PARTON, SPOTIFY TEAM UP FOR LAUNCH OF
COUNTRY ICONS PLAYLIST

Kirt Webster, John Marks, Dolly and manager Danny Nozell

Spotify’s soon-to-launch New Traditions/Country Heroes playlist will focus on new music from the genre’s still-active iconic artists, including Dolly Parton, Vince Gill, Reba McEntire and George Strait. The playlist will feature five tracks from Dolly’s Pure & Simple, dropping this Friday (8/19).

New Traditions/Country Heroes was co-created by Spotify’s in-house country guru, John Marks, and Dolly’s longtime publicist, Kirt Webster (whose Nashville-based firm reps more than 50 artists), in an effort to create a home for legacy country acts on the service. The collaborators have come up with north (you’ll pardon the expression) of four hours of hand-picked tracks.
