Dolly Parton is showing no signs of slowing down. The Grammy-winning Oscar-nominated singer/songwriter has a new album, Blue Smoke, coming out on May 13, 2014 and she’ll be on the road promoting it beginning February 11th. The Blue Smoke World Tour will kick off in Melbourne, stopping in Adelaide, Sydney, and Brisbane before heading to the US in May. After seven US concert dates, Parton will head to the UK and Europe for 21 stops. The Blue Smoke World Tour will finish up on July 11th in Stockholm, Sweden.
“On this CD I think there are all of the colors of my life in all the areas of music that you’ve allowed me to dabble in through the years,” said Dolly Parton. “You will hear my old world mountain voice on songs like ‘Banks of The Ohio’ and ‘If I Had Wings,’ my tender side on songs like ‘Miss You – Miss Me’ and ‘Unlikely Angel.’ My country / bluegrass side of songs like ‘Home,’ ‘Blue Smoke’ and ‘Don’t Think Twice’ and my funny tongue-in-cheek side on ‘Lover du Jour.'”
