Fresh, versatile and totally stunning!
Dolly Parton, dubbed the reigning Queen of Country Music…
is switching gears in her new raving releases of classic rock songs that we all know and love. In a strand of single releases, followed by a full-length album, we find the single ”Magic Man” – originally recorded and released by Heart in 1975 (CA) / 1976 (US) and featuring none other than Heart’s powerhouse herself, Ann Wilson on vocals.
”Magic Man” once again proves the versatility of Dolly’s musicianship and with a new vocal arrangement sung as a duet – the two legendary singers delivers a fresh take on the classic. Showcasing the phenomenal songwriting while maintaining the original core of the arrangement, they two queens still manages to create a version that feels new and interesting. It is quite lovely to hear how their voices work together in this 5-minute banger.

Massive kudos to Dolly for stepping into new musical territories and for exploring new collaborations. It makes one wonder – is there anything Dolly can’t do? Proving, once again, her musical versatility and courage – Dolly delivers a stunning single and I am very much looking forward to hearing more.
