I am really digging Dolly Parton’s latest album, Rockstar. When the inestimable Ms. Parton was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, she initially balked at the honor, saying she was a country artist and hadn’t done anything worthwhile in the field of rock and roll. Well, they inducted her anyway and I guess she felt like she needed to live up to it because she’s released an album of rock covers that will sear your ears off. Great stuff, with guest stars like Sting, Joan Jett, Paul McCartney, Pat Benatar, and more.

Here’s a link to it on Apple Music.
