NEW YORK, NY (December 9, 2013) – Iconic singer, songwriter, musician, actress and philanthropist Dolly Parton is proud to announce her latest recording endeavor, a partnership between her own label Dolly Records and Sony Masterworks.  The label deal will launch her new album Blue Smoke in New Zealand/Australia on January 31, 2014, to coincide with her international Blue Smoke World Tour which will hit New Zealand, Australia in February.  In addition, Blue Smoke will be released in the United States and Europe in May 2014, in advance of the Blue Smoke World Tour hitting England, Ireland, Scotland, Denmark, Germany, Norway and Sweden.

“We at Masterworks think that Blue Smoke sits with Dolly
Parton’s very best recorded work, as global audiences will discover when
she begins her world tour in January 2014. We’re very happy to be
associated with this great American music artist,” says Bogdan Roscic, President of Sony Masterworks.

Dolly is the most honored female country performer of all time.
Achieving 25 RIAA certified gold, platinum and multi-platinum awards,
she has had 25 songs reach number 1 on the Billboard Country charts, a
record for a female artist. She has 41 career top 10 country albums, a
record for any artist, and she has 110 career charted singles over the
past 40 years. All-inclusive sales of singles, albums, hits collections,
paid digital downloads and compilation usage during her Hall of Fame
career have reportedly topped a staggering 100 million records
worldwide. She has garnered 7 Grammy Awards, 10 Country Music
Association Awards, 5 Academy of Country Music Awards, 3 American Music
Awards and is one of only five female artists to win the Country Music
Association’s Entertainer of the Year Award.

As a zenith crown to the dreams of country music that originally
brought her to Nashville, Dolly was inducted as a member of the Country
Music Hall of Fame in 1999.  And the litany goes on.

Dolly’s career has spanned nearly five decades and is showing no
signs of slowing down.  An internationally-renowned superstar, the
iconic and irrepressible Parton has contributed countless treasures to
the worlds of music, film and television.  Some of her hit films have
included Nine to Five, Steel Magnolias, The Best Little Whorehouse in Texas and Rhinestone.  Parton received two Oscar® nominations – one for writing the title tune to Nine to Five and the other for Travelin’ Thru from the film Transamerica
