Dolly has been recording regularly since the mid-60s and almost every major hit she has ever had (and quite a few minor ones too) she wrote or co-wrote. Somehow this important component of her overall musical skillset is all too frequently overlooked by the public at large, who know Dolly for her luminous public image and gregarious personality without necessarily realising that she is also a brilliant songwriter. Dolly Parton wrote hit songs for other artists before she really had any hit records of her own. The ink in her pen has never gone dry and although she's not as prolific as she once was, she still writes songs - these days mostly for herself - that other artists are happy to record. A generous sampling of her best work from more than half a century of song-writing is collected here in Ace's latest instalment of our long-running and highly-regarded songwriter series. It would have been easy to fill this compilation with covers of her songs by Dolly's country peers but, as can be seen from the track listing, her work has been embraced by a variety of artists - from Percy Sledge to Nana Mouskouri to Tina Turner to the Incredible String Band - and across a variety of genres. The versions used here have been selected to demonstrate the breadth of Dolly's catalogue and to show how comfortably her songs fit any artist who chooses to cut them. As always, our CD booklet overflows with rare images and a generously-worded track-by-track annotation by compiler and scribe Tony Rounce.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cdiv data-bt-autogen\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTracklist:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e9 To 5 - Dolly Parton\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNickels And Dimes - Buck Owens\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHere I Am - Percy Sledge\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIn The Good Old Days (When Times Were Bad) -\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Everly Brothers\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTwo Doors Down - Zella Lehr\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMy Blue Tears - The Incredible String Band\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDown From Dover - Sally Timms ; Jon Langford\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTouch Your Woman - Margie Joseph\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eKentucky Gambler - Merle Haggard ; The Strangers\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCoat Of Many Colors - Emmylou Harris\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLight Of A Clear Blue Morning - Glen Campbell\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDon't Let It Trouble Your Mind - Rhiannon Giddens\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDo I Ever Cross Your Mind -\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eChet Atkins Featuring Dolly Parton\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eI Will Always Love You - Linda Ronstadt\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eI Lived So Fast And Hard - Porter Wagoner\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eJolene (Live 'Under Great White Northern Lights' Version) -\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe White Stripes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMy Tennessee Mountain Home - Maria Muldaur\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLittle Sparrow - Bettye Lavette\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePut It Off Until Tomorrow - Bill Phillips\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMost Of All Why - Holly Dunn\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eI'm In No Condition - Hank Williams Jr.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLove Is Like A Butterfly - Nana Mouskouri\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWith Bells On - Ru Paul Featuring Michelle Visage\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThere'll Always Be Music - Tina Turner\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"832","offers":[{"title":"New","offer_id":50571192992040,"sku":"02966710802","price":22.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0933\/3833\/7576\/files\/4192899-2958921.jpg?v=1763989482","url":"https:\/\/waterloorecords.com\/products\/various-parton-dolly-way-to-make-a-living-dolly-son-cd-02966710802","provider":"Waterloo Records","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
