Dolly Parton hit a trifecta with her latest project Run, Rose, Run – it's a thriller, a studio album and will eventually be turned into a movie.
Parton wrote the album the same time she was writing the novel with author James Patterson.
Run, Rose, Run is about an aspiring country singer named AnnieLee. She moves to Nashville, trying to shake a dark past and make it big in music. She gets help from charismatic country star Ruthanna, who wears wigs and fake nails. Sound familiar?
"Ruthanna is very much my personality this day and time," Parton said. "And I'm hoping to get to play her in a movie that we are going to make from the book ... I don't think I have to do too much acting on that one."
Those plans are already in the works, with Reese Witherspoon announcing last month that her company, Hello Sunshine, will adapt the novel into a film.
Parton and Patterson spoke with NPR's Rachel Martin about the book, which is out now.
