Dolly Parton wants to bring back the members of Led Zeppelin to make a new rock album.

Dolly Parton has done many amazing things in her career. She’s written and sung lots of great songs, given away over 100 million books to kids who need them, supported research for the COVID vaccine, and even made her own amusement park.

Now, as she goes back to the studio for a new album, she’s trying something really challenging: bringing back the members of Led Zeppelin. Dolly wants Robert Plant and Jimmy Page to join her in playing “Stairway to Heaven” on her new rock and roll album. Dolly is known for making things happen, so if anyone can make this reunion work, it’s her.

Dolly, usually known for her country pop music, is exploring a different style with this rock and roll album. The idea came up when she was nominated for the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. Some people questioned if she was the right fit for a hall that celebrates rock music. Dolly agreed and decided not to accept the nomination, thinking there might be someone more deserving. Even though she was happy about the nomination, she felt she hadn’t “earned that right.”

Dolly Parton hinted that she might try making a rock and roll album in the future. Even though she didn’t feel she deserved the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame nomination, she decided to stay on the ballot. Fans voted for her, and she will be inducted next year. Now, determined to prove herself as a “rock and roll” musician, Dolly is turning her dream of a rock album into reality.

She explained in an interview with Pollstar that she always wanted to make a rock album, especially because her husband loves hard rock music. She thought, “Why not go ahead and do it while people are interested?” Dolly hopes to have some legendary rock musicians sing along with her on this new adventure.

Dolly Parton has a big plan for her new album: she wants to bring back Jimmy Page and Robert Plant to re-record their famous song, “Stairway to Heaven.”

Robert Plant and Jimmy Page are famous for being the lead singer and guitarist of the legendary rock band Led Zeppelin. Led Zeppelin is one of the most successful and influential rock bands in history.

Even though fans have been asking for more Led Zeppelin music for a long time, the band officially split up in 1980 after their drummer, John Bonham, passed away.

The surviving members of the band have only performed together once, a sold-out 2007 benefit concert in honor of in honor of Atlantic Records founder Ahmet Ertegun. The performance was well-received and the bandmates expressed interest in a full reunion, but Plant declined, and conversations of a Zeppelin reunion have stalled.

“We’re 41 years into it now,” Plant told Mojo News in 2021. “The conversation doesn’t really go on now, because that spaceship has [departed].”

Dolly Parton is really determined to have the members of Led Zeppelin, Robert Plant and Jimmy Page, join her in the studio. She wants them to be a part of her new album where she’ll cover their famous song, “Stairway to Heaven.”

Dolly is hopeful that Robert Plant might sing on the song, and Jimmy Page might play the guitar parts. The last time Page and Plant performed together was in 2007, and it’s not clear how serious Dolly’s plan is or if she’ll involve the other living members of Led Zeppelin.

Dolly has a history with “Stairway to Heaven.” She already recorded a cover of the song in a different style on her album “Halo and Horns,” turning it into a country tune with bluegrass guitar.

Dolly Parton wants to make a new version of the song “Stairway to Heaven” for her upcoming rock album. She plans to go back to the heavy rock and roll style that the song originally had.

Dolly is hoping to have Jimmy Page and Robert Plant from Led Zeppelin join her on this project. She also wants other famous singers to collaborate on the album. Even though she hasn’t decided who yet, she’s excited about making the album.

A lot of music fans would be thrilled to hear Dolly Parton and Led Zeppelin working together. It’s like a dream for many people who love music. Let’s hope Dolly can make it happen! If you’re excited about Dolly Parton’s new rock album, share this story!
