Dolly Parton's Song 'Color Me America' Is An Independence Day Anthem

Jun 27, 2020

Dolly Parton might be a global success, but she is still a down-home Tennessee woman. She writes and sings songs about lessons she learned growing up in the Smoky Mountains of Tennessee. It is her claim to fame.

Her For God and Country album goes above and beyond. The album, released in 2003, is concerned with patriotism. She hits the tunes with perfection. One of the album's songs, Color Me America, is a true Independence Day Anthem.

When Dolly's fans think of her, many immediately think of her fame, her benevolence, and her trademark vocals. Seriously, though, Dolly is also one of the best songwriters of all time, regardless of the genre she writes in. Nothing can show that more than a lesser-known of Parton's songs, Color Me America. The song fits on an album with gospel music like Whispering Hope, and patriot music like God Bless the USA.

As fans might come to expect from Parton, Color Me America is a song about pure patriotism. It is about being proud of where you came from, and it does not show any vengeance or biases. Before your family cookout this July 4, make sure you spend a moment with Dolly and listen to Color Me America.

The song Color Me America is becoming a classic song for those who celebrate the nation's birthday. It has become essential to many people in the years since 9/11 to celebrate July 4 and show their patriotism. What better way to celebrate the Fourth than with a patriotic series of songs?
