Earlier this year, Dolly surprised her fans with new music to celebrate her 78th birthday. Dolly released the 'Rockstar Deluxe’ album. 

Taking to social media, the legend announced: “Hey fans and friends, It’s my birthday so I’m going to give you a present!”

The deluxe album features four new songs and others that did not make it onto the 'Rockstar' album. 

“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," she wrote on Instagram.  

The new songs on the album include, 'Rockin’ It (Live)', 'Hit Me With Your Best Shot', 'Mama Never Said', 'Two Tickets To Paradise', 'Jolene (featuring Måneskin)', 'Stay Out Of My Bedroom', 'Bridge Over Troubled Water', 'The Entertainer', and 'Sweet Dreams (Are Made Of This)'.
