Robotswithpersonality
Dolly Parton, Songteller: My Life in Lyrics | Dolly Parton, Robert K Oermann
post image
Mehso-so

A pleasant meander. Sort of an extended interview/conversation, using individual songs to talk either specifically about the story behind the song or some aspect of Dolly's life.
I'll admit to wishing the production had been a bit different: the beginnings of songs start the various conversations, and maybe it's a rights or length concern, but after a while you just find yourself wishing you could hear the whole song 1/?

Robotswithpersonality 2/? instead of a fade out clip. Acknowledged, I could just pause and go listen to the song, but that does tend to break up the listening experience....
The other somewhat jarring feature were the interstitials not in Dolly's voice - introducing changes in subject matter that are not fronted by a different song. I can understand the organizing principle behind sectioning off and clearly labelling such shifts in topics but the voice doing so
13h
Robotswithpersonality 3/3 is almost robotic, not melodic, and is an unpleasant contrast to Parton's drawl and occasional drift into song.
And on the really, really subjective end of critiques, evidently this awesome person is a lot more religious/spiritual than I knew and God/gospel talk is just distancing to this atheist reader.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

This was a fun and quick read that touches on the impact of Taylor Swift‘s music (so far) on a micro and macro level. It kind of jumps all around and I didn‘t always fully agree with the author‘s song interpretations/opinions (although that‘s the beauty of art). I did also learn some new things. It was especially satisfying to listen to this in celebration of Taylor gaining ownership of all of her masters! 🎧

This book took me some time to get through because, life. It is a good examination of what it means to be a viral sensation and the positives and negatives that come with it.
