Country legend Dolly Parton has released World On Fire, the first single from her upcoming, eagerly awaited rock album Rockstar. Parton announced the details of the album earlier this week.
World On Fire is an acoustic guitar-driven epic in the vein of Bon Jovi's Wanted Dead Or Alive, but with a choir and the rhythm from Queen's We Will Rock You thrown into the mix. There's an upwards shift of mood at around the two-minute mark, and overall it's the kind of rock monster that's much more Sunset Strip than it is Honky Tonk Highway. There's even a bit towards the end that's clearly aimed at getting an audience to sing along.
