Since she was elected to the rock hall of fame about a year ago, Dolly decided to release a rock album.
It is out today!

I wonder if it's as good as Pat Boone's rock album was:

It should be quite good. There are 30 songs on the album & the vast majority are covers. The covers are usually performed along with whoever had the big hit on that song.

Sounds sorta backwards, entering the hall first, then recording a rock album after.

In fairness, Dolly has spent her entire career entering a room before she arrived.

Eek. My stupid curiosity got the better of me. I listened to about the first 30 seconds of several tracks from the album on YouTube, and I could handle no more of it. It reminded me of K-Tel knockoffs of hits, just horrid. If it's for you, that's fine, but I hope to never hear another moment from it.
