Listen: Gabby Barrett’s Emotional Dolly Parton Cover
First time CMA nominee (2020 New Artist) Gabby Barrett released a new Amazon Original cover of Dolly Parton’s legendary, “I Will Always Love You.”
Inspired by Parton’s unparalleled songwriting ability, Barrett has been singing her songs since she was eleven years old. Barrett recorded the vocals at home in Nashville and her husband Cade Foehner accompanied with his own arrangement on guitar.
Gabby says, “I feel so much joy today releasing ‘I Will Always Love You,’ one of my favorite songs of all time and one of the greatest songs ever written, as an Amazon Original. The thing about this song and about all of Dolly’s catalog is that her music is timeless; it comes straight from her heart. You can tell that she’s being honest and sincere in every lyric she writes. Every story is genuine to her life. Something I strive for, that she has set such a perfect example of in Country music. I am honored to have covered this song, and I hope you all love it as much as I do.”
Dolly said of Gabby, “I know that Gabby will have a long and prosperous career ahead of her. She has what it takes to make it in our industry…. talent, she’s hard working, humble and kind.”
