{"product_id":"coat_of_many_colors","title":"Coat Of Many Colors","description":"\u003cp\u003eCoat of Many Colors is Dolly Parton’s eighth solo studio album, released by RCA Victor in October 1971 and produced by Bob Ferguson. Its 10 concise songs are rooted in traditional Nashville country, but the record stands out for the intimacy and specificity of Parton’s writing. She wrote seven of the album’s songs, including “Traveling Man,” “My Blue Tears,” “Early Morning Breeze,” “Here I Am,” and “A Better Place to Live,” while three compositions by Porter Wagoner complement the album’s reflective country atmosphere.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe centerpiece is the title track, Parton’s autobiographical story of a childhood coat made from rags by her mother and the dignity it gave her despite classmates’ ridicule. The song transforms poverty, family love, and resilience into a vivid personal statement, becoming one of her signature compositions and a No. 4 country single. Across the rest of the album, Parton explores romantic uncertainty, rural life, faith, and self-worth with her characteristic clarity and warmth. Coat of Many Colors captures the period when her songwriting fully established her as a major artist in her own right, combining Appalachian memory with direct, emotionally durable country storytelling.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Record Store","offers":[{"title":"Vinyl \/ Album","offer_id":53959278297402,"sku":"39847","price":34.99,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/2041\/0682\/files\/Screenshot_2026-08-25_at_6.32.57_PM.jpeg?v=1787697259","url":"https:\/\/recordstore.ca\/products\/coat_of_many_colors","provider":"Record Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
