Rockstar
Dolly Parton
Rockstar is Dolly Parton’s 2023 first full-length rock album, made after her 2022 induction into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame. Spanning 30 tracks and more than two hours, it pairs nine Parton originals with 21 interpretations of major rock songs, casting her unmistakable voice across material by artists from the Beatles and Led Zeppelin to the Rolling Stones, Heart, and Lynyrd Skynyrd. Rather than abandoning her country identity, Parton approaches the genre as an enthusiastic lifelong fan, adding country phrasing, theatricality, and strong melodic focus to a deliberately large-scale celebration of rock music.
The album’s defining element is its extraordinary guest roster. Parton duets with Sting on “Every Breath You Take,” Steve Perry on “Open Arms,” Ann Wilson on “Magic Man,” Chris Stapleton on “Night Moves,” Miley Cyrus on “Wrecking Ball,” and P!nk and Brandi Carlile on “(I Can’t Get No) Satisfaction.” Paul McCartney and Ringo Starr join Peter Frampton and Mick Fleetwood for “Let It Be,” while Lizzo appears on “Stairway to Heaven” and Stevie Nicks collaborates on the original “What Has Rock and Roll Ever Done for You.” With a mixture of tribute, collaboration, and new songwriting, Rockstar is a maximalist, good-humored statement of Parton’s musical range and a tribute to the artists who shaped rock’s canon.
