“I’ve always believed what you wear should make you feel as fabulous as you truly are, and this brand new line, Dolly’s Joleans, is all about celebrating individuality with a touch of sparkle,” adds Parton. “I’m inspired by Good American’s ability to create clothes that make women feel confident and ready to shine!”

The Crowe Boys are releasing their UMG Nashville debut, Made To Wander, on June 6.

The 10-track album of self-penned songs from brothers Ocie and Wes Crowe includes their latest single, “Bonfire In My Soul,” along with a new video for the song, the second of a three-video series, out now.

“I wrote this song for people in our circle who were like, ‘you should quit, or you should give up, or, you know, you’re not a man.’ This was me and my wife saying ‘No, this is us,'” says Ocie. “We care about you guys, and your opinions are valid, but this is what we believe for us.’ My hope is that people know it’s okay to ask questions that you’ve been told not to ask your whole life.”

The video for “Bonfire In My Soul” is the second in the duo’s video trilogy and opens to Ocie and Wes’s characters escaping from guards introduced in “Bootstraps.” The brothers begin unraveling a mystery involving new friends, a mysterious map with secret codes, and a time travel device. In the process, Ocie makes a special connection with a girl. As he takes her hand, the couple takes one last look back before running toward their next adventure. The video trilogy is made up of “Bootstraps,” “Bonfire In My Soul,” and “Debris,” out June 6 with the full album.
