Listen to Ronnie Milsap Duet With Dolly Parton on New Single, “Smoky Mountain Rain”

Earlier this year, Country Music Hall of Fame member Ronnie Milsap released a new album that features duets with an A-list cast, including Billy Gibbons, Luke Bryan, Dolly Parton, Jason Aldean, Willie Nelson, Lucy Angel, Kacey Musgraves, Little Big Town, George Strait, Jessie Key, Leon Russell, Steven Curtis Chapman and Montgomery Gentry.

The 13-track collection, Ronnie Milsap: The Duets, includes one of Troy Gentry’s final recordings on the Montgomery Gentry/Ronnie duet, “Shakey Ground.” In addition, Leon Russell, who passed away in 2016, is featured on “Misery Loves Company.” The album was recorded at Ronnie’s Place, the Nashville studio Ronnie owned from the late 1970s until 1995.

On June 17, Ronnie will ship his duet with Dolly Parton on “Smoky Mountain Rain” to country radio as the album’s lead single. Penned by Kye Fleming and Dennis Morgan, “Smoky Mountain Rain” became a No. 1 hit for Ronnie after its release in 1980.

For the new single, Dolly joins Ronnie to deliver a modern take on the classic hit, which you can listen to below.
