Dolly Parton News

Dolly’s recording of “If I Said You Had A Beautiful Body (Would You Hold It Against Me)” with the Bellamy Brothers from their album Angels & Outlaws has made the Billboard Hot Country Singles Chart at #60. David Bellamy says of the recording with Dolly, “Dolly was not only an incredible professional in the studio; she was the also the most fun! Howard and I have always been her biggest fans so it was like Christmas having her sing with us on one of our hits. ‘Beautiful Body’ has always been an enduring hit but, with Dolly’s interpretation, it’s new all over again.”

Although they have not been confirmed, possible tracks for upcoming album Those Were The Days include: “Both Sides Now” (recorded with previously-announced guest star Judy Collins), “Where Do The Children Play” (written by and recorded with previously-announced Cat Stevens), and the public domain song “The Cruel War.” More information will be posted as we receive it.

While it is not known which tracks the three sing on, Lee Ann Womack, Mindy Smith, and Dan Tyminski (of Alison Krauss & Union Station) have been added to the list of guest vocalists for Dolly’s upcoming album Those Were The Days. The album is set for release by Sugar Hill Records on October 11th.
