@mdmrn It looks like a really good album, judging by the tracks that have come out so far! She’s done a duet with Rob Halford out of Judas Priest!

@satsuma Right! It looks like it's going to rule.

Definitely seeing why there's hype around it. And the list of tracks - just incredible. A cover of Let it Be w/ Paul & Ringo...just wow. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rockstar_(Dolly_Parton_album)

@mdmrn The story behind it is that she was offered a place in the Rock and Roll hall of fame, but turned it down because she didn’t feel she was qualified until she’d recorded a proper rock album!

@satsuma Dolly Parton really just is amazing.

@mdmrn I listened to all of her albums at the rate of one a week during 2020 - she kept me sane during that crazy year!

@mdmrn Wow, just wow. I love her music, but her being country & Queen being rock, this just hits different.

@CrossingAlison Right! She's apparently got a whole album of rock songs coming out. INCLUDING a cover of Let it Be...guest starring Paul McCartney & Ringo...

Kind of hyped.

@mdmrn As I watched, I was wondering if this was done for the Paris Olympic Games…

@zonkerh Yea, looks like the video was. BUT, Dolly is making a new rock album with a mix of original songs she wrote and covers.
