Miley Cyrus and Dolly Parton are among the big names lending their vocals to Beyonce’s highly-anticipated album, Country Carter.
Entertainment Weekly reported Cyrus, 31, has done a duet with Beyonce, 42, on the track II Most Wanted.
She is among a slew of music stars appearing in the upcoming album, set for release on March 29.
Country legends Dolly, 78, and Willie Nelson, 90, also have collaborated on the project – they feature during interludes, serving as DJ’s on Country Carter’s abstract KNTRY radio station. They introduce several tracks on the album.
Post Malone, 28, is another big name appearing on the album – he also lends his voice to the track Levii’s Jeans.
She has also collaborated with Linda Martell, the first Black female solo artist to perform at the Grand Ole Opry, as well as Black country musicians Willie Jones, Rhiannon Giddens, and Tanner Adell.
The songstress will also be covering the classic Beatles track Blackbird. An interpolation of the Beach Boys song Good Vibrations also appears in her track Ya Ya.
Country Carter contains 27 tracks, which includes interludes, according to EW.
It comes after Beyonce revealed the tracklist for her debut country album. ‘Cowboy Carter and the Rodeo Chitlin’ Circuit,’ reads the vintage country style graphic she shared Wednesday on Instagram. ‘Brought to you by Kntry Radio Texas.’
Among the songs is the notable inclusion of a cover of Dolly Parton’s 1973 single ‘Jolene’, which the country icon previously teased.
Parton, 78, told Knox News earlier this month that she ‘heard’ Bey laid down a cover of the song, which she ‘hopes’ to be true.
‘Well, I think she has!’ said Parton. ‘I think she’s recorded “Jolene” and I think it’s probably gonna be on her country album, which I’m very excited about that.
‘I love her! She’s a beautiful girl and a great singer,’ she raved.
Parton said she and Beyoncé have ‘sent messages back and forth through the years,’ leading up to the cover.
‘And she and her mother were like fans, and I was always touched that they were fans, and I always thought she was great,’ added Parton.
Beyoncé previously teased that she ‘collaborated with some brilliant artists who I deeply respect,’ prompting fans to speculate about a track with Taylor Swift.
Although there’s no sign of Swift, another country legend appears on the tracklist with the song ‘Smoke Hour’ featuring Willie Nelson.
In addition to the previously released singles ‘Texas Hold ‘Em’ and ’16 Carriages’, the rest of the list includes such songs as ‘Ameriican Requiem’, ‘Blackbiird’, ‘Protector’ and ‘My Rose’.
‘Bodyguard’, ‘Dolly P’, ‘Daughter’, ‘Spaghetti’, ‘Alliigator Tears’, ‘Smoke Hour II’, ‘Just for Fun’, ‘II Most Wanted’, ‘Levii’s Jeans’, ‘Flamenco’, ‘The Linda Martell Show’, ‘Ya Ya’, ‘Oh Louisiana’, ‘Desert Eagle’, ‘Riiverdance’, ‘II Hands II Heaven’, ‘Tyrant’, ‘Sweet Honey Buckin’ and ‘Amen’ round out the list.
Beyoncé previously debuted the album cover earlier this month as she announced the Cowboy Carter title and March 29 release date.
Cowboy Carter is now available for pre-order, releasing on March 29.
