Måneskin Joins Dolly Parton in a Rocking Collaboration on 'Jolene'

Country music legend Dolly Parton has teamed up with Italian rock sensations Måneskin for a new, energized version of her iconic 1973 hit, “Jolene.” This exciting collaboration is a part of Parton’s first-ever rock album, “Rockstar” and is available exclusively via digital download from her website.

“Rockstar” marks Dolly Parton’s forty-ninth solo studio album and represents a significant shift into the rock genre. Released on November 17, 2023, by Butterfly Records and Big Machine Records, the album includes a blend of original tracks and rock anthems. The album includes collaborations with various rock musicians like Judas Priest frontman Rob Halford, Stevie Nicks, former Bon Jovi guitarist Richie Sambora, Elton John, Paul McCartney, and now, Måneskin.

Parton’s foray into rock music was partly influenced by her nomination for the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2022. Despite her country music background, Parton embraced the rock genre, making “Rockstar” a testament to her versatility and commitment to her inclusion in the Hall of Fame. The album has been met with generally favorable reviews, with a score of 63 out of 100 on Metacritic.

Måneskin, having gained global recognition for their vibrant and dynamic rock sound, further solidified their standing in the rock world through this collaboration with Dolly Parton. The band’s bassist, Victoria De Angelis, had previously collaborated with Duran Duran, and this latest partnership with Parton demonstrates the band’s rising prominence in the music industry!
