NASHVILLE (AP) – New tracks from the “Trio” sessions featuring Dolly Parton, Emmylou Harris and Linda Ronstadt will be released, but it’s unlikely we’ll see a reunion of the three to do the songs live. Ronstadt has Parkinson’s disease and is unable to sing. Parton says it’s “just the saddest thing in the world” that Ronstadt can’t sing anymore. She says they hope that perhaps Ronstadt will be able to appear with her and Harris and just speak, but they haven’t confirmed that. As for the new “Trio” music, Parton says they had recorded several tracks that had not been released, then recorded more songs that became the original “Trio” record. The previously unreleased tracks will come out with reissues of “Trio” and “Trio 2” in September.
