Dolly, Kenny vid drops Monday

Friday, September 13, 2013 – The world premiere of the video for You Can't Make Old Friends, the new duet by Kenny Rogers and Dolly Parton , will be broadcast on ABC's Good Morning America this coming Monday, Sept. 16.

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.

Songs on the CD are:
1. You Can't Make Old Friends (Duet With Dolly Parton)
2. All I Need Is One
3. You Had To Be There
4. 'Merica
5. Turn This World Around

7. Don't Leave Me In The Night Time (Featuring Buckwheat Zydeco)

CD reviews

CD review - Rockstar With the possible exception of puppies, the only thing Americans can agree on in this acrimonious era of ours is Dolly Parton. Wherever you may fall on the political spectrum, you'd be hard pressed to find anybody who would dispute her status as a national icon. And it's not just her prodigious talents – singer, songwriter, author, actress, philanthropist, theme park impresario, just to name a few – that we admire; it's her integrity. In 2022, when she was elected to ...
CD review - Run Rose Run 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 ...
CD review - A Holly Dolly Christmas A Dolly Parton Christmas album seems like a natural, as Parton oftentimes comes off like a child inside an adult's body. Parton was able to rope both famous Cyruses (Miley and Billy Ray) as well Jimmy Fallon, Willie Nelson and Michael Bublé to sing with her. Perhaps, best of all, Parton had a hand in writing half of these dozen songs. Parton sounds great throughout, and into her 70s, her voice has lost none of its power. Sonically, Parton also isn't shy about infusing ...
