On Tuesday night, the “9 to 5” singer shared avideo on Instagramexpressing her excitement for the release of her new book and album titledRun, Rose, Run. She also announced the release of “Big Dreams and Faded Jeans,” her first from the album.
“So many people come to Nashville with their sack of songs. Whether they’re running from anything or not, they’re running towards a future,” Parton wrote. “That’s what “Big Dreams and Faded Jeans” is all about. I am so pleased to finally share the first song from this exciting new album with all of you! 🌹”
The album is set to release on March 4, while the novel, which Parton co-wrote with James Patterson drops on March 7.
Last week, Jeni’s Splendid Ice Creamannounced the return of Strawberry Pretzel Pie, its collaboration with Parton for another limited-edition run.
Each pint features subtly sweet cream cheese ice cream that is layered with salty pretzel bits and red strawberry sauce. Like Parton herself, it’s “sweet and salty with timeless appeal, deep American roots, and makes you feel good,” the company said.
As before, sales from the flavor will benefit Parton’sImagination Library— the nonprofit she founded in 1995 that gifts free books to children from birth until they reach 5 years of age to encourage early reading. To date, the organization has gifted more than 173 million books.
But this time,Jeni’s Splendid Ice Creamsis making the offer twice as sweet — they’re also letting fans pre-order an exclusive digital version of Parton’s upcoming 12-song album that comes with a bonus 13th track, “Rose of My Heart.”
