Bob's appreciation of Dolly Parton and her music goes way back so its only right he honours the first lady of country music for her 80th birthday! Dolly was prolific during the 1970s - hear a clip of Bob's most recent conversation with Dolly and a special 70s Country Classic. Also on the show, Janis Ian is the focus for 'Best of the Test', with a performance from 1974, plus more tracks from Bob's 'Rock Date Diary'. To listen on most smart speakers, just say “Sounds of the 70s with Bob Harris".
