Dolly Parton News

An original Dolly song entitled “Travelin’ Thru” is featured in the new movie Transamerica. Duncan Turner, the film’s director, personally asked Dolly to write a song for the movie, and she happily obliged. “I was proud to be asked to write a song for Transamerica. It’s a remarkable movie that touches you in every single place of human emotion. Working with Duncan Tucker was a great joy and wonderful experience. I’m glad that we were all ‘Travelin’ Thru’ at the same time.” While the film is being shown in select markets starting this weekend, the soundtrack is not slated to be released until February by Nettwerk Records. “Travelin’ Thru” is already some critic’s pick to win Best Original Song at next year’s Oscars. Let’s keep our fingers crossed!

Although it only features a few seconds of Dolly, the music video for Brad Paisley and Dolly’s single “When I Get Where I’m Going” will premiere on CMT’s Top 20 Countdown on December 8th. The single is currently #18 on Billboard’s Country Singles Chart and is featured on Brad’s latest album Time Well Wasted. Please continue to call your radio stations and request so Dolly will see another #1 hit!

Dolly has joined saxophonist Jerry D on his new CD Sax In The Country. Jerry performs Dolly’s classic “I Will Always Love You” with Dolly adding a stunning vocal performance on the final verse and chorus. Also featured on the CD is songwriting legend Deborah Allen, who adds her vocals to her hit “Baby, I Lied.” Sax In The Country was recorded at Two Monkeys Studio, owned by Dolly’s friends and frequent collaborators Kent Wells and Tony Smith.
