Please don’t take her man! Beyoncé just released the tracklist for her upcoming album, Cowboy Carter, officially confirming that the Grammy winner will indeed be covering one of the best country songs of all time: Dolly Parton’s “Jolene.”
On Wednesday at noon, the “Break My Soul” singer shared a post on her official Instagram account with a red, white and blue-themed tracklist from her highly anticipated project “Act II.” Song titles include “The Linda Martell Show,” “American Requiem,” and yes, “Jolene.” While the artists who will appear on the album remain unclear, the post includes the titles “Dolly P” and “Smoke Hour Willie Nelson,” which could feature songs referencing the country titans or featuring them as collaborators.
As previously reported by theGrio, Parton has already teased a possible cover of “Jolene.” In an interview with Knox News, Parton explained, “I think she did a song called ‘Jolene,’ and I think it’ll probably be on her country album, which I’m really excited about.”
“We have been sending messages back and forth over the years,” Parton continued. “And she and her mother were like fans, and it always touched me that they were fans, and I always thought she was great.”
