This book is a case study in how an album is sold and a persona constructed. The album had a complex relationship to the country music genre at a time when the genre was in the middle of major sonic and cultural shifts, and it represents how country music saw itself. This question of identity was especially relevant since \u003ci\u003eWhite Limozeen\u003c\/i\u003e was produced by Ricky Skaggs, the bluegrass prodigy who was in the middle of his own genre-widening experiments. The album reflects dense and complex production, shredding ideas of purity, studio craft, slickness, and authenticity. In it, Dolly seems to be imagining the limits of her own personae - the country girl, the blonde burlesque, the pop legend, the gospel singer. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eTo study this album is to investigate Dolly's calculated role in fashioning her image into the icon she is today.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eSteacy Easton\u003c\/b\u003e has been writing about country music, sexuality, gender, and politics for more than 15 years for academic and popular presses.
