Dolly Parton - Rockstar

 

Dolly Parton enlists rock's biggest names to create a rock 'n' roll masterpiece!

Collaborators include surviving Beatles Paul McCartney and Ringo Starr, Peter Frampton, Mick Fleetwood, P!NK, Miley Cyrus, Steve Perry, Debbie Harry and more!

Nine original songs and 21 classic rock song covers! 4LP set!

Global icon and recent Rock n' Roll Hall of Fame inductee, Dolly Parton, has joined forces with some of rock music's most legendary artists along with today's biggest stars for her first-ever rock album, Rockstar.

The ever-evolving Parton teamed up with an all-star roster of musicians for the 30-song collection which includes nine original tracks and 21 covers of iconic rock anthems. Rockstar is set for release on November 17 and will be available here as a 4 LP set.

Upon her induction into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame last year, Parton announced her intention to record a rock album. "If I'm gonna be in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, I'm gonna have to earn it," she said at the time.

Parton has spent the last year making good on that promise by enlisting some of the biggest names in music to join her in recording a mix of rock ‘n' roll originals and covers. When Dolly calls, everyone answers. Just look at the massive 30-song tracklist for Rockstar: there's literally a Beatles reunion! Steve Perry sings a Journey song! Lizzo plays jazz flute on "Stairway to Heaven"!

Among the notable covers, Sting accompanies Parton on The Police's "Every Breath You Take," P!NK and Brandi Carlile participate in a rendition of The Rolling Stones' "(I Can't Get No) Satisfaction," Miley Cyrus joins her godmother on "Wrecking Ball," and Debbie Harry shows up on "Heart Of Glass."

There are also nine original songs, including a collaboration with Steve Nicks called "What Has Rock And Roll Ever Done For You," "I Dreamed About Elvis" featuring Ronnie McDowell, and the Richie Sambora-assisted title track. "World on Fire," the lead single, is set to arrive on May 11.

Rockstar closes with two gigantic collaborations: Surviving Beatles members Paul McCartney and Ringo Starr, along with Peter Frampton and Mick Fleetwood, join Parton for a cover of "Let It Be." And there's a cover of "Free Bird" featuring Lynyrd Skynyrd members Gary Rossington (who passed away in March) and Artimus Pyle, along with posthumous vocals from Ronnie Van Zandt.
