I definitely recommend listening to the audiobook! It had sort of a podcast feel to it where it didn’t sound like Dolly was reading straight from the book, but telling her story.

If you want to read this, get the audiobook. The addition of clips of songs and sound bites really add to the overall story.

Highly recommend this as an audio book. It's more like a causal interview with Dolly describing her life and the stories behind her songs.

She has such an interesting life and her love for her faith,family and friends is clear as she tells her stories.

Not sure how this works in print, but the audiobook sounds like a (long) interview. I enjoyed it but some parts felt a bit repetitive. I think it needed a better editor. I do love Dolly tho.

Coolest lady ever?
I loved this in audio format. Hearing snippets of the songs was a great addition.

Having consumed a lot of Dolly info over the years I did not learn much new from this. However, the book as an object is a wonder to behold. It's beautiful and reading about Dolly talking about her songs is always a pleasure.

We don’t deserve Dolly! ❤️

I found myself going to my music apps to look up songs as I read this. Maybe in parts I wanted more biography than song lyrics. Dolly talks about the lyrics or who she collaborated with or what was going on in her life when she wrote each song in the book in a page or two summary.
maybe the title songteller should have given me a better idea that it would be moderately biographical but not a full biography.
