The Wait is over!! Dolly Parton’s Rock album has arrived. When she was elected in to the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame, she said she would make a rock record so she would belong in the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame!! I’m really interested in to hear what she put together because the guest list is really impressive. And I am also interested in the new Micheal Sweet project called Soledrive with Alessandro Del Vecchio. The man is always working on new music. What are you most interested in the week? Let us know and what we may have missed as well. Thanks for stopping by and I hope you have a wonderful weekend.

Definitely an interesting story. I’m old enough to remember being happy when they were stripped of their Grammy, and stores offering refunds on their albums… but that was before one of them committed suicide.

As you and Mike discussed it was because of the documentary. I see Milli Vanilli as different then people lip-syncing. These guys weren’t even the singers. That is wrong on so many levels. I can get over someone lip-syncing their own music but this…no

I have no issues👍just more curiosity of why Sony can release a hits collection of a non existent duo, who surely got the short end of the stick when the musical turd hit the fan, with tragic results.

Apparently so. With the Documentary on them out, I guess they are capitalizing on it with this.

I just looked up Dolly’s album on Wikipedia and dang, there’s way too many songs on there! I have no intention of getting it, but props to her for making a rock album just to prove she wasn’t inducted into the Rock ‘n’ Roll Hall of Fame for nothing. There are few covers I want to check out, but that’s it. Also, since when was Leslie Odom Jr. a singer? Strange.
