Just when you think you've heard it all!
PIGEON FORGE, Tenn. (AP) - After taking a 10-year break from touring, country legend Dolly Parton said she's going back on the road.
She gets "thousands of calls a day," with people asking when she is going on tour, Parton said.
So she decided that if people really want to see her, she'll take her show back on the road and see if she likes touring again, Parton told reporters last weekend at a press conference marking the opening of the 17th season of her Dollywood theme park.
The tour dates and cities will be announced later.
Parton told reporters she will wait until May to begin rehearsing, but she
already has the band lined up.
Parton has a new album coming out in July, titled "Halos and Horns."
It's currently set to include a cover of Led Zeppelin's "Stairway to Heaven,"
and a bluegrass version of Bread's ballad "If" from 1971.
For the past several years, Parton has found critical success with projects
that looked back at the bluegrass music of her childhood in East Tennessee.
