The Rockstar deluxe version features nine new tracks, including live versions of "Rockin' It," "Mama Never Said" and "Stay Out of my Bedroom" featuring Sylvester Stallone.

The album also includes covers of Pat Benetar's "Hit Me With Your Best Shot," Eddie Money's "Two Tickets to Paradise," Simon & Garfunkel's "Bridge Over Troubled Water," Billy Joel's "The Entertainer" and Eurythmics' "Sweet Dreams (Are Made of This)."

"Hey fans and friends, It's my Birthday so I'm going to give you a present! I'm releasing four never released songs for my birthday, to go with the Rockstar album, and a few others that you may have heard before that were not on the album," Parton wrote on Instagram. "I hope you enjoy them, and I hope you all have a happy birthday for me!"

Parton originally released Rockstar in November. The album is her first rock album and features both original songs and covers of iconic rock hits.
