Am I the only one here who finds it hard to imagine Dolly Parton releasing a rock album?
She just has the voice for country, and that is what she's known for. Even her Christmas album is country.
She's the only person I can think of in the music world who I can't imagine doing anything else but what she's known for.
Of course I'm going to listen, (It's actually on my Christmas list), I am a massive dolly fan, but I just don't see it being that good.

I think she has very beautiful voice. ... but hard rock? I cannot see! Hard for me to imagine.

Forgive the dumb questions, but is she gonna form a band, or does she play any instruments on her own?

Those 2 above were interesting. I prefer her softer country sound.

As long as she doesn't turn death metal, I can get used to this.

We talking the rock songs she released in August? Some were OK. I prefer her older music much more!!!

I heard about this some time ago and was actually really interested. She's certainly earned her chops in the music world but as mentioned it's been purely country for ages. I think it's kind of cool that she's switching it up. She's got a lot of awesome artists working with her on the album if I recall. I've never been a country music fan too much (except a brief period of time when I was in elementary school) but Dolly has always just seemed to be a really nice and wonderful person. She's done a lot of giving back which I admire and she just has always seemed to be a sweetheart from as far as you can tell with celebrities and not knowing someone in real life. I gave her cover of "We are the Champions/We will Rock You" above a listen and while I'll admit it's a bit strange to hear Dolly Parton covering a Queen song (I AM a diehard classic rock fan so there's that) she did a good job with it. I still prefer the Queen version needless to say but I respect that she picked an awesome song to cover. I was wondering how she was going to attempt Freddy Mercury vocals on the "We will Rock You" portion but I see they just kind of cut that part short so she didn't, likely for the best as that would have been difficult to manage I feel with their vocal styles being so different. Overall I think it's cool that she's branching out and trying something different, I think it's cool to see her working with some of the musicians that were slated to be on the release with her but in general I'm still probably gonna stick to my classic rock. I might give a few more tracks a listen just because I respect her and give her props for trying it.
