Dolly Parton All the Songs: The Story Behind Every Track is a comprehensive 608-page hardcover book that chronicles Dolly Parton's nearly 60-year music career from beginning to end. Written by Simon Benoît, Damien Somville, and Lalie Walker — three longtime music journalists and self-described Dolly megafans — this volume is the first entry in Black Dog & Leventhal's bestselling "All the Songs" series to focus on a female performer.

Organized chronologically, the book covers every album and every song Dolly Parton has ever released. It features more than 400 color and black-and-white photographs, including some never-before-seen images, providing a vivid visual journey through her life and career. Each track entry includes behind-the-scenes recording details, musician credits per track, and the fascinating stories behind the songwriting process.

The book follows Dolly's origins in Tennessee's Great Smoky Mountains through her rise to country music superstardom and global fame. Highlights include little-known details about her working relationship with Porter Wagoner — she wrote "I Will Always Love You" about him — as well as her forays into film with roles in 9 to 5, Steel Magnolias, and the Netflix series Heartstrings.
