Powerful rendition appears on forthcoming rock album
Beloved global icon and Rock n’ Roll Hall of Fame inductee Dolly Parton has released the next track off her upcoming Rockstar album — a cover of The Beatles’ “Let It Be.” Parton was joined by fellow musical titans Paul McCartney on vocals and piano, Ringo Starr on drums, Peter Frampton on guitar and Mick Fleetwood on percussion to create the emotively impactful rendition of this classic The Fab Four hit.
“Well, does it get any better than singing ‘Let It Be’ with Paul McCartney who wrote the song? Not only that, he played piano!” Parton says. “Well, it did get even better when Ringo Starr joined in on drums, Peter Frampton on guitar and Mick Fleetwood playing percussion. I mean, seriously, how much better does it get? Thanks guys!”
As one of the year’s most-anticipated album releases, Rockstar features Parton taking on some of the most adored songs in rock history. She has already released four songs from the album – a cover of Queen’s “We Will Rock You/We Are the Champions,” the new, original song she wrote with producer Kent Wells “Bygones” featuring Rob Halford, Nikki Sixx and John 5 which reached No. 1 on the Billboard Rock Digital Songs chart, “Magic Man (Carl Version)” featuring Ann Wilson, and her original song, “World on Fire,” which also reached the No. 1 Billboard Rock Digital Songs chart the month of its release.
