 minutes.
