About this listen

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 10-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.

A wonderful book

I am so glad I had the chance to listen to this book especially as it is narrated by Dolly Parton herself. I have always admired her and loved her songs.Now that I now more about her and the lovely songs she sings makes the whole image complete and makes me admire he even more. She is a wonderful woman and I recommend this book to anyone who wants to find out more about this complex personality of our days.

Lovely lady with lovely stories

It’s just really enjoyable listening to Dolly Parton. As if she was singing when talking. A lovely lady with a lot of wisdom and care, and a life full of music.

Wonderful and inspiring

Such a fascinating journey through so many stories of Dolly’s life told through her songs. I’m sure reading this book would be good but you can’t beat listening to Dolly tell it her way. I absolutely loved every moment and will be listening to it again with my 9 year old daughter who loves Dolly as much as I do. I throughly recommend this joyous book about the greatest song writer there has ever been

Beautiful look into Dolly’s thoughts

I love the way this book starts with a song and then Doll’s thoughts on that song.
Her live is so interesting and she is so straight talking it is a glorious look into the mind of a strong, independent but kind and loving, fun woman. Fantastic Thankyou
