New York, NY (Top40 Charts) RCA Records, Dolly Records and Legacy Recordings, the catalog division of Sony
Music Entertainment, will release
Dolly Parton - Diamonds & Rhinestones: The Greatest Hits Collection on Friday, November 18.
Available in digital, CD (in softpak with booklet) and 2LP 12" vinyl (in gatefold with printed sleeves) configurations.
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.
A cross-label anthology,
Dolly Parton - 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.
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).
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"
