Country legend Dolly Parton has announced that her next album will be released on her own new record label, the aptly name Dolly Records. Her manager, Danny Nozell, said that the release will be "the first mainstream country record Dolly has done in 17 years", and that Dolly will be the only artist signed to the label, which seems a little bit selfish really. Commenting on the decision to go-it-alone, Nozell cited Dolly's strong financial situation, the poor deals offered to them by the majors and, presumably, the fact that they can potentially pocket huge profits that would otherwise have had to be shared. Dolly's new venture adds a number of businesses to her portfolio, most famously her own American theme park.
