This book is one of those books I went into completely blind. Like blind blind.

I knew of Dolly, I knew a few of the things she has made, but this book was an impulse buy, not because I was a “fan” of Dolly.

This was a great book to go into blind. This is very much a biography, but it reads more like a radio interview than a book, Dolly is very natural sounding and very authentic because of it.

I still would not say I love all her music but I apricate Dolly on a new level and understand her role in the zeitgeist a lot more

Very informative, entertaining, and straight from the source herself; the best you can ask for in a biography.

I do recommend if you are like me and more blind to her work, get the audio book. Whenever a song is discussed, the audiobook had snips of the songs which helped in context.

If you are an established fan, I have been recommended the “picture” book to get more visual context about her stories.
