“I did a couple of bluegrass things on the Blue Smoke album, because Blue Smoke itself kind of hints at the fact that’s it’s bluegrass,”; said Parton. “I’ve loved that music all my life. It’s really part of my soul, part of my Smokey Mountain DNA. So I thought, “Well, I need to actually put a few of those songs in there, just to be true to myself, and true to the music.”;
She added, “And those are some of my favourite cuts in the whole CD.”;
Blue Smoke is Parton’s 42nd studio album, after Better Day, her last release in June 2011. The album features a duet with Kenny Rogers in You Can’t Make Old Friends.
To promote the album, Parton is going on a Blue Smoke World Tour, which is the 11th concert tour of her career. It began in January and she’s set to play 40 shows across the globe, ending in mid-July.
