About this deal

When you grow up with an artist and listen along to them, it’s much easier to connect and put their work in context than trying to listen to everything all at once. Personalised advertising may be considered a “sale” or “sharing” of information under California and other state privacy laws, and you may have a right to opt out. The album is a collaborative project with a variety of rock musicians, marking Parton's first foray into the genre. The album received generally positive reviews from critics and debuted at number three on the Billboard 200, becoming Parton's highest-charting solo studio album as well as topping the Country and Rock Albums charts.

Parton pursued Mick Jagger to provide vocals on her Rolling Stones cover, but he had a scheduling conflict [16] and failed to reunite Led Zeppelin's Jimmy Page and Robert Plant for her new cover of " Stairway to Heaven", a favorite of her husband Carl Dean.From her debut single ‘Dumb Blonde’, Dolly made it clear she was at ease with telling jokes at her own expense. The song admits to her own self-hatred before turning it on the listener and reminding them to ‘stay out of my closet if your own is full of trash. Parton’s own songs range from pretty good to great, although whether My Blue Tears, originally from 1971’s Coat of Many Colours, is much improved by the addition of a vocal by Simon Le Bon is a moot point at best. Both The Seeker (1-14) and 9 To 5 (2-8) are 15 seconds longer than their original album versions, with a longer fade at the end.

It might have been better had Parton invited these songs into her own world: clearly, hearing a country or bluegrass version of 4 Non Blondes’ What’s Up? We don’t share your credit card details with third-party sellers, and we don’t sell your information to others. It is a bold move to try a new genre after all those great country albums but for me it does not quite work.

She began her music career at the age of 13 and has since become a legendary figure in the industry. The ever-evolving Parton teamed up with an all-star roster of musicians for the 30-song collection which includes 9 original tracks and 21 covers of iconic rock anthems. If you’d like to file an allegation of infringement, you’ll need to follow the process described in our Copyright and Intellectual Property Policy. Trio arrived in 1987; sold more than four million copies; won two Grammy Awards; and topped the country album chart for five consecutive weeks. Her songwriting has always been personal, but she is concerned with the universality of her experiences rather than the narcissistic specificity of what is expected from our modern pop stars.

But from the perspective of a listener tearfully pleading for mercy midway through a version of Aerosmith’s I Want You Back – on which Parton and Steven Tyler both deliver their vocals with such torrential force it sounds less like a duet than a systematic attempt to damage each other’s hearing – the chewy-accented naysayers start to seem not closed-minded gatekeepers but the voices of common sense. By denying any particular faith and yet working deeply in the pastor tradition of her family she avoids alienating any of her audience. After his appearance on the cover of Dolly’s album ‘My Blue Ridge Mountain Boy’ her husband Carl Dean quietly disappears from her discography, a relationship she now fiercely protects along with her privacy. Global icon and recent Rock n’ Roll Hall of Fame inductee, Dolly Parton, has joined forces with some of Rock music’s most legendary artists along with today’s biggest stars for her first-ever Rock album, Rockstar. Only played this rather long double cd twice but this change of genre from country to rock does not quite work for me not that it is a bad album of course.Rockstar features 30 songs and lasts the best part of two and half hours, which even someone desperate to hear Dolly Parton sing Stairway to Heaven a deux with Lizzo might consider too much of a good thing.
