Perry joins Parton at ACMs

Tuesday, March 22, 2016 – Katy Perry and Dolly Parton will join forces for a joint performance at the 51st Academy of Country Music Awards.

There was no word on what the pop star and Parton would sing. Parton also will be honored with the Tex Ritter Award for her television movie, "Dolly Parton's Coat of Many Colors." This award is given to a movie released and/or receiving major exposure during the preceding calendar year, featuring or utilizing country music.

The ACMS will be held in Las Vegas on April 3 at 8 p.m. live eastern/delayed Pacific on CBS.

The movie aired on NBC in 2015 in a story of faith and family. Set in 1955 in the Great Smoky Mountains, the film showcases a time in Parton's childhood, as her family struggles with loss and grapples with religion, while love of family prevails.

Parton and Perry join previously announced performers, including Jason Aldean, Kelsea Ballerini, Dierks Bentley, Luke Bryan, Cam, Kenny Chesney, Eric Church, Brett Eldredge, Sam Hunt, Tim McGraw, Thomas Rhett, Chris Stapleton, Carrie Underwood, Keith Urban, Chris Young with Cassadee Pope and Florida Georgia Line. Additional acts and presenters will be announced.

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.
