A career-spanning retrospective showcasing 23 essential recordings from 1971–2020, Dolly Parton – Diamonds & Rhinestones: The Greatest Hits Collection includes new liner notes penned by Robert K. Oermann, who collaborated with Dolly on her 2020 autobiography, Dolly Parton, Songteller: My Life in Lyrics.
Gems on Diamonds & Rhinestones include Dolly's performances with Kenny Rogers (“Islands in the Stream” and “Real Love”), Loretta Lynn and Tammy Wynette (“Silver Threads and Golden Needles” from Honky Tonk Angels) and “Faith,” her delightfully surprising 2020 collaboration with the Swedish electropop dance duo Galantis (featuring Mr. Probz). The album features songs from Dolly's films including “9 To 5” (from 1980's 9 To 5 And Odd Jobs), “Red Shoes” (from 2018's Dumplin') and “Tennessee Homesick Blues” (from 1984's Rhinestone).
On May 4, the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame announced that Dolly Parton was one of its 2022 Inductees in the Performer Category honouring “artists who have created music whose originality, impact, and influence has changed the course of rock & roll.” The 37th Annual Rock & Roll Hall of Fame Induction Ceremony is scheduled to take place at Microsoft Theatre in Los Angeles, California on November 5.
