Global superstar Dolly Parton celebrates the release of her star-studded rock album, Rockstar, with a global first-listen fan event featuring selections from the album and an exclusive interview with Dolly on November 15, with select encores on November 16th. The album event will feature a sneak peek of select tracks and music videos from the upcoming album set to release on November 17. Plus an exclusive performance of a holiday song and her classic hit “9 to 5.”
In keeping with Dolly’s long-standing commitment to giving back, a portion of the proceeds from ticket sales will benefit Music Will and their global partner organizations. Music Will is the largest nonprofit music program in the US public school system. Further, Music Will works with sister organizations around the world to magnify the power of music education.
Parton recently released the latest track off her upcoming album, Rockstar (available on November 17 via Butterfly Records) - "Wrecking Ball" (feat. Miley Cyrus). Stream the single here, and listen below.
Says Dolly: "When I heard 'Wrecking Ball' I almost wept in my car. When it started into the chorus it hit me like a wrecking ball! I thought how great can a song be and how great can Miley Cyrus be? I thought, I have to have that song on my rock album and I have to have Miley sing it with me! I love it and I hope you do!"
As one of the year’s most-anticipated album releases, Rockstar features Parton taking on some of the most adored songs in rock n' roll history. Fans can pre-order an array of Rockstar vinyl and CD box sets via Parton’s website.
