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.©2020 Dolly Parton (P)2020 Recorded Books Art of Storytelling Entertainment & Celebrities Entertainment & Performing Arts Music Celebrity Heartfelt Inspiring Thought-Provoking Celebrity Bio

I really enjoyed listening to Dollys story. I learned a lot eg that she had written 3000 songs. Snippets of songs let me hear several I had never heard before. Also some TV movies. I now have some research to do to find them as I've been a fan for years

Very Interesting

I really liked this and found out many things I had never known. My Mum loved Dolly and we watched a lot of different things before she died. This was lovely to listen to, and reminisce that special time.

Great run through Dolly’s life

I’ve loved her music for years. I’ve been to see her live. But this book has been a step into the brilliance that is Dolly. I had no idea how prolific her song writing has been nor just how entertaining to hear her tell the story, her story, behind so many of her songs. Uplifting, charming and oh so admirable!

Just love Dolly!

Throughout this audiobook there are snippets of Dolly's songs played and it adds so much to the experience, I can't imagine enjoying the book half as much without it. Dolly is a fascinating person and it is great to hear her voice and her perspective. she comes across very genuine. Not a whole lot of ground breaking info or gossip, but still lovely to hear straight from Dolly herself. You can hear the passion in her voice. Worthwhile listen for Dolly fans, songwriters, musicians, country music fans and any young woman wanting to be inspired.

Can't imagine 'reading' this any other way
