Dolly Parton released her new album “Rockstar” this morning, so first thing, I had to crank it up while making breakfast.

Here’s my first favorite off the album… her version of  Journey’s “Open Arms” with former lead vocalist Steve Perry.

Ahhhhhhhhh! I was not excpecting that. Just a reminder: Dolly is 77, and her voice is still that amazing. “Open Arms” is NOT an easy song to sing, with those soaring, open notes, but Dolly just made it her own.

So, so beautiful.
