Little Sparrow was a 2001 Dolly Parton album, the second in a trilogy of folk/Bluegrass albums Parton released between 1999 and 2002. While The Grass Is Blue, the album's predacessor featured straightforward bluegrass, Little Sparrow featured a blend of folk and bluegrass styles. In addition to a number of traditional songs and Parton's own compositions, the album featured a reworking of the Collective Soul hit "Shine", as well as a bluegrass version of Cole Porter's "I Get a Kick Out of You". The album received positive reviews and reached number 12 on the U.S. country albums chart, Parton's highest charting solo album in nearly a decade.
Among the backing musicians were members of the alternative bluegrass band Nickel Creek.
Parton's recording of "Shine" won a Grammy for best female country vocal performance. The track "Marry Me" was later featured in the Reese Witherspoon film Sweet Home Alabama.
