Dolly Parton
Apr 11, 2011
The great Dolly Parton is returning this summer with a much-anticipated album of all-new studio material, "Better Day," and a world tour bringing her throughout America and then onto the U.K, Europe and Australia. The album's first single "Together You & I," will be performed by Dolly, on Thursday, May 26 on "The Ellen DeGeneres Show" as the song simultaneously arrives at Country radio. The song's video will debut shortly thereafter.
"I wanted to do an album that would be very uplifting and positive, as well as inspirational," said Dolly. "Times are hard all over. I think people need to feel better and I thought "Better Day," was a perfect title because it says 'hope.'"
The "Better Day," world tour launches July 17th in Knoxville in her home state of Tennessee and will be highlighted by two shows (July 22 and 23) at the historic Hollywood Bowl in Los Angeles. Next, the tour moves overseas starting August 20th and will feature a pair of shows (September 7th and 8th) at the O2 Arena in London.
