Chris Janson Reveals How He Got Dolly Parton On His Album

Chris Janson’s newest album, The Outlaw Side Of Me, is out now, and it features a couple of superstar guests.

Dolly Parton and Slash are on the track “21 Forever”, but how did Chris get them to be on the song? He said he just ASKED THEM.

“When we wrote ’21 Forever’ we actually wrote it in kind of reverse. I always envisioned Dolly being on it and I always envisioned Slash being on it because it reminded me it was very reminiscent of ‘November Rain’ to me by Guns N’ Roses. I asked Julian [Raymond] my producer, ‘Could you reach out to Dolly? Could you reach out to Slash?’ Let’s connect the dots.’ And they both said ‘Yes.’”

Both superstars sent back an immediate ‘yes’ and even remained humble asking Janson for his feedback.

“They’re pros and they just crushed it. They totally crushed it.”
