On getting the Beatles back together: ‘I always loved Let it Be and I recorded the song without them. But then I thought, wow, wouldn’t it be great if Paul McCartney would agree to play piano and sing on it? Then I thought, wouldn’t it even be greater to have Ringo Starr? Cause that’s the last of the Beatles. And I just asked if they’d do it and they said, yeah – I was excited to death.’
On what her 9 – 5 job would have been if she hadn’t made it as a singer: ‘I used to think of what I would do if I hadn’t made it and I think I would have been a beautician. I got to play one in Steel Magnolias but I really would have been one because I’m very good at hair. I would have still wanted to continue wearing my hair and make-up like I want too and then I would have got a discount on bleach and make up or shampoo! But I can picture myself being a beautician that why it was so easy for me playing Truvy in the Steel Magnolias movie because I felt like I knew that world.’
A special episode of the whole chat – ‘When Dave Met Dolly’ – will be airing on Absolute Country, 7pm, Sunday July 9th
