Country legend DOLLY PARTON put her recent back problems behind her to play a celebrity-packed record release party on Friday (28Mar08) night.

The veteran singer took the stage at The Roxy and performed hits including Jolene and Nine To Five to stars including actresses Emmy Rossum and Alison Janney and burlesque dancer Dita Von Teese.

The brief six-song gig, which was broadcast live on Los Angeles country radio station KKGO Go Country 105, was to promote Parton's new album Backwoods Barbie.

The 62-year-old told the crowd and the listeners at home, "It's good to be back where I belong! I wrote several records here and people have always been very nice."

Parton, famous for her busty image, was forced to postpone her U.S. tour in February (08) after doctors ordered her to rest for six to eight weeks to recover from a back injury, caused by her giant breasts.
