Features the legendary country star’s vocals, with music from the First Ladies of Bluegrass band, Dolly Parton‘s first posthumous song has been released, during which she introduces each member of the First Ladies of Bluegrass before they perform instrumental solos.
Titled ‘Born to Ride,’ the legendary singer/songwriter recorded her vocals for the cover song four years ago at the height of the COVID-19 pandemic.
Available for purchase next week, the collaboration will appear on the upcoming tribute album, Where the Soul Never Dies: Celebrating 80 Years of The Stanley Brothers.
In an interview with Rolling Stone, producer Garry West, told how Parton gave “the full Dolly” for the recording, adding “We didn’t know what we would get back, and she really did over-deliver.” “We were shocked. We couldn’t have gotten anything better.”
In addition to Dolly, the tribute LP to the Stanley brothers also features Willie Nelson with Sierra Ferrell, Billy Strings with Drew Emmitt, Jamey Johnson with Shawn Camp, Dierks Bentley with Della Mae and the Nitty Gritty Dirt Band.
Following a “brief battle with cancer,” Dolly Parton passed away on August 25 at the age of 80.
