Via Stereogum, news of Dolly Parton’s forthcoming rock album and it looks…I don’t even know. The lineup of collaborators and guests is amazing, star power galore (plus, inexplicably, Kid Rock), but this could be real bad. I’d love to be surprised, but my hopeful guess is this ends up being seen as nothing worse than a harmless novelty.
