Thanks to Dolly Parton, Christmas has come early for 2020. The Jolene singer is releasing her first holiday album in 30 years. Coming on October 2, Parton's A Holly Dolly Christmas will be available to stream throughout the festive season — including holiday classics, and five original songs written by the country music icon.
A Holly Dolly Christmas will feature carolling collaborations with Miley Cyrus [3], father Billy Ray Cyrus, as well as Jimmy Fallon [4], Willie Nelson, Michael Bublé, and Parton's own brother Randy Parton. "I figured since everybody probably wouldn't get to celebrate Christmas as usual this year, I wanted to be creative instead of sitting around at the house this summer," Parton said in a statement to Rolling Stone. "So I put on my mask, gloves and practiced social distancing, as well as all of the wonderful musicians and singers, and we proceeded to put together what I think is some of the best work that I've ever done."
Dolly Parton's A Holly Dolly Christmas is currently available for pre-order [5]. Until the official release, keep eye out for Dolly Parton's visual memoir, Songteller, coming later this fall.
