Dolly Parton, the iconic country music legend, 78, is all set to release a lengthy new album, Dolly Parton & Family: Smoky Mountain DNA – Family, Faith and Fables, in November. This 36-song album will be based on her family’s (both her mother’s and father’s sides) origins and legacies from the U.K. to Tennessee. 

After releasing the title track of her new album, Parton has now released another song from the album, called ‘A Rose Won’t Fix It’ on Friday, August 23. It is a revival of an unreleased track from 1988, with her niece Heidi Parton, who is the daughter of Dolly’s brother Randy Parton. Heidi sang the lead vocals in the song and Parton herself sang the background vocals for both the verses and chorus.

The lyrics of the song emphasize how flowers aren’t enough to make up for one’s mistakes. It was originally written and recorded for Parton’s 1988 album ‘Hungry Again’, but is being revived because it didn’t make the final cut that year.

Heidi expressed her feelings about being part of the song with her Aunt through an Instagram post on Friday. She wrote, “I’m so honored to be a part of this incredible family project. To have the song I got to be a part of as a single release is one of the greatest moments of my life! And our family is so talented and I can’t wait for you all to hear that talent on November 15th of this year”.
