Mötley Crüe have announced From The Beginning, an extensive compilation scheduled to arrive on September 12 via BMG. The release features a newly reimagined version of the band’s 1985 hit “Home Sweet Home” as a heartfelt duet with country icon Dolly Parton, out now. A portion of proceeds will benefit Covenant House, supporting homeless youth. The collection traces Crüe’s four-decade journey from Sunset Strip to rock legends, featuring classics like “Kickstart My Heart,” “Dr. Feelgood,” and “Shout At The Devil,” alongside recent single “Dogs Of War.”
The group comments:
“‘Home Sweet Home’ was first released in 1985 as a single from our ‘Theatre Of Pain’ album. For an icon like Dolly Parton to sing on a song that has not only meant so much to us but to all the fans through the years, is a career high that means a lot to us. We couldn’t be happier to celebrate the 40th anniversary of ‘Home Sweet Home’ in this special way, and we’re excited to share this version of the song with all the Dolly and Mötley fans around the world. That we were able to unite with Dolly to raise awareness for homeless youth and the amazing work of Covenant House, which provides them safe housing and care, makes it even more special. We hope you’ll enjoy ‘Home Sweet Home’ featuring Dolly Parton as much as Dolly and we enjoyed creating it.”
Dolly Parton adds:
“It was an honor and a joy working in the studio on Mötley Crüe’s 40th Anniversary re-release of ‘Home Sweet Home’. I was so pleased that they would ask me to sing on such a classic.”
