Dolly Taps Superstar Friends For Upcoming Christmas Album
Dolly Parton is bringing some much-needed holiday cheer to 2020 with the announcement of her upcoming Christmas album, A Holly Dolly Christmas. Due out October 2 on Butterfly Records in partnership with 12Tone Music, this marks her first holiday album in 30 years.
This festive collection includes timeless classics as well as a few original tracks. The album features duets with some of Parton’s friends including Michael Bublé, Billy Ray Cyrus, Miley Cyrus, Jimmy Fallon and Willie Nelson, plus a special song with her brother Randy. Parton penned five tracks solely on the record, which includes one additional co-write with Kent Wells.
The first single coming off A Holly Dolly Christmas, will be her duet with crooner Bublé, “Cuddle Up, Cozy Down Christmas.” The album is available now for physical and digital pre-order.
“I am so excited to announce my new Christmas album A Holly Dolly Christmas. I have recorded several Christmas classics like ‘Holly Jolly Christmas,’ as well as some new material that I hope might become Christmas classics. I’ve recorded five duets with five very special artists as you can see,” says Parton. “I figured since everybody probably wouldn’t get to celebrate Christmas as usual this year, I wanted to be creative instead of sitting around at the house this summer. So I put on my mask, gloves and practiced social distancing, as well as all of the wonderful musicians and singers, and we proceeded to put together what I think is some of the best work that I’ve ever done. Kent Wells produced the album. As you know, Kent has been my friend, band leader and producer for many years. He’s outdone himself on this one. I’m just hoping that you’re gonna love it as much as we loved putting it together. So enjoy and MERRY CHRISTMAS!”
