Dolly Parton Celebrates Her Greatest Hits On Upcoming ‘Diamonds & Rhinestones’ Project

RCA Records, Dolly Records and Legacy Recordings, the catalog division of Sony Music Entertainment, have partnered to release Dolly Parton – Diamonds & Rhinestones: The Greatest Hits Collection. The special compilation will be available everywhere on Nov. 18, including on digital, CD and 2LP 12″ vinyl configurations.

A cross-label anthology, Diamonds & Rhinestones brings together recordings originally released on Dolly Records, RCA Victor and Columbia Records, as well as the Butterfly Records digital single, “When Life Is Good Again,” written and recorded in 2020 as the country icon’s message of hope as the pandemic rolled in. Containing 23 tracks from Parton’s extensive career, the project includes new liner notes penned by MusicRow‘s Robert K. Oermann, who collaborated with Parton on her 2020 autobiography, Dolly Parton, Songteller: My Life in Lyrics.

“Every one of these songs has a special memory behind it for me,” Parton shares in a note to fans. “I hope that you make some special memories of your own while listening to them. Enjoy the Diamonds & Rhinestones album.”

Included on the record are performances with Kenny Rogers (“Islands in the Stream,” “Real Love”), Loretta Lynn and Tammy Wynette (“Silver Threads and Golden Needles” from Honky Tonk Angels) and “Faith,” her 2020 collaboration with Swedish electropop dance duo Galantis featuring Mr. Probz. The album also features songs from Parton’s films, including “9 To 5,” “Red Shoes” from 2018’s Dumplin‘ and “Tennessee Homesick Blues” from 1984’s Rhinestone.
