<\/a> <\/div>\nJennifer Havener grew up in a small town in Upstate New York. She earned her B.A in Writing & Literature from Naropa University in Boulder, Colorado. She always knew watching reality TV shows and soap operas, particularly ‘Days of Our Lives’, would come in handy someday. When she’s not writing, she’s playing with her dogs, Lola and Ruger<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n Dolly Parton still manages to surprise her fans even at the age of 79. While she is primarily thought of as a country singer, she was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2022. The move sparked fans to beg for a rock album. After initially expressing trepidation, the iconic singer gave fans exactly what they asked<\/a> for. And she did not disappoint.<\/p>\n She released\u00a0Rockstar<\/em> in late 2023. The album of rock cover songs included collaborations with rock icons like Bon Jovi\u2019s Richie Sambora, Heart\u2019s Ann Wilson, and the two surviving members of The Beatles, Paul McCartney and Ringo Starr.<\/p>\n Her latest collaboration proves that Dolly Parton isn\u2019t done rocking yet. Keep reading for all the details on why she teamed up with an 80s hair band for a good cause.<\/p>\n Dolly Parton unleashed her inner rock star, and now she can\u2019t unleash it. She collaborated with a huge 80s hair band to commemorate the 40th anniversary of one of their biggest hits.<\/p>\n Motley Crue dominated the airways throughout the 80s with their rock songs. While the \u2018hair band\u2019 fad faded, the group stayed on top of the charts. They released many hits over the years, but \u201cHome Sweet Home\u201d is their most iconic. They released the song in 1985. It was remixed in 1991 with additional instruments. The 1991 video focused heavily on drummer Tommy Lee, and of course, lead singer Vince Neil.<\/p>\n The band embarked on what they called their final tour in 2015. However, they\u2019ve continued to tour since then, but without original band member Mick Mars. Sadly, Mick Mars had a falling out with the other band members over salary and other issues. The band tapped John 5 to replace him on the tour.<\/p>\n John 5 and Motley Crue member Nikki Six previously collaborated with Dolly Parton on the song \u201cBygones\u201d from her rock album.<\/p>\n Now she\u2019s teamed up with the entire band on a re-release of \u201cHome Sweet Home\u201d in honor of the show\u2019s 40th anniversary. But that\u2019s not the only special thing<\/a> about the collaboration.<\/p>\n It also raises money for the Covenant House<\/a>, which helps reduce homelessness not only in the US, but also around the world.<\/p>\n \u201cIt was an honor and a joy working in the studio on M\u00f6tley Cr\u00fce\u2019s 40th Anniversary re-release of \u2018Home Sweet Home.\u2019 I was so pleased that they would ask me to sing on such a classic,\u201d Dolly Parton said in the press release<\/a> about the surprising partnership.<\/p>\n The video of Dolly Parton and Motley Crue\u2019s collaboration was posted on YouTube. The video mixes footage from the band\u2019s previous renditions, as well as Dolly Parton in the studio recording the updated version.<\/p>\n<\/a><\/div>\nDolly Parton Joins Forces With 80s Hair Band<\/h3>\n
