Kenny & Dolly received their third joint Grammy nomination on Friday night, December 6th for You Can’t Make Old Friends for Best Country Duo/Group Performance.

Kenny Rogers, the newest member of the Country Music Hall of Fame, and recent recipient of the Willie Nelson Lifetime Achievement Award at this year’s CMA Awards had this to say about the nomination: “I’m excited and very flattered about this opportunity and am convinced I should work with Dolly more often if we’re getting these kinds of results.” Country Music Hall of Fame member Dolly Parton added: “I was so excited and proud to hear that the Grammys have nominated Kenny and I for Best Country Duo/Group Performance on You Can’t Make Old Friends. I am also very proud to hear that Jolene made the Grammy’s Hall of Fame. Thank you everyone!”
