Dolly Parton's first posthumous song released

Country music legend Dolly Parton, who passed away in August at the age of eighty, has had her first posthumous track released on a bluegrass tribute album for The Stanley Brothers. The singer recorded her vocals for the song Bound to Ride remotely from her home studio during the pandemic.

The song Bound to Ride has been released as part of a new tribute album titled Where the Soul Never Dies: Celebrating 80 Years of The Stanley Brothers. This track features the late country music icon Dolly Parton performing alongside the First Ladies of Bluegrass. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic and concerns for her health, Parton recorded her vocals for the project remotely in her personal home studio rather than joining the other musicians live in the studio.

Garry West, the owner of the record label, praised the performance, noting that Parton exceeded all expectations during the production process. The legendary singer, known for hits like Jolene and 9 to 5, passed away on August 25 at the age of eighty following a brief battle with cancer. Her contribution to this bluegrass project is now being recognized as her first posthumous release, celebrating her enduring legacy within the music industry.
