Parton’s forthcoming rock album drops next month
Beloved icon, Dolly Parton, has released the latest track from her upcoming Rockstar album, a powerful duet of “Wrecking Ball” with her fairy goddaughter, Miley Cyrus. The dynamic pair first performed the track on Miley’s New Year’s Eve Party which aired live on NBC.
“When I heard ‘Wrecking Ball’ I almost wept in my car. When it started into the chorus it hit me like a wrecking ball! I thought how great can a song be and how great can Miley Cyrus be? I thought, I have to have that song on my rock album and I have to have Miley sing it with me! I love it and I hope you do!” Parton says.
Parton’s Rockstar album is one of the most highly anticipated projects of 2023. The album has already produced chart-topping hits including the original song “Bygones” featuring Rob Halford which reached No. 1 on the Billboard Rock Digital Songs chart and Parton’s original song, “World on Fire,” which also reached the No. 1 Billboard Rock Digital Songs chart the month of its release. Also, recently released was the classic “Let It Be” – including a roster of rock legends — Paul McCartney, Ringo Starr, Peter Frampton and Mick Fleetwood as well as “What’s Up?” featuring Linda Perry. Dolly is set to perform the Halftime Show Live at the Dallas Cowboys’ Thanksgiving Day game against the Washington Commanders.
Rockstar will be released on November 17th with an exclusive Tennessee Volunteers edition and an HSN edition, the latter featuring three bonus tracks.
Earlier this week, Parton also released her latest book, Behind the Seams: My Life in Rhinestones, which is available now. The stunningly photographed book spotlights the living legend’s most iconic looks from the 1960s to now. Fans will get to learn the stories behind Parton’s lifelong passion for fashion and her unwavering confidence that has defied convention and won the hearts of folks from around the world. The book is the second in a three-part series, the first being 2020’s bestselling Songteller: My Life in Lyrics.
