First-Ever Rock Album, Rockstar
“I’m so excited to finally present my first Rock and Roll album Rockstar!” Parton said.
Parton continued, ”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. I hope everybody enjoys the album as much as I’ve enjoyed putting it together!”

“We’ve got a lot of wonderful, great celebrities — a lot of the older rock artists — in addition to all these iconic, wonderful songs,” she told Good Morning America of the project. “But I wrote the one that I’m going to debut. It’s kinda fitting to the times. It’s called ‘World on Fire.’”
Lead Single “World On Fire”
“World On Fire” will serve as the project’s lead single and Parton will deliver the world premiere of the track during the 2023 ACM Awards.
Parton will co-host the upcoming 58th Academy of Country Music Awards alongside Garth Brooks.
“I am thrilled to return to host the ACM Awards, this time with my friend Garth,” Parton shared. “While I’ve had the pleasure of spending time with him throughout the years, I can’t believe we’ve never had the chance to work together.”
Taking place on Thursday, May 11, “Country Music’s Party of the Year” will stream live exclusively on Prime Video from Ford Center at The Star in Frisco, Texas.
Rock & Roll Hall of Fame
Parton was inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame. P!nk inducted Parton and paid tribute to the international superstar with a performance alongside Brandi Carlile.
Dolly Parton joins an elite group of music icons, including Hank Williams, Johnny Cash, Chet Atkins, Bill Monroe, and Brenda Lee, to earn a spot in both the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame and the Country Music Hall of Fame.
Willie Nelson will be added to this list when he is officially inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame on November 3.
