Parton, Andress, Cobb offer new sounds
Friday, October 2, 2020 – Dolly Parton goes the holiday route with "A Holly Dolly Christmas." This is Parton's third Christmas album, following 1984's "Once Upon a Christmas" with Kenny Rogers and 1990's "Home for Christmas." Among the guests are Willie Nelson, Michael Bublé, Darren and Rhonda Vincent, and Miley and Billy Ray Cyrus.
Ingrid Andress has enjoyed success with her debut, "Lady Like." Today she goes the deluxe path with the release. The updated release contains three new songs: "Feeling Things," a collaboration with Little Big Town on Andress' number one debut "More Hearts Than Mine" plus a cover of "Boys" which Andress originally co-wrote for Charli XCX.
Brent Cobb is out with "Keep 'Em On They Toes," on his own label, Ol' Buddy Records, via Thirty Tigers. Produced by Brad Cook (Waxahatchie, Bon Iver, Hiss Golden Messenger), "Keep 'Em On They Toes" was created after Cobb moved back to his home state of Georgia after several years between Nashville and Los Angeles. This is Cobb's fourth full-length release.

The Dolly Parton album, "Run, Rose, Run," is an aural companion to an original novel of the same name that the county music icon co-authored with popular novelist, James Patterson. Songs are inspired by characters in the book, and encouragement is a primary lyrical theme, from start to finish. It's simply put, one feel good collection of songs.
This country star has given us a decidedly traditional country album. "Driven," for example, incorporates plenty of fiddle and ...
A Dolly Parton Christmas album seems like a natural, as Parton oftentimes comes off like a child inside an adult's body.
