Parton had already confirmed that her album is to come out in 2023, and is set to feature covers of songs from artists such as Prince, Led Zeppelin, The Rolling Stones and Lynyrd Skynyrd.
“I’m working on that album and that will be coming out sometime next fall hopefully, in time for the Christmas season next year", Parton said of the album. "And so I’m going to do a lot of classic songs that are rock songs and then a few that I’ve written".
On her hopes of Elton making an appearance, Dolly Parton said that it features a cover of an Elton track, “I just recorded for my rock album and I did [Elton’s] song, ‘Don’t Let the Sun Go Down On Me’,".
“And I’ve sent out a message asking if he would sing with me on it and possibly play the piano", she continued. “So if y’all get to see him, say Dolly wants you to sing on her record! So anyway, but I love him, just tell him to enjoy it because it was great fun for me".
Titled 'Rock Star', Dolly Parton's album is to arrive between September 23 and December 22 of 2023.
The singer released her greatest album 'Diamonds and Rhinestones' earlier this year.
