American Songwriter has highlighted four lesser-known Dolly Parton songs that it argues deserve wider recognition, beyond her best-known hits such as "9 To 5" and "I Will Always Love You". The feature draws attention to deeper cuts across Parton's catalogue that showcase different sides of her songwriting, from tragedy to nostalgia to comedy.

The selections include "Me And Little Andy", a sombre track from the "Here You Come Again" album about a girl and her dog who both die by the song's end; an unnamed nostalgic tune evoking Parton's Tennessee Mountain Home childhood; "Two Doors Down", about moving on from heartbreak by meeting someone new at a neighbour's party; and "Drinkinstein", a comic song written for the 1984 film "Rhinestone", in which Parton helped transform Sylvester Stallone into a country star.

– "Me And Little Andy" — a sorrowful tale of a girl and her puppy who both pass away.
– A nostalgic ode to Parton's Tennessee Mountain Home upbringing.
– "Two Doors Down" — moving on from lost love with a new romance next door.
– "Drinkinstein" — a comedic drinking song written for the film "Rhinestone".
