Rockstar, Parton’s first foray into rock’n’roll, features nine originals and 21 covers of songs including Let It Be and Purple Rain

Dolly Parton has announced a genre switch to rock music, and has tapped what will surely be the starriest supporting cast for any album this year.

Her new album Rockstar – a 30-track epic with nine originals and 21 cover versions, which will be released on 17 November – features 42 guest artists straddling multiple genres and generations. Her cover of Let It Be features both surviving Beatles alongside Peter Frampton and Mick Fleetwood, while You’re No Good features one of Parton’s most creatively fruitful collaborators, Emmylou Harris, alongside Sheryl Crow.
