Known for her vivacious voice as well as her figure, country star Dolly Parton will perform tonight at the Fox Theatre. The rhinestone diva is on tour in support of her latest CD, "Those Were the Days." The disc features a dozen covers of some of Parton's favorite songs from the '60s and '70s. Many of the songs feature guest appearances by the songwriter, including "Where Do the Children Play" with Yusuf Islam (Cat Stevens) and "Me and Bobby MeGee" with Kris Kristofferson. Other songs feature today's shining country and bluegrass artists such as Keith Urban, Alison Krauss and Nickel Creek. Tonight's concert starts tonight at 7:30 and tickets cost $35, $55 and $75. The Fox Theatre is at 2211 Woodward Ave. in Detroit. Call (313) 983-6611.
