Just when you think Dolly Parton has done it all, the country music icon finds a way to surprise her fans. Fresh on the heels of her Rockstar album, the 78-year-old "Jolene" singer is back with all-new music.

Unlike Rockstar, which was a departure from her typical music, this new album goes right back to Dolly's roots in the Smoky Mountains of Tennessee. At the opening for the new Dolly Parton Experience at her Dollywood theme park in Gatlinburg, she took the stage and broke the news that her new album is coming out in November.

Dolly Parton & Family: Smoky Mountain DNA – Family, Faith & Fables drops on November 15, and the album will be accompanied by a four-part docuseries. As the name suggests, the album pays homage to Dolly's heritage.

According to USA Today, she said, "My Uncle Bill Owens was by my side for many years helping me develop my music. I owe so much to him and all the family members past and present who have inspired me along this journey. I am honored to spotlight our families' musical legacy that is my Smoky Mountain DNA."

Produced by Dolly's cousin Richie Owens, the album will blend the musical histories of Dolly's paternal Parton family members and the maternal Owens side of her family, dating back to the 1600s. It will feature performances by members of Dolly's family spanning the generations.

Dolly Parton & Family: Smoky Mountain DNA will be available for preorder beginning on June 21 and will include early download of two tracks.
