Dolly Parton plans new album and tour

Posted  by Cindy Watts

Dolly Parton, 67, may be a senior citizen – but there’s nothing retired about her upcoming work schedule.
In addition to her announcement regarding her 10-year, $300 million expansion plan for her Dollywood theme park, Parton says she’s also planning an international tour and new music in the coming months.
Parton says her new album will be out in late fall or early winter and that she’ll start touring in January. She says her current itinerary includes concerts in the United States in January and May and she plans to Australia in February and Europe in June.
“I’ve been busy,” she says. “You know what, I guess if I had good sense I would get tired. I don’t even know what I’m doing. I just love to work, and it seems to all fall into place. I get it all done, and I love what I do. I brought this mess on myself. If I’m going to dream it, I’m going to have to do it.”
