Chronicle BooksDolly Parton is set to release a new book that tells the stories behind her beloved songs.
Published through Chronicle Books this fall, Dolly Parton, Songteller: My Life in Lyrics finds Dolly sharing the personal stories and memories behind the lyrics to 175 songs from her revered catalogue.
Described as a cross between a “visual memoir and annotated songbook,” fans will get an up-close-and-personal look at Dolly’s 60-years-plus career, since the book contains never-before-seen photos and memorabilia.
“A songteller is what I am, and this is my first-ever book of lyrics. So, I’ve revisited my memories and opened up my archives to share the stories and treasures behind them in a way I never have before. It’s going to be a beautiful book!” Dolly says in a statement.
The new publication follows the legendary star’s previous books, which include Coat of Many Colors, based on hit song of the same name; the cookbook Dolly’s Dixie Fixin’s: Love, Laughter and Lots of Good Food, Dream More: Celebrate the Dreamer in You and more.
Songteller will be available on November 17.
