While a collab between Mötley Crüe and Dolly Parton might seem like a fever dream, bassist Nikki Sixx revealed he played a big role in making their new release of “Home Sweet Home” happen.
“I loved that moment when I saw online where she said if she's going to be in the Rock Hall she's got to make a rock record. And I remember I read that at like midnight or something online, and my very first phone call the second I could get a hold of my manager, was like, ‘I want to play bass on that record,’” Sixx told Forbes in an interview published on July 13. “So, I was one of the first people that had reached out. They'd started reaching out, this whole concept, so they had a song ready to go, they sent it out, and I cut the song. I thought, ‘Wow, how exciting that I get to be part of Dolly making a rock record. Me and probably 25, 30 other people that really respect her.’”
The legendary ‘80s rocker then revealed that he got a call from someone in the 615 area code, but they weren’t in his contacts so he didn’t answer. To his surprise, it was Parton who left a voicemail telling him how much she loved the bass on the song he had sent her. That was the beginning of their “sweet relationship.” Eventually, Parton and some of her friends joined Sixx’s wife, Courtney Sixx, in a DIY flower bouquet project that Courtney had been working on.
“By the time we got around to wanting to do something special with 'Home Sweet Home,' and Dolly's name came up, I was like, ‘If all those other things had not happened, it could have been a shot in the dark. It's like calling Paul McCartney. It's like, hey, what are you doing, Paul? You feel like singing ‘Home Sweet Home?’” Sixx added. “But if you have a relationship with her.” So, this relationship started to build in a friendly way. And they reached out and she was a hard yes. That was just a career high.”
