Kiwi singer-songwriter Mel Parsons joins Nick Mills on the show this morning to chat the huge success of her new album, upcoming tour and reflect on the impact of Dolly Parton in the industry. 

Parson's newest album Castle Hill is her first to reach Number 1 in the New Zealand charts. 

Nick finds out how she juggles raising four kids while touring? How has the industry changed over her career?

And after the passing of legend Dolly Parton, what is the legacy she leaves behind in not just the country genre but music as a whole?

She will perform Castle Hill and other hits at the Opera House in Wellington on Saturday September 5th. Get tickets on Ticketmaster NZ.
