Paul and Ringo Both Featured on Dolly Parton's Cover of Beatles' 'Let it Be'


As previously reported, Paul McCartney will join Dolly Parton in a cover of "Let it Be" featured on her upcoming Rockstar album. But now we learn that the track also features Ringo on drums - along with Mick Fleetwood and Peter Frampton.

Via Spin:

Rockstar will be released Nov. 17 on Parton’s Butterfly Records through Big Machine Label Group and contains a whopping 30 songs, including nine originals. The first single, the guest-free “World on Fire,” will arrive Thursday (May 11).

“If I’m going to be in the Rock and Roll Hall Of Fame, I better do something to earn it,” Parton said during an appearance on The View earlier this year, referencing her initial reluctance to accept enshrinement back in 2022. “So I’m doing a rock ‘n’ roll album and I’m having a lot of the rock stars that I met that night be on the album with me.”

Following their performance with Parton at the Rock Hall induction, Pink and Carlile will join her again for cover of the Rolling Stones’ “(I Can’t Get No) Satisfaction.” Elsewhere, Paul McCartney and Ringo Starr team with Peter Frampton and Mick Fleetwood on the Beatles’ “Let It Be,” while a new version of Lynyrd Skynyrd’s “Sweet Home Alabama” sports posthumous vocals from Ronnie Van Zandt and contributions from the band’s Artimus Pyle and the recently deceased Gary Rossington.
