Kenny Rogers

Kenny Rogers is returning with his new album "You Can't Make Old Friends" on Tuesday, October 8th via Warner Bros. Records.

The album reunites Rogers with long-time friend and collaborator Dolly Parton for a brand new duet on the title track. It will be almost thirty years to the day when Kenny and Dolly released "Islands In The Stream."

"What a thrill it was for me to work again with my buddy, Dolly Parton, and what a special song," remarked Rogers. "Working with Dolly is always a little like going home. Everything felt comfortable."

With a collaboration of producers, including Kyle Lehning, Warren Hartman, and Dann Huff, "You Can't Make Old Friends" is Rogers' first country album since the release of "Water & Bridges" in 2006.

"I can honestly say this may be the best album I've ever recorded," added Rogers. "The musical diversity is extraordinary. It goes from songs I would normally sing, to songs I would normally never even listen to. In this business, you do albums to both grow artistically, and for the sheer love of music. We chose what I think are the most diverse and best songs I've ever had access to."

Fans who pre-order the new album on iTunes will receive an instant download of the "You Can't Make Old Friends" duet. Special pre-sale bundles, including a physical copy of the CD, are being offered at www.KennyRogers.com.
