Jessica Simpson has praised Dolly Parton's contribution to her country music record Do You Know.
Simpson admitted that Parton helped her to overhaul the album after she voiced her dislike for many of the songs that were already recorded.
"She had a handful of songs for me and I played my record for her and she was like, 'Oh, these songs aren't good enough, I have to write one,'" Simpson said. "So she wrote 'Do You Know', and then I was blessed to have her actually sing on the track with me."
The album has received mixed reviews, though the New York Post called Simpson's duet with Parton "the CD's best song and the one that is bound to earn her a country Grammy in February".
Do You Know, Simpson's first album in the country genre, was released in the US yesterday.
