Dolly Parton isn't a good comparison. It would be more accurate to compare Stevie to other artists who've juggled solo careers and band membership fairly concurrently. Which is pretty rare.
For example, Don Henley and Glenn Frey recorded 7 studio albums with The Eagles over the past 42 years, and have recorded 5 solo albums each. Despite a large gap in time when the Eagles were disbanded. Based on similar eras, genres, and fan-bases, their careers are probably the closest analogy to Stevie's.
