NASHVILLE, TN (November 17, 2023) — Internationally beloved Rock n’ Roll Hall of Fame inductee, Dolly Parton, has released her long-awaited ROCKSTAR album – available worldwide now. Rockstar (via Butterfly Records with distribution by Big Machine Label Group) is a 30-song collection which includes 9 original tracks and 21 iconic Rock anthems that pair Dolly with some of Rock n’ Roll’s most legendary names. The album is available as a four LP set, a two CD set (including Home Shopping Network, University of Tennessee and Dallas Cowboys CD exclusives), a cassette (exclusive to TalkShopLive), digital download and available on all streaming services.
The album’s focus track, “(I Can’t Get No) Satisfaction (feat. P!nk and Brandi Carlile)” takes the iconic Rolling Stones’ song about worldly frustrations and commercialism from a male perspective and flips it on its head. It has a girl power thing going on!
“I can’t tell you how proud I am of the Rockstar album, and I can’t tell you how happy I am that it’s finally here to be released. I really had a wonderful time working with all these iconic artists on the record and all these iconic musicians. Not to mention all these iconic songs that I think everybody will love hearing again. I just hope you enjoy my version of them,” states Parton.
