Dolly Parton’s Rock Album is with a Who’s Who of Rock Stars and Songs Including Paul McCartney and Ringo Starr on “Let it Be”

Share

You know that once Dolly Parton got into the Rock Hall, she had to make a rock album. So look at this track list. It’s a killer. Between the songs and the people who made them famous, Dolly has cornered a market.

This is either going to be crazy good or crazy terrible, but probaby the former. She’s even got Paul McCartney and Ringo Starr on “Let it Be,” Sting on “Every Breath You Take,”

and Linda Perry on “What’s Up (What’s Going on).”

She even duets with Elton John on “Don’t Let the Sun Go Down on Me.”

I haven’t seen a line up like since Sam Moore of Sam & Dave’s “Overnight Sensational” with Springsteen, Sting, Bon Jovi, Wynonna, Fantasia, Steve Winwood, and Paul Rodgers.

“Rock Star” will hit on November 17th– way after the Grammy deadline, but just in time for the holidays.
