A TOM PETTY tribute album PETTY COUNTRY: A COUNTRY MUSIC CELEBRATION
comes out on June 21.

I’ll feature 20 covers by a star-studded cast of country artists such as George Strait, Steve Earle, Willie and Lukas Nelson, Marty Stuart, Luke Combs, Chris Stapleton, Wynonna Judd, and Carly Pearce.

DOLLY PARTON was also invited. She covers
SOUTHERN ACCENTS, the title track of Petty’s
1984 LP.

Parton: “I was fortunate enough to get to know Tom over the years. He’s such
an iconic artist and important songwriter. I’m so honored to be a part of this
special album and to be able to share my version of one of Tom’s best songs,
‘Southern Accents’.”

At 78 Parton‘s voice is still as impressive as the Eiffel Tower in Paris.
The accompanying video features some nostalgic Tom Petty home
footage.
