Stella Parton Celebrates Five Decades in the
Entertainment Industry with 40th Studio Album
NASHVILLE, Tenn. – Celebrating five decades in the entertainment industry as an international award-winning singer, songwriter, actress, author and producer, Stella Parton releases her 40th studio album, Survivor, today. The 10-track collection addresses different issues from the #MeToo movement and drug abuse to Alzheimer’s disease and divorce.

Survivor features eight of Parton's original songs including “I Ain’t Leavin’ ‘Til I’m Even," a collaboration with Nashville Songwriters Hall of Fame member Wayne Carson (“Always On My Mind”). For the remaining two songs, Parton put her own spin on Bob Seger's classic "Like A Rock" and Avicii's mega-hit "Wake Me Up." Parade.com exclusively premiered the music video for "Like A Rock," which Parton delivers with a "delicate vulnerability that rolls into a firm and adamant declaration of strength (Laura Whitmore/Parade)."

The Boot also exclusively premiered Parton's "Dirty Rotten Dog" music video that features Parton "performing the song in a brick-walled, pink-and yellow-lit studio, interspersed with both shots of a man and some adorable pooches (Angela Stefano/The Boot)." The self-penned song captures the signature spunk that earned the entertainer her nickname as "Country Music's Tina Turner." Music Row reviewer Robert K. Oermann writes: "The humorous, sarcastic ditty is catchy, her slide-guitar work is dandy and her stacked vocals in the fade are an audio delight."

While promoting the project, Parton recently appeared on FOX 17's "Rock & Review." The singer-songwriter also partnered with Cowboys & Indians for a feature where she shared how her parents' love story inspired the project's fifth track, "The Last Rose Of Summer." Celeb MixMusic Update CentralStage Right Secrets, Nashville Noise and The Country Note also premiered behind the scenes footage of Parton describing covering Avicii's "Wake Me Up" and sharing the inspiration behind several of the self-penned songs on the album. 

Parton independently produced Survivor, which she recorded at Nashville Sound Project House with engineer Mike Loudermilk. Survivor pays tribute to the self-sufficient spirit Parton established as the sixth of twelve children born to her impoverished Smoky Mountain Family. Since the moment Parton first stepped foot in Music City at 14-years-old with her older sister, Dolly, she has paved her own pathway in the industry becoming a pioneer for independent artists. Ten years later at a time when Music Row was controlled by major labels, the then 24-year-old single mother wrote, produced, recorded and secured the promotion and distribution of her very first album, I Want To Hold You (In My Dreams Tonight), which landed in the Billboard Top Ten.

The debut of I Want To Hold You (In My Dreams Tonight) propelled Parton on her path to stardom earning her a record deal with Elektra, a string of Billboard hits and a strong international following. That international following continues to this day with Parton's recent appearance as a contestant on BBC's "Celebrity MasterChef" alongside reality television stars Gemma Collins and Spencer Matthews and current role as a spokesperson for British Airways.
