Dolly Parton, Songteller: My Life in Lyrics
by Dolly Parton
I read this in conjunction with [b:Yours Cruelly, Elvira: Memoirs of the Mistress of the Dark|55809879|Yours Cruelly, Elvira Memoirs of the Mistress of the Dark|Cassandra Peterson|https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1617706442l/55809879._SY75_.jpg|87022089] and the two together were a wonderful pairing since, like everyone else in my generation, plus some of those in the tail end of the generation before me and the beginning of the generation after, I've always associated Dolly and Elvira.
This is less a memoir or autobiography and more a long interview thematically designed around Dolly's songs, specifically the ones she loves most.
There’s a lot of circling back, sometimes repetitively, to specific moments, thoughts, or people, and not in a logical fashion. It's almost as if the person editing the content didn't know how to collate said content in a more organized fashion. It could have been edited better so that each part was a full story, an album, if you will, instead of stories that were then repeated later, sometimes verbatim, in a filler-ish fashion.
Regardless, this is absolutely worth listening to.
There is something just so comforting about Dolly Parton. Is it because she has been a visible presence throughout my entire life, from the records next to my grandparents' turntable to my closest friend's father's absolute crush on her to her Imagination Library? Or is it just Dolly saturation from the 60's on? Probably both. Whatever the case, to quote Dolly, "I will always love you" and I am glad to have been fortunate to live during her era.
