Riser House/SonyZZ Top‘s Billy Gibbons, the late Leon Russell, Dolly Parton and Willie Nelson are among the artists who lent their talents to veteran country star Ronnie Milsap’s upcoming studio album, The Duets, which comes out January 18, 2019.
Gibbons is featured on the album’s lead track, a tune titled “Southern Boys and Detroit Wheels.”
Russell, who died in November 2016 at age 74, contributed to a new rendition of the Jerry Reed-penned song “Misery Loves Company,” which Ronnie previously recorded for his 1980 album, Milsap Magic. The track is believed to be Leon’s final recording.
As for Parton, she joins Milsap for a version of his 1980 country chart-topper “Smoky Mountain Rain,” while Nelson teams up with Ronnie for a cover of “A Woman’s Love,” a tune by veteran country songwriter Mike Reid that Willie also recorded for his 2017 album, God’s Problem Child.
