Welcome to The Dolly Parton Discography!
This website is dedicated to exploring the discography of Dolly Parton, the undisputed Queen of Country Music!
This page provides an overview of the website and explains how the discography is organized.
ALBUMS
The albums section is split up into eight categories: studio albums, extended plays, live albums, soundtrack albums, compilation albums, audiobooks, radio albums, and other album appearances. Each release is represented with its own page featuring information about the album. Due to the high number of Dolly compilation albums released over the years, they are split up by decade and link to their respective Discogs listing, unless the album featured new material, in these cases the releases have their own page here.
SINGLES
The singles section is split up by decade and features the most complete listing of Dolly's singles ever complied. It includes all original singles in addition to any singles that were re-released to promote compilation albums. Each single's page includes the US release (where applicable) along with any foreign release picture sleeves. Occasionally, a foreign release included a different B-side to the US release, in these cases the foreign release track listing is also included.
RELEASE DATES
All release dates are US release dates unless otherwise noted. The exact release date for some older releases (1959-1980s) are unknown and have been estimated based on review dates in Billboard, Cashbox, and Record World magazines or chart debut dates, and are as precise as they can be without official confirmation from the record labels.
TEXT
The text on the album and single pages is almost entirely original work. I worked for several years cleaning up many of Dolly's album pages on Wikipedia, so much of this material was previously published there. The text has been slightly modified from what was published on Wikipedia. I would like to also acknowledge anyone who contributed to Dolly's album pages on Wikipedia prior to my working on them. Their contributions laid the groundwork for much of what I wrote. All text on this website is released under the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike 4.0 International License and may be copied, distributed, and/or modified.
ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
The following websites were invaluable resources in compiling the information and images for this website:
Dollymania for a fantastic Dolly news archive dating back to 1998;
World Radio History for an archive of Billboard, Cashbox, and Record World magazines;
45cat for label scans and picture sleeves of Dolly's 45 singles;
and
Discogs for compilation album artwork and a few single picture sleeves;
I have done my best to give credit for all album and single art scans which did not come from iTunes, Spotify, Amazon, or some other official source. If you see a picture which was originally uploaded by you, please send an email and I would be more than happy to give you credit or remove the picture.
All album covers are copyrighted to their respective owners and are reproduced here in a sufficient resolution for commentary and identification, but lower resolution than the original image, and are intended for educational purposes only. Their use here is believed to qualify as fair use under the copyright law of the United States. If you are the owner of any image on this site and wish to have it removed, please send an email and the image will be removed ASAP.
If you have any additions, suggestions, or corrections, please don’t hesitate to send an email and let me know! For any corrections, please provide the corrected information and a source to go along with it.
I hope you enjoy exploring Dolly's extensive discography!
