RaveNashville SceneWriter Dolly comes through in Songteller. Not only do we get to marvel at lyrics from a small sampling of the 3,000 songs she’s written, but we also get to read Parton’s take on what inspired the songs, where she was when she wrote them and what they mean to her now. Despite the book’s gorgeous and glittering embossed cover and coffee-table format, Songteller reads like a memoir. Parton’s voice—emotive and funny—kept me turning pages.
