A portion of the proceeds from the lead track from the band’s forthcoming singles compilation, “From The Beginning”, will benefit Covenant House, an organization close to the hearts of the members of Motley Crue. Covenant House provides safe shelter, meals, hope and more to help youth experiencing homelessness.
"'Home Sweet Home' was first released in 1985 as a single from our ‘Theatre Of Pain’ album,” shares Motley Crue. “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 Motley 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."
"It was an honor and a joy working in the studio on Motley Crue's 40th Anniversary re-release of 'Home Sweet Home',” adds Parton. “I was so pleased that they would ask me to sing on such a classic.”
Due September 12 – the same day Motley Crue kicks off their show residency at Dolby Live at Park MGM in Las Vegas, NV – “From The Beginning” is the group’s definitive compilation and traces the band's storied career from their start on the Sunset Strip in Los Angeles to today.
The collection spans four decades of Crue anthems, kicking off with their first global single and MTV video "Live Wire" and winding through the years to 2024's "Dogs Of War"; in between are the hits and fan favorites that shaped the rock genre and a generation, including "Kickstart My Heart", "Dr. Feelgood", "Girls, Girls, Girls", "Shout At The Devil", "Smokin' In The Boys Room", "Wild Side" and many more.
The original studio albums that featured these tracks, including the decade-plus gold, platinum and multi-platinum run of classics "Too Fast For Love", "Shout At The Devil", "Theatre Of Pain", "Girls Girls Girls" and "Dr. Feelgood" combined have sold over 100 million albums globally, generated 10 billion streams, and dominated the charts around the world.
