Dolly Parton shared two new songs, "Bygones" featuring Rob Halford and special guests Nikki Sixx and John 5, as well as "Magic Man (Carl Version)" with Heart's Ann Wilson, from her upcoming album Rockstar, out November 17.
"'Bygones' is an original song of mine…" said Parton in a press release. "It is one of my very favourites on the whole album. The song fits with so many couples and coupling my voice with Rob, one of my all-time favourites, made it even more special."
She added "I've always wanted a reason to sing 'Magic Man' by Heart, and it was one of my first choices for the album. I was so happy that Ann Wilson agreed to sing it with me. Nobody can out sing Ann, but I gave it my darndest, and we added a few lines that were not in the original. We wanted to have a few things that made it seem like ours. Thank you, Nancy, for letting me fill in for you on this. Hope I've made you both proud. I think it's magic!"
The new songs follow the release of "World on Fire" last month. The album will reunite the surviving members of the Beatles (along with Peter Frampton and Mick Fleetwood), in addition to featured appearances from Sting, Stevie Nicks, Chris Stapleton, Elton John, Steven Tyler, Miley Cyrus, John Forgerty, Kid Rock, Joan Jett, P!nk, Brandi Carlile, Debbie Harry, Melissa Etheridge, Linda Perry, Emmylou Harris, Sheryl Crow, Pat Benatar and more.
