Twin brothers The Kentucky Gentlemen share a reverance for country music, and a penchant for expressing that love with their own unique flair.

Now… who does that sound like?

These Gentlemen channel the one and only Dolly Parton on their new single, “Beg Your Parton,” as a way of expressing the important role the universally-beloved Queen of Country has always played in shaping their artistic journey.

“Her remarkable career has been a constant source of inspiration and blueprint for us. Watching her has taught us to unapologetically embrace our own unique style and voices,” they said. “Over the years, whenever folks hint at us as being a little over the top, the two of us started joking saying to each other ‘I Beg Your Parton?,’ and after a while that phrase started to serve as a reminder to keep going and doing our thing, no matter the obstacle or whispers we may hear.”

They continued, “Her infectious positivity has shown us the power of perseverance and the importance of staying true to who we are, regardless of others’ expectations. We are forever grateful for the inspiration that she has provided, and the lessons she has taught us along the way.”

The up-tempo pop country single begins with a progression reminiscent of Parton’s 1973 mega-hit, “Jolene.” From there, this 2 1/2-minute romp features several lyrical nods to some of Dolly’s most iconic moments, musically or otherwise. In the process, The Kentucky Gentlemen showcase their own tenacity, as they fearlessly continue to blaze their own trail across the Americana landscape.
