Beyond the Fringe: Orville Peck.

"For a long time in the country space, Dolly was probably our big ge st representation as far as just being an ally", Peck says.

While Peck was a bit too young to have picked up this issue himself, Parton was always a major influence in his life as far back as he can remember. [Extracted from the article]
