Local fans can get a special first listen of Dolly Parton’s upcoming "Rockstar" album at the Cinemark Tinseltown Oak Ridge movie theater, as well as two theaters in Knoxville.
Theaters everywhere will present "Rockstar: The Global First Listen Event," on Nov 15. The cinematic screening features music videos for songs on the album, behind-the-scenes moments, rare performances of “9 to 5” and the holiday song “Circle of Love” and an exclusive interview with Parton. The Cinemark Tinseltown website says the special screening is one hour and seven minutes in length.
“I am excited to know that my fans around the world will be able to come together and be the first to hear a sneak peek of my 'Rockstar' album,” Parton said in a news release. “I am so proud of this music, and I am humbled by all the wonderful artists who joined me. I cannot wait for people to hear it!”
Tickets can be purchased at dollyrockstarevent.com or at the theaters or their websites. The showtime is 7 p.m. Nov. 15.
Encore presentations of the film will be presented in select theaters Nov. 16. Currently, the encore presentations are not scheduled for the Oak Ridge and Knoxville theaters. Check dollyrockstarevent.com for more details or changes. A portion of ticket sales will benefit Music Will, a nonprofit music program for U.S. public school systems.
“Rockstar,” Parton’s first rock album, comes out Nov. 17 and features classic rock anthems like “Stairway to Heaven,” “Heartbreaker,” (I Can’t Get No) Satisfaction,” “Let It Be” and “Purple Rain.”
In an interview with Knox News in September, Parton talked about switching to full-blown rock star mode for the album. “I learned a lot about myself, and I worked hard at it. I would hear all the stuff and I’d wonder if I could hit that note,” Parton said.
“I thought, well, I'm just going to go for it. If it turns out great, great. And if it don't, I'll say ‘Erase that right now!’" Parton said with a laugh. “But I squalled at it. I mean, I hit it. I got in there.”
Paul McCartney, Steven Tyler, Miley Cyrus, Lizzo, Sheryl Crow, Elton John and Stevie Nicks are a few of the many musicians who make appearances on the 30-track album.
