It features collaborations with a whole host of A-list artists, including Paul McCartney and Ringo Starr, Steven Tyler, Steve Perry, Sting, Stevie Nicks, Richie Sambora, Elton John and Peter Frampton.
“I’m so excited to finally present my first Rock and Roll album Rockstar!” Dolly, who was inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame in 2022, shares. “I am very honored and privileged to have worked with some of the greatest iconic singers and musicians of all time and to be able to sing all the iconic songs throughout the album was a joy beyond measure.”
The 30-track album includes nine original tracks, as well as 21 covers, including such classics as “Let It Be” with McCartney and Starr, as well as Frampton and Mick Fleetwood; “Every Breath You Take” with Sting; “Open Arms” with Perry; “Free Bird” with Lynyrd Skynyrd’s Ronnie Van Zant and the late Gary Rossington, as well as former member Artimus Pyle; “Don’t Let The Sun Go Down On Me” with Elton; and “Stairway to Heaven” with Lizzo.
