The 77-year-old revealed the stellar line-up of
collaborators on her website on Tuesday, sharing details about
the album, which will feature nine original songs and 21 covers.
"I'm so excited to finally present my first Rock and Roll album
'Rockstar," Parton said in a statement.
"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."
Parton will perform her lead original track "World on Fire" at
the annual ACM (Academy of Country Music) Awards, which she is
co-hosting with fellow country singer Garth Brooks, on Thursday.
In an interview with Reuters last month, she said the song was
"about the times that we're living in".
"It's kind of an anthem, it's just talking about all the
different things ...I felt very led to write this song."
The new album, which was inspired by Parton's induction into the
Rock & Roll Hall of Fame last year, also features collaborations
with the likes of Lizzo, Sheryl Crow, Stevie Nicks, Kid Rock,
Simon Le Bon, P!nk, Brandi Carlile, Debbie Harry, Joan Jett and
Chris Stapleton among other well-known music names.
