Dolly Parton set to release ‘Rockstar’ album

Interprets rock classics plus originals in 30-track project

By Preshias Harris

Nobody can deny that Dolly Parton has conquered Country.  Co-hosting the 58th Annual Academy of Country Music Awards, May 11 with Garth Brooks, Dolly even poked a little fun at being call a GOAT – Greatest Of All Time – pulling a pink wagon onto the stage with a live goat sitting in it!

So yeah, Dolly’s a Country GOAT… but Rock?  You might remember that when her name was put forward as a nominee for the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, she initially declined the nomination saying, “I don’t feel that I have earned that right.”  However, Dolly was persuaded to accept the nomination and was inducted into the Rock Hall in November 2022.

So, what’s a country girl to do when she is officially recognized as a rock star? Well… record an album titled Rockstar, of course.
