Summary
- Ronstadt and Parton, with Emmylou Harris, released two country albums.
- They shared a close musical bond, covering each other's songs.
- Their collaboration resulted in two successful 'Trio' albums.
Linda Ronstadt has shared her grief following the recent passing of her friend and musical collaborator, Dolly Parton. Ronstadt remembered Parton, who died at age 80 on Tuesday, as one of the most extraordinary musicians she had the pleasure of working with. The "Long, Long Time" singer noted that the world is diminished by her absence.
Ronstadt, Parton, and Emmylou Harris first joined forces to release the country album "Trio" in 1987. This collaboration followed years of mutual admiration, during which the artists frequently covered each other's compositions. Their partnership culminated in a second album, "Trio II," released in 1999, and a compilation of both works titled "The Complete Trio Collection" in 2016. The trio last reunited publicly in 2019 when Parton received an award.
