Dolly Parton is ready to rock and roll – and she’s got the Beatles back together to help her.
Sir Paul McCartney, 80, and Sir Ringo Starr, 82, teamed up with the country music singer to record Let It Be on her latest album, Rockstar.
As well as the Fab Two, the Beatles classic features Peter Frampton and Mick Fleetwood.
Dolly, 77, has also made tracks with several other legends – including Don’t Let The Sun Go Down On Me with Sir Elton John, Every Breath You Take, with Sting and Wrecking Ball, with her god-daughter Miley Cyrus.

She said: “I am very honoured and privileged to have worked with some of the greatest iconic singers and musicians of all time.
“To be able to sing all the iconic songs was a joy beyond measure.”
Dolly decided to channel her inner rock chick after her induction into the Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame last year.
Rockstar – the first rock record of Dolly’s 50-plus years in showbiz – comes after she promised to “live up to the honour”.
As well as 21 cover-versions, there are nine original numbers, including World On Fire, which is released tomorrow.
It gets its premiere tonight when Dolly sings it at the Academy Of Country Music awards in Frisco, Texas.
