    About This Album

    Dolly Parton released Heartsongs: Live from Home on September 27, 1994 through Columbia Records and her own Blue Eye imprint. The recording captures a spirited performance filmed at her Dollywood theme park in Pigeon Forge, Tennessee. This live album blends her signature country style with traditional folk melodies from the Smoky Mountains, featuring twenty-three tracks that highlight her deep connection to her heritage. The setlist includes original compositions alongside covers of songs passed down through generations.

    Notable moments include Mairéad Ní Mhaonaigh contributing Irish vocals to "Barbara Allen" and the world premiere recording of Parton's "To Daddy," a song Emmylou Harris had previously turned into a top-three hit. The track also features the campy "PMS Blues," which quickly became a fan favorite and received significant radio play for its humorous take on women's health issues. Parton guides listeners through a "Smoky Mountain adventure" with narration that incorporates footage from her childhood home.
