Dolly Parton will release her new album ‘Run, Rose, Run’ on March 4.
The LP is the companion piece to her upcoming novel of the same name, co-authored by the country icon and James Patterson.
It’s preceded by lead single Big Dreams and Faded Jeans, with Dolly admitting the lyric is inspired by the droves of young songwriters who push to make it in the music industry.
“So many people come to Nashville with their sack of songs,” she said in a statement.
“Whether they’re running from anything or not, they’re running towards a future. That’s what ‘Big Dreams And Faded Jeans’ is all about.
“I am so pleased to finally share the first song from this exciting new album with all of you!”
Dolly’s book was announced last August, with the co-writer James describing the project as “a new thriller about a young singer/songwriter [Rose] on the rise and on the run… and determined to do whatever it takes to survive!”
An official description reads: “The album mirrors the story of a young woman who leaves home for Nashville, TN to pursue her music-making dreams and the dark secret from her past that threatens it all
“Set to the Country/Americana/Bluegrass sounds that are intrinsically woven into Parton, this album provides an even deeper and more relatable sense of the novel – giving the audience an all-encompassing experience on and off the page.”
‘Run, Rose, Run’ is available to pre-order on CD and vinyl.
