Written by Logan Phillips on March 23, 2023
Mötley Crüe ‘s Nikki Sixx is the next high-profile guest set to appear on Dolly Parton’s upcoming rock album.
Sixx shared the news on Twitter on March 23, 2023. The Motley Crue bassist wrote, “Played bass on a song for Dolly Parton yesterday. Been back in the gym again to beat the jet lag from the tour and enjoy family time. Had a great interview with Sweden Rock magazine and they might even feature some of my street photography.”
“I’m very honored and very proud, and I’m good about timing, so I always thought I might want to do a rock record because my husband is a rock and roll freak. So, anyway, I thought, ‘Well, if I’m ever gonna do it, now’s the time,” she added.
Titled “Rock Star”, Dolly’s LP will include covers of classic rock songs like “Purple Rain” by Prince, “Can’t Get No Satisfaction” by The Rolling Stones, “Stairway To Heaven” by Led Zeppelin, and “Freebird” by Lynyrd Skynyrd.
“If I’m gonna be in the Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame, I’m gonna have to do something to earn it. So I’m doing a rock and roll album, and I’m having a lot of the rock stars that I met that night be on the album with me,” Parton explained.
At this time there has still been no official release date for the album.
