In a time where female country artists are starting to re-emerge in the spotlight in country music, Ruthie Collins addresses bonafide sensation Dolly Parton for some advice. “Dear Dolly” showcases Collins’ beautiful, crystal clear, traditional country sound. The video begins with Collins singing on a street corner, collecting dollars in her guitar case then eventually finding her self on a stage surrounded by her band, playing for a standing ovation.
“I’ll keep singing my heart out / I won’t believe what they tell me / is that what you would do / if it were you / dear Dolly”
An encouraging lyric for anyone trying to make it in this is industry, “Dear Dolly” is not only a tribute to female country artists but also to the legend herself, Dolly Parton who has paved the way for so many.
