Dolly Parton Drops “Let It Be” Collab With Paul McCartney & Ringo Starr

Dolly Parton Releases Her Version Of “Let It Be” From Upcoming Rock Album – The Track Features Surviving Beatles Paul McCartney & Ringo Starr

Dolly Parton may be a country music legend, but she’s ready to rock! She’s gearing up to release her first-ever rock album, Rockstar, on November 17. The album contains a mix of originals and covers of iconic rock songs.

Parton’s decision to record a rock album comes following her induction into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame in 2022. She originally tried to reject the nomination, feeling that it wouldn’t be appropriate for her to take a place in the hall. But she changed her mind, and was voted into the class.

Dolly’s New Rock Album Includes Tons Of Collaborations With Famous Rock Artists

As Parton worked on crafting Rockstar, she gathered some of the world’s greatest rock artists to collaborate with. Just a few of the many stars featured on her record include Stevie Nicks, Pat Benatar, Steven Tyler, and Sting.

Parton previously released her version of Queen’s “We Are The Champions/We Will Rock You,” along with an official music video. The video was made in celebration of the upcoming 2024 Olympics in Paris.
