Rockstar, the star-studded rock’n’roll album by our November cover star, Dolly Parton, has arrived. Stream it below.

Inspired by her induction into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2022, Rockstar is the 49th full-length release from Parton, and features a variety of new originals and classic rock covers, as well as a heap of guest appearances by artists like Paul McCartney, Elton John, Stevie Nicks, Ringo Starr, Miley Cyrus, Chris Stapleton, Debbie Harry, Nikki Sixx, and many more.

Speaking with Paramore’s Hayley Williams for Consequence’s most recent cover story, Parton explained that when she found out she was voted into the Rock Hall, she “didn’t feel like [she’d] earned it.” To make up for that, she got into the studio and cut a proper rock album, without cutting any corners. “That was important to me: not to half-ass do a record that’s a country girl singing some rock,...

It’s early Saturday evening and contemporary bluesman Cedric Burnside — the grandson of the great R.L. Burnside — is sitting on a large rock along the banks of the French Broad River. A hot mid-summer sun falls behind the Blue Ridge Mountains cradling his current location in Asheville, North Carolina.

“It’s something I grew up with — grew up playing and grew up living,” Burnside tells Rolling Stone of his blues lineage. “R.L. Burnside opened the door for our family and other great musicians who love the Hill Country blues...

Dolly Parton has often been described as a rock star, but now she’s making that designation a literal one with the upcoming release of her first album of rock music.

Appropriately titled Rockstar, the new album is bursting with 30 hard-hitting tracks featuring a who’s who of guest stars on nine original tracks and 21 classic rock anthems.

In fact, that list is long and impressive including: former Bon Jovi guitarist Richie Sambora on the title track; a duet on “Wrecking Ball” with her goddaughter Miley Cyrus; teaming up with Sting for the Police classic “Every Breath You Take” and with Peter Frampton on his Frampton Comes Alive hit “Baby I Love Your Way”; and, in what’s got to a showstopper, collaborating with Paul McCartney and...

Dolly Parton is ready to rock ‘n’ roll: the country music icon is set to release a rock album featuring collaborations with Paul McCartney, Ringo Starr, Elton John, Stevie Nicks, Lizzo and Miley Cyrus.

The Grammy winner and Rock and Roll Hall of Famer will drop Rockstar on Nov. 17. The 30-track album will include nine original songs and 21 rock covers, including “Purple Rain,” “We Are the Champions,” “Every Breath You Take” with Sting and “Let It Be” with McCartney, Starr, Peter Frampton and Mick Fleetwood.

“I’m so excited to finally present my first Rock and Roll album Rockstar! I am very honored and privileged to have worked with some of the greatest iconic singers and musicians of all time and to be able to sing all the iconic songs throughout the album was a joy beyond measure,” Parton, 77, said in a statement. “I hope everybody enjoys the album as...

It’s probably safe to say that Dolly Parton will be the only artist this year (and possibly ever) whose new album will include features by Lizzo, Rob Halford, Paul McCartney, and Stevie Nicks. The dual Country Music and Rock and Roll Hall of Fame member’s long-awaited rock project Rockstar will bow Nov. 17 and includes more than 40 guests across its 30 tracks.

Largely a covers project, Rockstar includes Parton’s versions of 21 classics along with nine originals. The tracklist announced on Tuesday shows that she reprises many songs with their original performers,...

Upon her induction into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame last year, Dolly Parton announced her intention to record a rock album. “If I’m gonna be in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, I’m gonna have to earn it,” she said at the time.

Parton has spent the last year making good on that promise by enlisting some of the biggest names in music to join her in recording a mix of rock ‘n’ roll originals and covers. The end result, aptly titled Rockstar, will arrive on November 17th via her own Butterfly Records in conjunction with Big Machine Label Group.

When Dolly calls, everyone answer. Just look at the massive 30-song tracklist for Rockstar: there’s literally a Beatles reunion! Steve Perry sings a Journey song! Lizzo plays jazz flute on “Stairway to Heaven”!

Among the notable covers, Sting accompanies Parton on The Police’s “Every Breath You Take,...

When Artimus Pyle, the drummer of Lynyrd Skynyrd for the bulk of the Seventies, heard the news yesterday about the death of his former bandmate, guitarist Gary Rossington, he immediately pulled up the last text messages between the two.

“I’ve already gone back, looked at them, and read the entire thread between Gary and I. And I will cherish these texts for the rest of my life,” Pyle, who replaced original drummer Bob Burns in 1975, tells Rolling Stone over the phone from his home in rural North Carolina.

Rossington...

Guitarist and songwriter Gary Rossington, the last original member of Lynyrd Skynyrd, who survived their 1977 plane crash and played with the band until this year, died Sunday. He was 71.

