DVD and CD Two-Disc Set, An Evening With...Dolly, now available at Cracker Barrel®

LEBANON, Tenn.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Now fans can sit back and enjoy An Evening with… Dolly as often as they please. All that's needed is a copy of this first-ever Cracker Barrel exclusive two-disc DVD and CD that retails for $11.99. Watch from an audience perspective or go behind the scenes to see all the excitement backstage during a Dolly Parton concert. The DVD and CD are packed with some of Dolly's most popular songs, performed live in London during her sold-out O2 arena concert, including "Coat of Many Colors," "9 to 5," and "Jolene."

Concert goers were treated to Dolly's epic hits "Here You Come Again" and "I Will Always Love You." Both are included on the 15-track DVD and the 13-track CD. The CD also has the previously unreleased live bonus tracks "Shattered Image" and "My Tennessee Mountain Home." The DVD shares the best moments, the best Dolly stories, and the best vantage point from which to see all the action that takes place backstage during a concert. An Evening With…Dolly is available exclusively at all Cracker Barrel Old Country Store® locations and online at crackerbarrel.com/music.

"The decision to work with Dolly on this CD project with the added bonus of a DVD component was an easy one to make," said Julie Craig, Cracker Barrel Marketing Manager. "Dolly always delivers a first-rate performance and is well known for her ability to create a genuine connection with her audience. The DVD captures her spirit and all the excitement of a live concert, so offering it with the CD provides a unique opportunity we think will really resonate with our guests."

"I think my fans and Cracker Barrel guests have a great deal in common even when I'm performing in Europe," says Dolly. "I'm just an old fashioned Tennessee girl, so no matter where I am, that part of me reaches straight into the audience and we have a grand old time together. I'm happy to be able to bring this London concert back home to share with Cracker Barrel's guests."
