Yeehaw or nah? The verdict on Beyoncé’s ‘Cowboy Carter’ collabs with Dolly Parton, Willie Nelson and more
NY Post
Honey B, meet Dolly P.
Without singing a single note, Dolly Parton is the extra-special guest on “Cowboy Carter,” Beyoncé’s just-dropped country album that flips the script on the usual Nashville narrative.
And the Queen of Country’s cameo couldn’t come at a more perfect place than the “Dolly P” intro to Honey B’s cover of her certified classic “Jolene,” which recently turned 50.
“Hey Miss Honey B, it’s Dolly P,” says Parton, 79, with all her familiar, down-home warmth.
“You know that hussy with the good hair you sing about?” she continues, referencing the infamous, man-stealing “Becky” from “Lemonade” standout “Sorry.”
“Reminding me of someone I knew back when/Except she has flamin’ locks of auburn hair … Just a hair of a different color, but it hurts just the same.”
