Dolly Parton's new album "Better Days" has a hint of Broadway on it. The singer-songwriter performs four songs from her Broadway musical 9 to 5 on the 12-track disc, which was released June 28.
The album includes the show's "I Just Might," "Shine Like the Sun," "Get Out and Stay Out" and "Let Love Grow." Parton previously recorded "Backwoods Barbie," also from the musical, on her same-titled album.
The country star and actress created the role of secretary Doralee in the film "9 to 5," and penned the soundtrack's hit title song. More than 25 years after the film's release, a Broadway musical version featured all-new songs by Parton and a script by the original screenwriter Patricia Resnick. The show is now on national tour.
