Dolly Parton Says Mick Jagger Won’t Be on Her Rock Album – Billboard

As Dolly Parton was inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame in late 2022, the nation music icon promised to make good on the induction by recording her first rock album, titled Rock Star.

Though Parton has beforehand stated that her listing of A-list collaborators on the challenge (which releases in November) will embody Paul McCartney, Stevie Nicks, John Fogerty and Aerosmith singer Steven Tyler, there may be one rock music icon she couldn’t fairly wrangle to be a part of the challenge: The Rolling Stones frontman Mick Jagger.

“I never got him!” Parton advised ET Online, shortly including, “But I love Mick Jagger no matter what. I’ll still be runnin’ after him all through the years, because I’ve always had a crush on [him].”

Parton added that the album was largely impressed by her husband of greater than 5 a long time, Carl Dean. “I did a lot of the songs he loves, because he’s the the rock ‘n’ roller,” Parton stated.

Even sans Jagger, music followers will get a primary hearken to the upcoming rock album when Parton co-hosts the ACM Awards on May 11 alongside Garth Brooks. Parton plans to premiere “World on Fire,” the primary single from the album, on the awards present. This 12 months’s Academy of Country Music Awards will stream dwell on Amazon Prime Video.

Parton is barely the second girl, after Brenda Lee, to be inducted into each the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame and the Country Music Hall of Fame.

“I think Brenda Lee has some great songs that would be considered rock,” Parton beforehand advised Billboard. “She was such a crossover artist. I love Brenda, she was a great, great artist. She should be in there. I found out later there’s more people than I knew are in there, and I found out more about what the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame really stood for. … I even have a lot of my rock ‘n’ roll friends and people that are, you know, to the point of being bitter about the fact that they’re not being nominated or in the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame. So it’s like, ‘If they’re not able to be recognized in the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame, where do they go?’ I was trying to be nice and good about not trying to take something away from somebody that had truly earned it.”
