Although she lives just a few miles south of Nashville's downtown Ryman Auditorium, on the rare occasions Dolly Parton is in town, she is, by her own admission, something of a homebody. But this past weekend, the music icon ventured out to play two sold-out concerts at the Ryman to benefit causes dear to her and to her entire road team.
Before Parton hit the stage, her producer and musical director, Kent Wells performed a song he wrote in tribute to his late nephew, Dustin J. Wells, who was killed in a car accident in 2005.
