Dolly Parton Drops New Song, Appears In Super Bowl Commercial, Comments On Hall Of Fame Nomination

Audio By Carbonatix

Dolly Parton has released another song from her upcoming album “Run Rose Run,” a companion album to her upcoming book of the same name. The latest track is “Blue Bonnet Breeze,” inspired by the moment the two characters in the book decide to write a song together.

“I thought, ‘What song would that be? What song would they write?,’” Dolly shares. “So, I just chose a ‘Romeo and Juliet’ kind of story and made the music very slow, very emotional, and it’s actually one of my very favorites from this album. It could be a movie of its own!” 

The album is out March 4^th and the book is due out March 7^th. 

• ONE MORE THING! As we told you, Dolly and goddaughter Miley Cyrus starred in a new T-Mobile Super Bowl commercial. The two-part ad has Dolly taking her phone out of her bra and showing her support for phones with 5G. “When I see a problem, I am going to fix it,” Parton says. “America’s got a serious problem, so I’m going to get it off my chest.” 

• And…As we told you, Dolly is one of this year’s nominees for the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame, and she’s surprised by the nomination. "I was absolutely floored when I heard that," Dolly tells Billboard. "I’ve never thought of myself as being rock ’n’ roll in any sense of the word – but I guess they judge it on the music and the influence certain songs have had, and I guess I’ve had songs with other people in that realm."  Dolly says she isn’t “expecting that I’ll get in,” adding, “But if I do, I’ll immediately, next year, have to put out a great rock ’n’ roll album – which I’ve wanted to do for years.”
