Dolly Parton’s upcoming rock album “Rockstar” will feature Sir Paul McCartney and Stevie Nicks.
During an appearance on “The View,” she was asked if Rolling Stones frontman Sir Mick Jagger had added his voice to a song. She said, “Well, I’m doing my best to get him on [‘Rock Star’], but I did his song anyway.”
Dolly shared that P!nk and Brandi Carlile are set to perform “Satisfaction,” and she’s reached out to Elton John in an effort to get him to sing “Don’t Let The Sun Go Down on Me.” Dolly hopes that he’ll play the piano and sing on the track.
Reviewing the album so far, Dolly explained, “I really think it’s some of the best work I’ve ever done. I think so. Only because it’s different for me. I wanted it to be good.”
The singer says she first got the idea when she was nominated to be in the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame earlier this year, and thought, “Well, if they wanna give it to me anyhow, I’m going to accept it gracefully. And then I’m gonna go ahead and do a rock album and just make the most of it.”
“Rockstar” is set for release later in 2023. The album will feature rock covers and new songs with a similar sound.
