Beyonce's 'Cowboy Carter' Album: Tracklist revealed with Dolly Parton and Willie Nelson references

Buckle up, cowpoke: On Wednesday, Beyonce shared the track list for her forthcoming album, "Act ll: Cowboy Carter."

"Cowboy Carter" arrives Friday, but fans got a sneak peek on the superstar's Instagram account, when she shared an image that appears to include the titles of her songs: from the previously released "Texas Hold 'Em" and "16 Carriages," now including "American Requiem," "Blackbird," "Protector," "My Rose," "Bodyguard," "Daughter," "Spaghetti," "Alligator Tears," "Smoke Hour ll," "Just For Fun," "ll Most Wanted," "Levi's Jeans," "Flamenco," "Ya Ya," "Oh Louisiana," "Desert Eagle," "Riverdance," "ll Hands ll Heaven," "Tyrant," "Sweet Honey Buckin," and "Amen."

One song appears to be called "The Linda Martell Show," a reference to the groundbreaking country performer who became the first Black woman to play the Grand Ole Opry.


There's also mention of "Dolly P" - likely a reference to Dolly Parton - and a track titled "Jolene," a reference to one of Parton's best-known songs.

Earlier this month, in an interview with Knox News celebrating the seasonal opening of her amusement park Dollywood, Parton said she thinks Beyonce has recorded a cover of her 1973 hit.

"Well, I think she has," she said. "I think she's recorded 'Jolene' and I think it's probably gonna be on her country album, which I'm very excited about that."

The track list also mentions "Smoke Hour Willie Nelson," but it is not immediately clear if Nelson is involved with the project.
