She Come By It Natural

This is a collection of 4 essays that were published online in 2017 and as I was reading the book I realized that I had definitely already read at least some, if not all, of them online. In her intro, Smarsh notes that she hasn't really updated these and they serve as a time capsule of 2016-7. It was interesting revisiting these since I do think the general Dollysance has only grown since then, with more people generally approving of Dolly without knowing many details about her life/music.

Anyway, it's kind of weird as a book-artifact but still, interesting and enjoyable essays on a topic dear to my heart.
