Dolly Parton Unveils New Song "The Story"
Queen of Country Dolly Parton has unveiled her version of Brandi Carlile hit single The Story. This song is taken from the upcoming album Cover Stories. Dolly Parton says of the cover:
I love Brandi Carlile, I love her singing, and I love her songs especially The Story. I was so honored and proud to be part of that song. It’s one of the highlights of my career.



On May 5th, Legacy Recordings (a division of Sony Music Entertainment) will release Cover Stories: Brandi Carlile Celebrates 10 Years of The Story – An Album to Benefit War Child. This historic collection features newly recorded versions of all fourteen songs from Carlile’s breakthrough T Bone Burnett-produced 2007 album The Story, which just last month was certified Gold by the RIAA in the US. Adele, The Avett Brothers, Kris Kristofferson, Dolly Parton, Pearl Jam, and Margo Price are among the artists and activists lending their voices to celebrate the album’s 10th anniversary, and Barack Obama will provide a foreword. All proceeds from the album will benefit War Child UK, an organisation dedicated to supporting children affected by conflict. Carlile’s nonprofit, the Looking Out Foundation, launched the Story Campaign last year to raise awareness and funds for War Child UK.
