A Rare Encounter With Dolly Parton’s Elusive Husband, Carl Dean: What a Journalist Learned From Her Glimpse of the Couple at Home
Alanna Nash Editor’s note: Few journalists ever got to meet Carl Dean, the husband of Dolly Parton, who died Monday at age 82. He was renowned for his reclusiveness, developing a legend — probably in spite of himself — as perhaps the least-sighted but most-speculated-about spouse of any enduring superstar in the last half-century of pop culture. Even within the music industry, few had ever encountered Dean, who famously went to a BMI dinner early in Parton’s career and hated it so much he made her vow he’d never have to attend such a function with her again. But he was not Bigfoot but a real person, despite an invisibility that made him seem more myth than man to Parton’s curious public. One journalist who did meet him was veteran country music journalist Alanna Nash, who got a rare invitation into the home of the singer and her husband in the late ‘70s. Here, the author of the Colonel Tom Parker biography “The Colonel” recalls encountering an initially suspicious, eventually chatty Dean, along with getting some insight into his playful personality from one of his high school friends… In the winter of 1976-77, Country Music magazine assigned me to do a cover story on Dolly Parton for the May 1977 issue.
Nashville is the capital and most populous city of the U.S. state of Tennessee. The city is the county seat of Davidson County and is located on the Cumberland River. It is the 24th most-populous city in the United States. Named for Francis Nash, a general of the Continental Army during the American Revolutionary War, the city was founded in 1779. The city grew quickly due to its strategic location as a port on the Cumberland River and, in the 19th century, a railroad center. Nashville seceded with Tennessee during the American Civil War; in 1862 it was the first state capital in the Confederacy to fall to Union troops. After the war, the city reclaimed its position and developed a manufacturing base.
