This album does not feature Dolly, but is significant because of its rarity. The album features Dolly's mother, Avie Lee, and her sisters, Stella, Cassie, and Willadeene. It was recorded and released in 1968 by Inspiration Records. It appears on eBay from time to time and sells for $300 or more. The album was made available for digital download and streaming on December 20, 2024.

Songwriting credits are adapted from online research and ASCAP listings. Some of the credits listed on the LP labels are inaccurate. Additionally, Avie Lee and Willadeene's names are misspelled on the back cover as "Avielee/Avielle and Willadeen."

• Sisters (duet with Dolly Parton) 4:46

Notes: This album was recorded in 1988 and 1989 for Airborne Records. One of the tracks was released as a single in 1988, ("I Don't Miss You Like I Used To") but the album was never released. Stella would eventually release the album in the early 2000s on CD through her website, and later as a digital download on all digital music platforms.

Notes from Stella's website: "This is a CD I recorded for another label that went bankrupt before I got the album finished. Needless to say, I was disappointed. Anyway, I thought it was a good album. We had some good songs, great pickers and Steve Messer engineered and helped me produce. We had a lot of fun and high expectations of getting my recording career back on track. I was lucky enough to secure these masters on a trip to the Midem Music Festival from a record company that had licensed them from my bankrupt record company. Again, they came back home to me just like lost children. I recorded this project at LSI Studios in Nashville." — Stella Parton (May 10, 2008)
