Synopsis

A Recorded Books Audio Original production of songs and stories performed by Dolly herself, Dolly Parton, Songteller: My Life in Lyrics goes beyond the glitz, glamour, and rhinestones to the warmth, heart, and soul of a treasured pop-culture icon.

In this exclusive audio performance, the ten-time Grammy Award–winning artist weaves her words with music and memories to give listeners the stories behind the stories of her most cherished songs. And with some 3,000 songs to her credit, Dolly uses her gift for lyrics to connect to people of all genders, generations, and geographies.

Showcasing nearly 100 of her most popular songs, including “Jolene,” “I Will Always Love You,” “9 to 5,” and “Coat of Many Colors,” to name a few, this one-of-a-kind audio experience delivers answers to fans’ most burning questions: How close did Dolly come to singing “I Will Always Love You” as a duet with Elvis? How did she become an actress? And exactly who was Jolene?

Dolly Parton, Songteller: My Life in Lyrics is a must-have memoir for fans of country music, music history, and (of course!) Dolly herself.

This was a great autobiography read by the author. Dolly was so funny in her life. She started as a share cropper's daughter in TN. She was the forth child of twelve. She had a dream of stardom and followed that dream. I highly recommend this book to all. Enjoy and Be Blessed. Diamond......more

Goodreads review by Rose on January 22, 2023

What a charming description of a larger-than-life entertainer. Whenever I read a memoir, I'm hungry to discover the voice of the author. This one strikes me as 100% show biz personality, a distinctive one. Yet Dolly Parton's persona fascinates me, and she's so consistently herself. Meaning, herself in......more

Goodreads review by Kelly on February 10, 2012

Today, most celebrity biographies are ghostwritten --and it shows. They could almost be written using a Mad Libs sheet, just filling in the relevant details for the star in question. Dolly wrote this book herself, and her singular voice just shines. Anyone who has heard her on a talk show (or listene......more
