Dolly Parton All the Songs : The Story Behind Every Track
Dolly Parton - Book - by D.Somville, L.Walker, S.Benoit
(2024)
Dolly Parton All the Songs is an album-by-album, track-by-track deep
dive into the almost 60 year career of a musical icon. This completist's
guide features more than 400 photographs, and tells the little-known
stories behind how each of Dolly's albums came together, including
behind-the-scenes details about the recording of each track, the
musicians involved, and the songwriting process. Organized
chronologically, and covering every album and every song that Dolly has
ever released, Dolly Parton All the Songs is the result of years of
research by three Dolly megafans and longtime music journalists.
Beginning with a childhood famously spent making music with her family
in Tennessee's Great Smoky Mountains, Dolly Parton All the Songs follows
along as the country music superstar conquers Nashville, Hollywood, and
then the world with her captivating music, unforgettable style, and
unmatched humor and kindness. At 608 pages, Dolly Parton All the Songs
is filled with amazing photographs of Dolly in all her glory, and it
features tons of fascinating details about Dolly's recording process,
including which musicians appeared on each track, and little-known
details about her working relationship with Porter Wagoner (she wrote
the classic track "I Will Always Love You" about him), as well as
looking at her forays into film stardom with appearances in classic
movies like 9 to 5, Steel Magnolias, and the recent Netflix series,
Heartstrings. This is a must-have book for any fan of Dolly Parton and
country music.
