The last recording Dolly Parton made before he passing was this one with U2.The story goes like this...Bono initially approached Dolly for a different musical project. She instead offered him a song called “Torn”. Bono and Johnny McDaid subsequently reworked its lyrics around a mother watching her family fall apart.Dolly was reportedly very proud of the finished recording and had the opportunity to approve the final mix before her death.In fact there are two different versions of the song.An album version appearing on "Carnaval De Luz" the brand new U2 album outthis Friday and Kent Wells Version: A more explicitly country-oriented arrangement.This is an unexpected meeting of two very different musical worlds. U2's rock sensibility meets Dolly's country storytelling, while the subject of family conflict gives the duet a universal emotional dimension.The song was co-written by U2, Parton and Snow Patrol's Johnny McDaid while Daniel Lanois, a longtime U2 collaborator and celebrated producer, contributes pedal steel guitar, giving the track an authentic country atmosphere."Torn" is one of the most emotionally significant collaborations of their career and a piece of history.
