Cheat Codes Go All-In With Country Legend Dolly Parton for New Single, “Bets On Us”
Cheat Codes hit the jackpot in their latest single, “Bets On Us,” which finds the dance music trio joining the iconic Dolly Parton. The can’t-lose combination marks the fourth single in the group’s rollout of their upcoming fourth studio album, One Night in Nashville. Few have found a cohesive vision that blends the seemingly polar opposite worlds of country and electronic music, but with cuts like “Bets On Us,” Cheat Codes are making it look easy and spurring a growing eagerness to discover what’s in store for the full project. With “Bets On Us,” Cheat Codes lean wholesale into native country instrumentation, incorporating stadium claps and the melodic twang of the banjo.

How Brandi Carlile Made History at the 2019 Newport Folk Festival
(Editor’s note: SPIN contributor Marissa R. Moss’s book, Her Country: How the Women of Country Music Became the Success They Were Never Supposed, is out today. Moss interviewed 70 sources for it, which traces how difficult it is to win when there are so many obstacles to clear. In this exclusive excerpt from Her Country, she outlines how Brandi Carlile engineered yet another historic moment in Newport Folk Festival history by putting together the first-ever female-only set in 2019.) It was a fall of both empty gestures and important strides: the CMA Awards would announce in August that Dolly Parton and Reba McEntire would be taking over hosting duties from Brad Paisley to join Carrie Underwood in “celebrating women” when the show aired in November (though plenty dismissed this as lip servi...

Rock and Roll Hall of Fame: Dolly Parton Still on 2022 Ballot
Several weeks after the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame announced the list of artists nominated for its Class of 2022, one of this year’s nominees — Dolly Parton — released a statement requesting her name be withdrawn because she didn’t feel she’d “earned that right.” The iconic country singer elaborated on her decision in an interview with Fox News on Thursday. “My perception and I think the perception of most of America — I just feel like that’s more for the people in rock music,” Parton said. “I’ve been educated since then, saying that it’s more than that, but I still didn’t feel right about it. It kind of would be like putting AC/DC in the Country Music Hall of Fame. That just felt a little out of place for me.” The Rock & Roll Hall of Fame Foundation has officially acknowledged ...

With his new remix of Dolly Parton‘s “Jolene,” Destructo is officially EDM’s latest superstar to pop on a pair of cowboy boots and try his hand at a lil’ country twang.
