Dolly Parton's birthday gift to fans is an expanded version of Rockstar

The deluxe edition of the country icon's rock album includes four new tracks that have never been released before.

It's Dolly Parton's birthday this week, but don't worry about getting her anything. Instead, she has a gift for all of us.

"Hey fans and friends, it's my birthday so I'm going to give you a present!" Parton wrote on her Instagram page. "I'm releasing four never-released songs for my birthday, to go with the Rockstar album, and a few others that you may have heard before that were not on the album. I hope you enjoy them, and I hope you all have a happy birthday for me! LOL. Thanks for everything."

Parton has been teasing Rockstar since the end of 2022, and the covers album of classic rock and pop hits finally landed on Nov. 17, 2023. It features a star-studded cast of guest stars, including Parton's goddaughter Miley Cyrus joining her on a new version of "Wrecking Ball," Pink and Brandi Carlile on the Rolling Stones' "(I Can't Get No) Satisfaction," and Lizzo on Led Zeppelin's "Stairway to Heaven," among others.

But now there's also Rockstar (Deluxe), which features a bunch more tracks. Some of them were previously available on retailer-exclusive editions of the album, but four have never been previously released. Those are new covers of "Stay Out Of My Bedroom" (a song she originally wrote for Rhinestone, her 1984 movie with Sylvester Stallone), Simon & Garfunkel's "Bridge Over Troubled Water," Billy Joel's "The Entertainer," and a cover of Eurythmics' "Sweet Dreams (Are Made Of This)."

You can find Rockstar (Deluxe) on any music platform. Do Parton a favor and listen to the expanded tracklist for her birthday!
