Dolly Parton is a 'Rockstar'

Album available worldwide; 30-song collection features iconic collaborations & original music 

Press Release

Internationally beloved Rock & 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 that includes nine 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 4-LP set, a 2-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,” Dolly said. “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.”

Recently, Dolly released her latest book, “Behind the Seams: My Life in Rhinestones” – which covers her lifelong passion for fashion and how she curated her own distinct style. Hitting the shelves on Oct. 17, “Behind the Seams” debuted on The New York Times Best Sellers list. 

Last night, American Greetings, which has a long-time partnership with Dolly, helped celebrate the release of Rockstar at a VIP event in Nashville. Dolly has numerous digital and paper greeting cards with American Greetings, including personalizable SmashUp video cards and a new line of “Rockstar”-themed Createacards.
