Smoky Mountain DNA: Family, Faith and Fables, the new album by Dolly & Family is out now!
Discover the rich family history and musical legacy of Dolly's paternal Parton family and her maternal family, the Owenses, on this 37 track album. Featuring duets performed by Dolly and various members of her extended family, archival recordings of beloved family members who have passed appear alongside contemporary contributions. The album is available to stream wherever you get your music! Vinyl and CD copies are available in stores and online from SmokyMountainDNA.com. Dolly has been secretly working on new album for release later this year titled Smoky Mountain DNA. Her fiftieth solo studio album, it will include more than 30 songs featuring over 20 members of her family. The album release will coincide with a new docu-series detailing Dolly's Welsh ancestry. Segments of the docu-series are scheduled to be recorded next week in Knoxville in a string of shows on Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday. The shows will feature Dolly alongside members of her family sharing stories and songs. The shows are free, but anyone wishing to attend must sign up through Audience 615. Dolly's niece, Jada Starr, spoke with the Daily Mail about the upcoming projects in an article here.
The deluxe version of Rockstar will arrive tomorrow, just in time for Dolly's 78th birthday! The reissue contains all the previously issued bonus tracks from the HSN Edition and the Download Exclusive Version with the addition of four new songs; "Stay Out of My Bedroom", "Bridge Over Troubled Water", "The Entertainer" and "Sweet Dreams (Are Made of This)". The deluxe edition spans a massive 39 tracks, bringing the album's full runtime to just under three hours. Rockstar turns out to be the gift that keeps on giving!

It is being pressed at Memphis Record Pressing and comes in a reverse board, foil stamped jacket. Limited to 2,000 copies, the records will be individually numbered. The album is available for pre-order now and is expected to ship by March 2024. I am beyond excited to add this album to my record collection! I’ve been dreaming of a vinyl release of this album for years. It’s one of my favorite Dolly records. We’re one week away from the release of Rockstar! Have you pre-ordered your copy yet? At the start of next year I will be returning to more regular updates on the home page. The “This Week” series became a little overwhelming with my work schedule, so I decided to take a step back and decide how to move forward. I came to the decision it would be better for me and more informative for readers to only highlight new releases on the home page blog with occasional anniversary posts for major releases from Dolly’s discography. As always, THANK YOU for checking out my website!
The release of Dolly’s forty-ninth solo and sixty-sixth overall studio album, Rockstar, is quickly approaching. I thought it would be exciting to follow “The Road to Rockstar” by listening to all of Dolly’s studio albums over the next several weeks (with a few extras thrown into the mix). Beginning September 12, I will be listening to one of Dolly’s studio albums every day as a build up to the release of what will be Dolly’s largest body of work to date! I’m sharing that plan here so anyone who wants to participate can listen along. Comments will be open on this post, so feel free to comment each day with any thoughts on the album or to discuss the music with other fans! It has been a long road to Dolly’s first Rock album, with lots of twists, turns, and detours along the way. Join me as I start from the beginning and travel the long and winding Road to Rockstar!
