In case you didn’t know, Dolly Parton is Miley Cyrus’ Godmother. So they have a very special bond and have done a lot of things together throughout the years, like host a New Year’s Eve special on NBC.
Now, they have done something they have never done. Miss Dolly asked her Goddaughter if she could record Wrecking Ball for her album Rockstar. Not only that, she asked Miley to duet with her. And what we got is something that will hit you like a wrecking ball because it is still so powerful.
And their messages to each other are just as powerful. Miley wrote, “I’ve grown up covering my Aunt Dolly’s music & it’s an honor to hear her singing one of my songs.
“I love you Aunt Dolly! I’m so happy to add another collaboration under our bedazzled (studded leather) belt! We’re ROCKSTARS now! You can hear so much sweetness and love on this record. Excited to share it with everyone.
“Forever your Doll Baby, Miley”
While Dolly wrote, “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
@MileyCyrus 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!”
I love their relationship. We should all have one like that.
Have you heard Dolly Parton is a Rockstar now? So, on November 17th, she is going to release her first Rock album.
Since the 77-year-old is making up for lost time, she recorded a lot of covers to fill the tracklist. One of the songs she added her special voice to is 4 Non Blondes’ What’s Up. And to make it even better, she asked Linda Perry to join her.
Out of all of the songs we have heard from Rockstar, this one fits her voice the best. In fact, I think it is so much better than the original.
And now I can’t wait to get her record when it comes. Whoever thought we would bang our heads listening to Dolly, but that is what we are going to be doing!
Dolly Parton is releasing her first Rock album in November. It is such a massive deal that she was able to recruit The Beatles’ Paul McCartney and Ringo Starr for her cover of their tune Let It Be!
I don’t think anyone could’ve have imagined that these three would ever work together. But they did. And what we got is epic.
We are exactly one year away from the start of the 2024 Olympics in Paris, and NBC is starting to promote the global sports event that will air on their networks.
What better way to do it than with Dolly Parton? The singer is releasing a Rock album on November 18th, and one of the tracks is a mashup of Queen’s We Are the Champions/We Will Rock You. Two songs that are perfect for the Olympics. So NBC asked her if she would like to include clips from past Olympics to promote the upcoming one, and she said yes.
Dolly released that music video today, and now I am excited for the Summer games. I love watching gymnastics and all the competitions.
And I am not the only one who loves watching. “I love the Olympics! I do my best to plan my schedule to watch as much of it as I possibly can,” says Parton. “I tape it just in case I miss the live action on a certain day and watch it back as soon as possible. I laugh, I cry, I scream, there are no losers in the Olympics as they have all spent a lifetime preparing but I celebrate with the ones that go away with the gold, silver, and bronze medals.”
We know that NBC will include her in their coverage. But it will be interesting to see if France invites an American to sing two British songs during the opening ceremonies. I doubt it, but you never know. Who else can they get?
When Dolly Parton was nominated for the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, she initially declined the offer because she didn’t feel that she earned it since she never released a Rock album.
I say initially because she wound up getting inducted into their HOF and accepting the honor. So to right a wrong, the Country singer is releasing a Rock record later this year full of covers, duets with other Rockers, and originals.
Today, Miss Parton released a single from her upcoming CD, and it is a mashup of Queen’s We Are the Champions and We Will Rock You.
And Rock you, she definitely does with the tune. She is a champion in whatever genre she takes on. Rock on, Dolly!