“It is with our deepest sympathy and sadness that we have to advise, that we lost our brother, friend, family member, songwriter and guitarist, Gary Rossington, today,” the band wrote on its official Facebook page. “Gary is now with his Skynyrd brothers and family in heaven and playing it pretty, like he always does.”

Gary Rossington, guitarist and longest-tenured original member of Lynyrd Skynyrd, has died at the age of 71.

“It is with our deepest sympathy and sadness that we have to advise, that we lost our brother, friend, family member, songwriter and guitarist, Gary Rossington, today,” the band announced on Sunday (March 5th). “Gary is now with his Skynyrd brothers and family in heaven and playing it pretty, like he always does.”

Rossington formed Lynyrd Skynyrd in 1964 with childhood friends Ronnie Van Zant (singer-songwriter), Allen Collins (guitar), Larry Junstrom (bass), and Bob Burns (drums). The band spent a number of years touring small venues under various names and with several lineup changes before being discovered by Al Kooper of Blood, Sweat & Tears. Lynyrd Skynyrd released their debut in 1973 with a lineup featuring Rossington, Van Zant, Collins, and Burns, along with guitarist Ed King and keyboardist Billy Powell. Burns left in 1974 and was replaced by Artimus Pyle,...

Gary Rossington, a founding member of Lynyrd Skynyrd whose ethereal slide guitar helped make the Southern rock band’s song “Free Bird” an indelible anthem, died Sunday at the age of 71.

Lynyrd Skynyrd will revisit a classic Seventies performance with the release of a new DVD, CD, and LP set. Lynyrd Skynyrd: Live at Knebworth ‘76 arrives April 9th.

The concert was recorded at the long-running Knebworth, England, festival on August 21st, 1976, with a classic Skynyrd lineup of singer Ronnie Van Zant, guitarists Gary Rossington, Allen Collins, and Steve Gaines, bassist Leon Wilkeson, drummer Artimus Pyle, keyboardist Billy Powell, and backing vocalists the Honkettes. Van Zant and Gaines would be among those who died in the band’s tragic plane crash a year later.

"This is something that should've have happened. But it did." 1091 has released an official trailer for a film titled Street Survivors, though the full title also sets up the plot: Street Survivors: The True Story of the Lynyrd Skynyrd Plane Crash. This is not a documentary, it's a fictional feature made about the plane crash. Strange but it's real. This premiered at the Hollywood Reel Independent Film Festival last year. Street Survivors centers on drummer Artimus Pyle's experience as a band member with Lynyrd Skynyrd and the tragically fateful day their rented plane crashed in the late evening in the swamps of Gillsburg, Ms in October of 1977 and took the lives of singer Ronnie Van Zant, guitarist Steve Gaines, his sister back up singer Cassie Gaines, their road manager Dean Kilpatrick, and the two pilots. Starring Ian Shultis, Taylor Clift, Jon Briddell, Sean McNabb, Kelly Lynn Reiter, and Krystyna Ahlers.

Street Survivors: The True Story Of The Lynyrd Skynyrd Plane Crash is now available on Blu-ray and DVD from Cleopatra Entertainment. Check out the trailer:

In 1977, a plane carrying Southern rock legends Lynyrd Skynyrd mysteriously runs out of gas mid-air en route to a concert, crashing into a dangerous Louisiana swamp while killing several of the band members, crew and both pilots.

Street Survivors: The True Story Of The Lynyrd Skynyrd Plane Crash tells the story thru one of the survivors, drummer Artimus Pyle, who not only survived the fatal crash (that claimed the life of the band’s founder and front man Ronnie Van Zant amongst others), but who also bravely pulled the remaining survivors out of the plane wreckage before staggering towards the nearest farmhouse in rural Louisiana to seek help.

It may be a blessing of sorts for anyone interested in checking out “Street Survivors: The True Story of the Lynyrd Skynyrd Plane Crash” that its VOD release is coming in the middle of a pandemic, when not very many people are rushing to get back on planes again anyway. The film delivers on the promise — or threat — of its title in a big, vivid way, with enough drawn-out suspense once engines start backfiring and enough grisly carnage on the ground to give most viewers at least a second thought about flying again soon, at least on a prop-engine plane, and especially one with musicians on board. Despite its probably modest budget, “Street Survivors” is actually first-class as convincingly harrowing aeronautical disaster movies go, if you’re a follower of the genre that has Peter Weir’s 1993 “Fearless” to live up to.

Whether it’s a superior example of a rock biopic is another matter,...

Lynyrd Skynyrd are stretching their farewell tour to “Freebird”-sized proportions by adding dozens of new summer dates.

On Sunday afternoon, right when the folks of Asheville, North Carolina, had either finished shoveling more than a foot of snow that had fallen overnight or were simply hungover from a weekend spent at Warren Haynes’ 30th Christmas Jam, the Gov’t Mule frontman and Dave Grohl, who performed his hard-rock opus “Play” at the Jam the night prior, decided to put on another show.

