I freaking love Dolly Parton. She is a national treasure. An amazing singer, storyteller, actress and all around good person. She is also a bad ass business person who has always just been fiercely herself no matter what others said or thought about it. She seems such a kind and wise person. Of course I adore her free books for children program too. I met her when I was a child but was too young to remember it. We need more Dolly in the world.

I listened to this one on audio last week. I‘m not a huge country music fan (even after living in NC for almost 20 years) but I like Dolly Parton. I love listening to her speak, she has such a soothing voice. I loved listening to how she creates her songs & the experiences she‘s had. My favorite quote was: “I might look like a show horse but I‘m a work horse.”She‘s a treasure & I‘m happy that she did this book to preserve her greatness. #bookspin

This is the second most adorable audiobook I've ever listened to!! Betty White still has the top spot. I don't listen to country music but who doesn't love Dolly?! The audio has basically curated interviews with Dolly along with snippets of the songs she's talking about. That's super helpful because I really only know 3 or 4 songs.... 😵‍💫😵‍💫😵‍💫

vivastory I only know a couple too, but I always turn up the radio when Jolene comes on 10mo

I was in the mood for something lighter and more escapism as the real world news is so depressing again… this was just perfect for that. Dolly being asked about different songs, career experiences, lyrics and then listening to her answer in her own voice, the uplifting happy bubbly voice we all know and associate with her. I might not know every song discussed, some I‘ll definitely look up now, but I definitely enjoyed this joyful listen. ⤵️

Riveted_Reader_Melissa ↪️ it really is a shame she turned down that induction into The Rock & Roll Hall of Fame, she deserves a place there. It‘s sad to me that she couldn‘t see that. 😔 2y

She comes across as fun, positive, kind and caring and I loved how all her stories were interwoven with her songs and lyrics.

Very good. I think because I listened to this rather than read the physical book it helped to enhance my experience of this book. Even though I have missed out on the beautiful pictures that the book provided I think that because it is a story of her songs and how her life has influenced them the audiobook version of this brings it all together in a way that a print book wouldn't. ⬇️

Birdsong28 Learnt some things that I didn't know about her as I have only listened to a few songs but I will now go back and listen to them all. #Audible 3y

I liked this book a lot. The audiobook feels like an extended interview, with a male narrator bringing up an issue and Dolly going into depth on it. There are some things that she won‘t answer yes or no to — like whether or not she and Porter Waggoner ever had an affair — but that lack of an answer doesn‘t feel like a cheat. I also learned how much of Dolly‘s identity was wrapped up in her being a songwriter rather than a singer.

Suet624 I waited on Porter Wagonner when I lived in Nashville. No one knows who he is anymore though. 3y
KathyWheeler @Suet624 that‘s hard to fathom because he was so big at one time! 3y

I was going to listen to Jenny Lawson‘s new book, but on the heels of Solutions and Other Problems, I needed something a little lighter. Dolly Parton, Songteller was my choice because I‘ve developed an appreciation for Dolly in my old age.#audiowalk

mcctrish I‘m not a country music fan but something about Dolly just struck me. Maybe it was her commitment to her vibe 🤷🏻‍♀️ I love Patsy Cline too 3y
KathyWheeler @mcctrish Patsy Cline is great. I was this teenager who only listened to rock; then I went to college and my boyfriend there was a music major. He introduced me to all kinds of artists in genres I claimed not to like. Now I‘m always open to various types of music — I just look for the artists who appeal to me. I think I used to believe Dolly was fake, but I‘ve learned over the years that she totally owns who she is — I love that. 3y

🎧 Audible $3.95, Daily Deal today.

Dolly talking with a male voiceover filling in with questions. The importance of telling a story thru lyrics & TONS of song samples!

From growing up in the mountains of TN with 11 siblings to being married for over 50 years.

I learned a lot about her, her family, friends, songs, other artists. I‘m not a fan of country music but she seems genuine & nice .. that‘s why I bought this. Not disappointed.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Twainy @reggie 😆😆😆 it‘s the first song I thought of!! Like I said I‘m not a big country music fan but she seems like a nice lady. Great now I‘m gonna have that song in my head. 😝 3y

Twainy @kremi she talks about lyrics and where some of her songs came from as they tell the story of her life & when she talks about a specific song they play a 10 second snippet of that song. She seems like a people person & very genuine. It‘s definitely not my type of music but it‘s an interesting fun audiobook. 3y
kremi When it comes to country music, her name is the first thing that comes to mind - because of the many songs and videos played at home. And then there are the names of Willie Nelson, Chris Christopherson, Kenny Rodgers, Blake Shelton and Cody Jinx.I found new reasons to like her. Her efforts to reduce illiteracy have directed her efforts to a program that distributes books through her organization, Imagination Library. 3y
Twainy @kremi yes! She seemed very honest when she talked about her father & the motivation behind her efforts to reduce illiteracy. After listening to the book I found myself Googling & humming Jolene thanks to @Reggie 😆 3y
kremi also dream of seeing Dolly Parton's museum. But since I am from Bulgaria, this will not happen easily.🙄 3y
Twainy @kremi 😆 I think Dollywood is in Tennessee ... I‘ve never been there & what makes it worse is that I could probably drive there in 12 hours. Disney World is twice as far & I‘ve been there multiple times. Still, maybe someday Dollywood. 3y

She's too classy to actually say it, so I will, that Porter Wagoner was a douchebag and was holding her back.

One of my favorite things to read about is how really successful people work. In Songteller Dolly Parton talks about her songwriting and how so many of her songs came about. I found it fascinating that for all the things she‘s famous for she really seems to consider it all to be in support of her songwriting. Now off to listen to 9 to 5 on repeat for a while.

This was as delightful as I thought it would be. 100+ very short "spoken essays" (read by Dolly, of course) about her songs. I've always said that she's one of the best songwriters/storytellers to have ever lived. And her memory for detail is astounding - some of these anecdotes happened 50 years ago. Any Tennessean will tell you what a treasure Dolly is. HIGHLY recommend on audio.

Dolly is a great singer, songwriter, and humanitarian. This book spans her career from her Smokey Mountain childhood to her multimedia success today. Full of song lyrics and photos, Dolly gives insight into what she was thinking when she wrote each song and musings on her career and life.

The #audiobook features Dolly singing and talking, but the ebook was the right choice for me because I wanted to see her photos & physically read her lyrics. ⬇️

Megabooks ⬆️ I‘m more a casual Dolly fan and still very much enjoyed this. She‘s a smart, thoughtful woman, and I appreciated her insights. #bookwithphotos #booked2021 @Cinfhen @BarbaraTheBibliophage @4thhouseontheleft this is my actual #doublespin @TheAromaofBooks 3y

Two, and I hate to say this Britt, I‘m not a huge fan of the East Tennessee twang. I like middle Tennessee, but not East. And I know because I lived there! 😬 but I‘m really enjoying the ebook. 3y
britt_brooke @Cinfhen And there are tons of song recording snippets. You‘ll like it! I still want to see all the beautiful photos, though. I need to see if my library has a copy. 3y
Crazeedi @Megabooks they were great friends 3y
Crazeedi @britt_brooke I'm going to look for audio! 3y
britt_brooke @Crazeedi Hope you enjoy! 😍 3y
Centique I‘m on a real Dolly Parton trip over the past few months, I think I‘m listening to/singing along with Jolene most days! I had forgotten that song and then someone in my social media brought it up a few years ago, reminding me of just how wonderful Dolly is - gosh I love that song. (My parents were really into country music) Cant believe she might have written two hits in one day! 3y
Megabooks @Centique right?? It‘s just so amazing!! 3y
