The country star was inspired by his 2022 induction into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, the American pantheon of rock and popular music. At the time, Dolly Parton explained that she had initially refused the honor, not considering herself a rocker.
During the ceremony, the singer, dressed in a leather jacket and electric guitar encrusted with crystals in her hand, however announced her intention to make a rock album. “Rockstar” contains 30 tracks, some of which were recorded with stars like Sting, Stevie Nicks, Joan Jett and Debbie Harry.