“Tonight happened because of this snowstorm that hit, knowing we probably weren’t going to fly out today,” Grohl told Rolling Stone following the performance...

Lynyrd Skynyrd’s surviving members cannot prevent the release of the film Street Survivors: The True Story of the Lynyrd Skynyrd Plane Crash, a federal appeals court ruled Wednesday. The Second U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in Manhattan, New York overturned a permanent injunction that previously halted the movie, which depicts the 1977 plane crash that killed the Southern rock act’s then-frontman, Ronnie Van Zant.

Street Survivors, named after the group’s 1977 LP of the same name, is partially based on the recollections of former drummer Artimus Pyle, who...

The Second Circuit Court of Appeals reversed a judge’s 2017 ban on “Street Survivor: The True Story of the Lynyrd Skynyrd Plane Crash” on Wednesday.

“We conclude that the terms of the Consent Order are inconsistent, or at least insufficiently precise, to support an injunction, and we therefore reverse the judgment of the District Court and vacate the injunction,” court documents obtained by TheWrap read.

In August 2017, a judge blocked the distribution of a film about Southern-rock pioneers Lynyrd Skynyrd, following a dispute between the surviving members of the group and independent record label Cleopatra Records, which planned to distribute the film.

It's a Black Flag Christmas as Captain Kirk trades in his starship for a sleigh.

Christmas is coming and, like the Grinch in the Dr. Seuss Classic, William Shatner is a transformed man. The former Denny Crain is putting out his first-ever Christmas album, called Shatner Claus - The Christmas Album on Oct. 26. And he's assembled enough of a varied lineup of guests they could star in the "Journey to Babel" episode of the original Star Trek. Jethro Tull flautist and singer Ian Anderson, protopunk Iggy Pop, folk songstress Judy Collins, prog pianist Rick Wakeman, utopian pop master Todd Rundgren, country star Brad Paisley mix up the styles for the actor who once sold Priceline.

The man who shouted "Mr. Tambourine Man" with the same gusto he screamed "Khan," put out the track list of the album on Thursday, and followed it up with a chestnut he...

A new documentary promises to tell the full story of one of southern rock’s defining bands, warts and all. The film, Lynyrd Skynyrd: If I Leave Here Tomorrow, covers a lot of ground: the band’s rise from Jacksonville, Florida, the plane crash that killed vocalist Ronnie Van Zant, guitarist Steve Gaines and several crew members, their return and unflinching use of the Confederate flag. It will premiere on Showtime on August 18th at 9 p.m. Et and Pt.

Thanks to two recent judicial decisions, appeals courts will be grappling with issues that could impact the future of biopics, documentaries and maybe even journalism. As a result, Hollywood studios, press organizations and others are coming out in force to warn of consequences.

The first case concerns a film titled Street Survivor: The True Story of the Lynyrd Skynyrd Plane Crash.

Just a few months after the sole surviving member of Lynryd Skynryd, founding lead guitarist Gary Rossington and the estates of Ronnie Van Zant and Steve Gaines, sued drummer Artimus Pyle to stop the release of a Lynryd Skynryd biopic, a judge has now halted the release. While it's extremely rare for a judge to block a movie from release before it hits theaters, that's exactly what U.S. District Court judge Robert Sweet did, preventing the release of Street Survivors: The True Story of the Lynyrd Skynyrd Plane Crash. Here's a portion of Robert Sweet's opinion, revealing why Artimus Pyle and the production company Cleopatra Films had no right to make this movie.

"Cleopatra is prohibited from making its movie about Lynyrd Skynyrd when its partner substantively contributes to the project in a way that, in the past, he willingly bargained away the very right to do just that; in any other circumstance,...

If the tragic tale of iconic Southern rockers Lynyrd Skynyrd ever makes it to the big screen, it will not be the one based on the story of the band’s one-time drummer, Artimus Pyle.

Artimus Pyle, the drummer during Lynyrd Skynyrd's classic years in the 1970s, announced plans to make a biopic on the band entitled Street Survivors: The True Story of The Lynyrd Skynyrd Plane Crash last year. The current band and the families of those killed in the 1977 plane crash are taking Pyle to court to try and stop the movie from being made. On October 20th, 1977, the band's plane crashed into a heavily forested area, killing lead singer Ronnie Van Zandt, guitar player Steve Gaines, and backup singer Cassie Gaines. The accident came just three days after the release of their album Street Survivors, which pictured the band surrounded by flames. After the crash McA, Records changed the cover to remove the flames out of respect to the band and families.

As previously reported, Artimus Pyle announced his intention on making a biopic entitled Freebird (the band's most iconic song...
