Beyoncé is preparing to release her new album "Act II: Cowboy Carter" on Friday, March 29. After unveiling the track list on Instagram, fans noticed "Jolene," and it appears that the track could be a cover of Dolly Parton's renowned hit. Fueling the rumors further, the album teaser image prominently features the name "Dolly P," and Parton herself has previously hinted at the cover releasing on Beyoncé's album.
Key Details
- The graphic presents a long list of song titles, like "American Requiem," "Blackbird," "My Rose" and "Bodyguard," among others.
- There's also mention of Linda Martell, the first Black woman to ever grace the Grand Ole Opry stage, with a title on the graphic that reads "The Linda Martell Show."
- The teaser also alludes to a track called "Smoke Hour Willie Nelson," and differing reports make it uncertain whether Nelson himself is linked directly to Beyoncé's forthcoming album.
