Dolly Parton, a true legend in the music world, is still surprising her fans with new challenges and achievements. Although she has accomplished almost everything in country music, she’s stepping outside her usual realm with an exciting venture.
The beloved singer has announced her first-ever rock album! Despite being deeply rooted in country music, Dolly was inducted into the Hollywood Rock and Roll Hall of Fame last year. Initially, she turned down this nomination because she felt she hadn’t truly earned it. However, after some deliberation, Dolly decided to accept the honor.
Proud to prove her worthiness and excited about her new project, she’s set to release a rock album to commemorate her induction. Fans can look forward to this new collection dropping on November 17, aptly titled ‘Rockstar.’
This exciting album features a total of 30 tracks, with nine original songs. The remainder is a delightful mix of collaborations and new renditions of famous tracks by various artists. One such collaboration includes a fresh take on ‘Every Breath You Take’ by Sting, and ‘Wrecking Ball’ featuring Dolly’s goddaughter, Miley Cyrus.
The album boasts appearances from music giants such as Elton John, Sir Paul McCartney, Stevie Nicks, and Steven Tyler, promising something truly remarkable.
When reflecting on her induction into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, Dolly shared, “Though I initially felt undeserving, they persuaded me otherwise. I gladly took the honor but with a vow to earn it truly.”
Dolly’s determination to release this album symbolizes her commitment to proving her musical versatility. As reported by Billboard, she expressed her excitement working with such legendary artists, stating, “Collaborating with these iconic figures was an honor, and performing these timeless songs was a sheer joy. I hope listeners find as much pleasure in it as I have creating it!”
Even at 77, Dolly Parton continues to inspire her audience. Her enthusiasm for making music remains contagious, and it’s wonderfully heartening to see such passion persisting.
