The ACM Poet’s Award recognizes a songwriter for an outstanding body of work and lasting impact on country music, making it a fitting honor for one of the genre’s most celebrated storytellers.
Over the course of her career, Parton has written thousands of songs, including classics like “Jolene,” “Coat of Many Colors,” “9 to 5” and “I Will Always Love You.” Her songwriting has not only helped define her own career, but has influenced generations of country artists who followed.
