Dolly Parton announces release of her first rock album, 'Rockstar'

NASHVILLE, Tenn. (TND) — Six months after being inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame, country legend Dolly Parton announced she will bereleasing her first rock album.

"I'm a rockstar now!" she wrote in a tweet. "My new album ‘Rockstar’ is coming November 17 and it’s available for pre-order. Let’s rock n’ roll."

While Parton originally declined her nomination to the Rock Hall, saying she didn't feel like she had "earned it," she said she might have to make a "great rock n roll album" as a result.

At her induction, Parton accepted the honor saying, "I didn’t feel like I had done enough to deserve that. And I didn’t understand at the time that it’s about more than that. But I’m just so honored and so proud to be here tonight.”

While her post contained few details, the music journalism platform Consequence (formerly Consequence of Sound) shared the full track list for the behemoth 30-song album.

While there are nine, new original tunes by the queen of Dollyworld – including the title track, which features Bon Jovi guitarist Richie Sambora – the majority are covers that span the classic rock era of the 1960s through the 1980s, and performers of all ages.

Parton will tackle the likes of Led Zeppelin's "Stairway to Heaven" with pop star Lizzo, Journey's "Open Arms" with former frontman Steve Perry, "Heartbreaker" with originators Pat Benatar and Neil Giraldo, Bob Seger's "Night Moves" with country troubador Chris Stapleton" and Prince's "Purple Rain," just to name a few.

Parton will also united the surviving members of The Beatles – Sir Paul McCartney and Sir Ringo Starr – for a performance of their band's beloved song "Let It Be."

Pre-orders are open now for the 4xLP, 2xCD album, as well as digitally.
