Dolly Parton: The Songwriters

Dolly Parton: The Songwriters

Dolly Parton has one of country music’s most memorable voices—but she’s also one of Nashville’s most celebrated songwriters, drawing inspiration from her time in the church, her upbringing in the Great Smoky Mountains, and people’s inner lives. She’s channelled workaday rhythms on “9 to 5”, tender feelings on “I Will Always Love You” and sickness-inducing envy on “Jolene”—and her songs ring true no matter what emotion they’re conveying.
