Dolly Parton goes her own way with new label, CD
Thursday, August 2, 2007 – Dolly Parton will form her own record and be its sole artist with a new disc due in February 2008, according to an article in Billboard.
Parton has ventured into bluegrass, but her manager, Danny Nozell, told Billboard the new CD would be "the first mainstream country record Dolly has done in 17 years." Nozell will be the general manager of Dolly Records.
He told Billboard she would be the only person on the label with no other artists being signed.
Parton most recently released records through Sugar Hill Records and spent many years on RCA Records.
Nozell said they considered going with a major, but were not offered anything they couldn't refuse for distributing the CD.
The first single, "Better Get To Livin'," will impact radio Sept. 24.
Look for Parton to tour early in 2008 in the U.S., Canada, Europe and Australia.

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. 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.
