As for working with Parton on this newly revised version of one of their most popular tracks to date, Mötley Crüe collectively stated:
“‘Home Sweet Home‘ was first released in 1985 as a single from our ‘Theatre Of Pain‘ album. For an icon like Dolly Parton to sing on a song that has not only meant so much to us but to all the fans through the years, is a career high that means a lot to us. We couldn’t be happier to celebrate the 40th anniversary of ‘Home Sweet Home’ in this special way, and we’re excited to share this version of the song with all the Dolly and Mötley fans around the world.
That we were able to unite with Dolly to raise awareness for homeless youth and the amazing work of Covenant House, which provides them safe housing and care, makes it even more special. We hope you’ll enjoy ‘Home Sweet Home’ featuring Dolly Parton as much as Dolly and we enjoyed creating it.”
A portion of the proceeds from this version of the track will go towards Covenant House.
