Dolly, Kenny vid drops Monday
Rogers and Parton shot the clip, directed by Trey Fanjoy and produced by Trent Hardville, together earlier this year in Nashville. The song, written by Ryan Hanna King, Caitlyn Smith and Don Schlitz, is the title track from Rogers' new album, "You Can't Make Old Friends," out Oct. 8 on Warner.
It was thirty years ago almost to the day when Rogers and Parton released the multiple-chart number one hit, Islands In The Stream, a huge hit for the duo.
"I can't think of a more perfect song for the two of us to sing together," Rogers said the newsingle. "Out of everyone in the business, Dolly is my best friend, so naturally it has special meaning for the both of us. It was so good to be back in the studio with her. I'm thrilled to have our relationship documented this way."
Parton added, "There is just something about our chemistry with each other - our friendship - that people really sense what we really feel. To do a song that fits so many people, and certainly us, was an honor. It's been a wonderful journey, and I'm so glad I've been able to walk this road with Kenny."
The duet is available now on iTunes and is being offered as a instant download for those who pre-order the You Can't Make Old Friends album on iTunes. The video will be available for purchase next week at digital retailers.
The new disc is Rogers' first country album since "Water & Bridges" in 2006. Rogers will be inducted into the Country Music Hall of Fame this fall. This fall and winter, Rogers' tour will roll on with additional U.S. and Canadian dates, including the Christmas & Hits Through The Years Tour, his annual holiday performances, in late November and December.
