For King & Country gave us one of their biggest hits with the song “God Only Knows” and its new cover is even better than the original because it sees them joining forces with country legend Dolly Parton.
The Jolene singer reached out to Joel and Luke Smallbone after being inspired by the hopeful message of this song, and they were beyond honored to record the cover by her side.
“When we originally spoke to Dolly Parton on the phone, her words were ‘When I first heard God Only Knows I thought it was one of the best songs I’d ever heard. I feel that this is a good song for right now. I know that it touched me at a time when I needed to be lifted up’ and our jaws fell on the floor,” wrote the duo on Instagram.
“God Only Knows” isn’t the first song that recently saw Parton joining forces with modern artists. Back in 2018, she recorded the song “Here I Am” for Dumplin’ soundtrack alongside Sia, and recently dropped a cover of her 1973 hit “I Will Always Love You” with Kristin Chenoweth.
