Dolly Parton’s 20 best songs according to Hallgeir.

This was hard. It was supposed to be a top 10 list, but I just couldn’t cut the list down to just ten songs.

15 songs written by Dolly Parton, 1 by W. Guthrie and 4 traditional songs. The first 15 are orginal Parton compositions.

Dolly Parton and Mick Jagger:

Take away the glitz and the bling,  what’s left is a tremendous artist. Dolly Parton is one of the best performers out there and she is one of the all time best songwriters. 20 songs from a singer and songwriter that I consider to be world class.
