Later this week she also hosts the 58th edition of the Academy of Country Music awards, with co-host Garth Brooks. Its first single, World on Fire, is released on 11 May. Rockstar will be her 53rd studio album in a career that stretches back to 1967’s Hello, I’m Dolly. She has also recently produced and starred in a pair of seasonal movies, 2020’s Dolly Parton’s Christmas on the Square and 2022’s Dolly Parton’s Mountain Magic Christmas, the former winning her an Emmy for outstanding television movie. The 77-year-old has maintained a steady run of releases in the past decade, with 2022’s Run Rose Run – a companion album with a novel she wrote with James Patterson – following A Holly Dolly Christmas (2020), I Believe in You (2017), Pure & Simple (2016) and Blue Smoke (2014). Her foray into rock music comes following her induction into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2022, which she initially declined, saying: “I don’t feel that I have earned that right … This has, however, inspired me to put out a hopefully great rock’n’roll album at some point in the future, which I have always wanted to do!” She later accepted the Hall of Fame honour, saying: “It was always my belief that the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame was for the people in rock music, and I have found out lately that it’s not necessarily that.” Parton said she was “very honoured and privileged to have worked with some of the greatest iconic singers and musicians of all time, and to be able to sing all the iconic songs throughout the album was a joy beyond measure”. Parton also takes three solo numbers, including versions of Queen’s We Are the Champions and Prince’s Purple Rain. Stevie Nicks, Simon Le Bon, Steven Tyler, Joan Jett, Michael McDonald, Pat Benatar and Chris Stapleton are among the numerous other guests. Cover of Dolly Parton’s upcoming album Rockstar.
