If you missed it, the 2025 audiobook GRAMMY nominations were announced on 8 November last year. Yes, who knew?

Two of the audiobooks spotlighted in the nominations include Dolly Parton’s BEHIND THE SEAMS and Barbra Streisand’s MY NAME IS BARBRA.

Both books are read by the authors and have earned Best Audio Book, Narration, and Storytelling Recording nominations. 

In Behind The Seams: My Life in Rhinestones, country superstar Dolly Parton shares the full story behind her lifelong passion for fashion, including how she developed her own distinct Dolly style.

Dolly’s audiobook is an immersive listening experience, featuring over 30 of her beloved songs, as well as archival interviews and performance clips. 

My Name is Barbra was ten years in the making, and encapsulates EGOT winner Barbra Streisand’s six-decade career as a singer, actor, and director.

In her book, Barbra tells the story about her life and extraordinary career, from growing up in Brooklyn and her first star-making appearances in New York nightclubs, to her breakout performance in Funny Girl and winning the Oscar.

Another entrant, coming in at 100 years old, was the late Jimmy Carter; the oldest nominee in the 2025 awards. The former President was also nominated for Best Audio Book, Narration, and Storytelling Recording.

The 67th Annual GRAMMY Awards will be broadcast live from Los Angeles on Sunday, February 2, 2025.
