Sure, the Birds did great on the national stage, but there’s no denying that country music brought luck to the Eagles in Monday Night Football thanks to two of our biggest stars.

“Monday Night Football” is quickly becoming the place to hear awesome new collaborations. Last week it was Chris Stapleton and Snoop Dogg’s explosive version of the Phil Collins song “In The Air Tonight.”

This week – Stapleton returned to partner with Dolly Parton on another iconic classic rock track.

The two opened up “MNF” with their version of the Bob Seger classic, “Night Moves.” It not only kicked off an evening of football but also appears in its full version on Dolly’s upcoming album “Rockstar.” And, in a way that makes me know God loves Philadelphia, the song appeared the week the Eagles played Monday Night Football.

The Eagles beat up on the Bucs Monday night for a 25-11 win, bringing them to 3-0 on the season. If you like what you hear, more Dolly collabs are on the way in the coming weeks. According to ESPN, Week 6 (October 16th) will spotlight Dolly’s version of “Heartbreaker,” featuring Pat Benatar & Neil Giraldo. “Magic Man” and “Rockstar” will also be featured on different weeks ahead of release day. 

The full song will drop with the rest of the “Rockstar” album on November 17. Other songs on the album include “What’s Up” with Linda Perry, “Let It Be” with Paul McCartney and Ringo Starr, and “Bygones” with Rob Halford.

Dolly Parton – An Icon

It’s impossible to overstate Dolly Parton’s importance in country music. She’s been a living legend and genre icon for over five decades, releasing numerous albums and earning inductions into the Country Music Hall of Fame and the Songwriters Hall of Fame. Parton’s creative control of her music and career paved the way for other women in country music, making her one of the first female artists to achieve such success as a songwriter and performer. Now, she’s venturing into the rock world.

Dolly Parton’s Rock Album

After being inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame, she was inspired to create her own rock album. And she did just that! Dolly’s newest album, “Rock Star,” will release at the end of summer or early fall of 2023. The album is expected to have 28 tracks and prominent artists joining her.

While promoting her new book, “Billy the Kid” on Good Morning America, the country artist revealed that she will perform her first single, “World On Fire,” from her rock album, “Rock Star,” during the ACMs, which she will be co-hosting with Garth Brooks. She says, “The song has a great message, and it’s a good and solid rock anthem.”

During an interview on Late Night with Jimmy Fallon, Dolly revealed the big names from the rock world that will be singing on her new album. We can expect new singles and covers of your favorite rock songs like

  • (I Can’t Get No) Satisfaction – The Rolling Stones
  • Stairway To Heaven – Led Zepplin
  • Purple Rain – Prince
  • Free Bird – Lynyrd Skynyrd
