Dolly brings together 23 essential tracks from 1971-2020 in career-spanning anthology, "Diamonds & Rhinestones: The Greatest Hits Collection."
Dolly Parton is set to release "Diamonds & Rhinestones: The Greatest Hits Collection" on Friday, November 18, 2022, a career-spanning retrospective showcasing 23 essential recordings from 1971-2020. In a note to her fans, Dolly wrote,
"Every one of these songs has a special memory behind it for me. I hope that you make some special memories of your own while listening to them. Enjoy the 'Diamonds & Rhinestones' album. — Musically yours, Dolly"
A cross-label anthology, "Diamonds & Rhinestones: The Greatest Hits Collection" brings together, for the first time on one album, recordings originally released on Dolly Records, RCA Victor and Columbia Records, as well as the Butterfly Records digital single, "When Life Is Good Again," written and recorded in 2020 as Dolly's musical message of hope to fans as the pandemic rolled in. The Greatest Hits collection also 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").
