Tutte le canzoni nascondono una storia. Lei è una stella nascente, pronta a splendere. Ma è anche una ragazza braccata dal buio. Una valigia piena di sogni e la forza della sua voce: AnnieLee non ha altro, non ha risparmi né qualcuno che possa aiutarla, ma sente che è arrivato il momento di darsi una possibilità. Ha lasciato la sua casa nel Texas ed è arrivata in autostop a Nashville, la città in cui devi andare se vuoi diventare un cantante, se vuoi sfondare con la tua musica, se vuoi reclamare il tuo destino. «Trova il futuro, dimentica il passato», canta, e la sua voce non ci mette molto a farsi notare. I suoi testi che parlano di una vita dura e disagiata, così diversi dal suo carattere determinato ed esuberante, attirano le attenzioni di un’affermata cantante che si rivede in AnnieLee e, desiderando aiutarla, decide di prenderla sotto la sua ala. Ma qualcosa non va. La ragazza nasconde un segreto, è strana, è spaventata. E quel talento che brilla più di una stella potrebbe non essere sufficiente ad allontanare il buio che la insegue… anzi, potrebbe attirarlo sempre più a lei.

Una impetuosa historia repleta de riesgos y deseos Ella es una promesa de la música que canta sobre la dura vida que ha dejado atrás. Y está huyendo. Llega a Nashville para reclamar su destino. Y en Nashville podría encontrarla la oscuridad de la que ha escapado. Y destruirla.

Born in poverty in Tennessee, Dolly Rebecca Parton had ambition and determination in spades. Her first single, the ironic Dumb Blonde, launched the now legendary career of a singer-songwriter with a pure country voice and a gift for story-telling. Smart as a whip, Dolly Parton shrugged aside the male-dominated world of Nashville to command her own destiny, creating huge business enterprise in the process: She owns Dollywood theme park and other hospitality venues; she has hosted her own television programs and appeared in films with Jane Fonda, Burt Reynolds and Sylvester Stallone; her Imagination Library project sends free books to children all over the world – For Dolly, dreams are everything and nothing – you gotta roll your sleeves up and get stuck in. Collating interviews and encounters with Dolly Parton from 1967 onwards, Not Dumb Not Blonde proves just that. As in her songs, she is unfailingly entertaining, frank and feisty. These are the words of an artist and performer who, beneath the bravado, is deadly serious about her music and career, and this duality proves to be a touching, insightful and joyous read.

Nobody knows Dolly like Dolly, declares Dolly Parton. Dolly s is a rags-to-riches tale like no other. A dirt-poor Smoky Mountain childhood paved the way for the buxom blonde butterfly s metamorphosis from singer-songwriter to international music superstar. The undisputed Queen of Country Music, Dolly has sold more than 100 million records worldwide and has conquered just about every facet of the entertainment industry: music, film, television, publishing, theatre, and even theme parks. It s been more than 50 years since Dolly Parton arrived in Nashville with just her guitar and a dream. Her story has been told many times and in many ways, but never like this.Dolly on Dolly is a collection of interviews spanning five decades of her career and featuring material gathered from celebrated publications including Rolling Stone, Cosmopolitan, Playboy, and Andy Warhol s Interview magazine. Also included are interviews which have not been previously available in print. Dolly s feisty and irresistible brand of humor, combined with her playful, pull-up-a-chair-and-stay-awhile delivery, makes for a fascinating and inviting experience in downhome philosophy and storytelling. Much like her patchwork Coat of Many Colors, this book harkens back to the legendary entertainer s roots and traces her evolution, stitching it all together one piece at a time."

Dolly Parton lends the lyrics of her classic song "Coat of Many Colors" to this heartfelt picture book for young readers. Country music legend Dolly Parton''s rural upbringing in the Smoky Mountains of Tennessee provides the backdrop for this special picture book. Using lyrics from her classic song "Coat of Many Colors," the book tells the story of a young girl in need of a warm winter coat. When her mother sews her a coat made of rags, the girl is mocked by classmates for being poor. But Parton''s trademark positivity carries through to the end as the girl realizes that her coat was made with love "in every stitch." Beautiful illustrations pair with Parton''s poetic lyrics in this heartfelt picture book sure to speak to all young readers.

Using her speech as a jumping-off point, Parton explores the four great hopes she urges us to embrace: dream more, learn more, care more, and be more. She culls examples of these values from her own life as illustrations, from growing up poor in the hills of eastern Tennessee to her experiences as the iconic performer she has become today.

I am a Rainbow is a colourful upbeat picture book that encourages children of all ages to think about their feelings.

(Piano/Vocal/Guitar Artist Songbook). 30 songs from this iconic country singer-songwriter, including: Coat of Many Colors * Do I Ever Cross Your Mind * Heartbreaker * Here You Come Again * I Will Always Love You * Islands in the Stream * Jolene * Joshua * Love Is like a Butterfly * Nine to Five * Please Don''t Stop Loving Me * Tennessee Homesick Blues * Tomorrow Is Forever * Two Doors Down * Why''d You Come in Here Lookin'' like That * Yellow Roses * and more.

THE ESSENTIAL DOLLY PARTON (not to be confused with other similarly titled compilations) begins with the striking performer flaunting her charmingly assertive nature with 1966''s rollicking "Dumb Blonde," and proceeds in chronological fashion through Parton''s slew of ''70s hits, including the gentle, folk-like "Coat of Many Colors" and the gorgeous 1974 version of "I Will Always Love You." (The latter two songs, like many on this collection, were written by Parton herself.) Parton''s hits from the late ''70s, ''80s, and beyond continue on the second disc. Runaway ''80s hits "9 to 5" (from the titular film starring Parton) and "Islands in the Stream" (her Bees Gees-penned duet with Kenny Rogers) represent her commercial peak, but the remaining latter-day songs reveal that Parton''s talents--particularly her distinctive high, clear voice--were still going strong into the 2000s (most notably on her bluegrass rendition of Collective Soul''s rock hit, "Shine"). For those looking for the best overview of Parton''s career, this 37-track set is it.

A sparkling offering from this great lady of country. Our album-matching folio contains eleven titles including: Best Woman Wins * Dreams Do Come True * Eagle When She Flies * Family * Rockin'' Years * Silver and Gold * Wildest Dreams.
