‘Wiggle Up, Giddy Up!’ is due for release on March 7, and will see Parton and Peck appear alongside other country artists such as Dasha, Lainey Wilson, Jackson Dean, MacKenzie Porter, and Lucky Oceans.

Elsewhere, Australian and New Zealand acts such as Morgan Evans, The Wolfe Brothers, and the late Slim Dusty will feature.

Speaking about the album, the Blue Wiggle, Anthony Field, said “This is one of the most exciting projects we’ve ever been a part of, in fact, I’ve never spent so much time on an album before.

“Country music is all about storytelling and connection,” he continued. “Combining that with The Wiggles’ fun and imagination and collaborations with these legendary country music artists felt like the perfect match.”

Check out the album’s lead single ‘Wiggle Up, Giddy Up!’, featuring Dasha, below.

It’s not the first time The Wiggles have ventured into new genres. In May last year, they topped the Australian dance music chart with ‘The Wiggles Soundsystem: Rave of Innocence’, an album of rave remixes. It outranked releases from bigger artists such as Sia and Rufus du Sol in the charts.

Meanwhile, last year Peck opened up about the change in his signature face mask, sharing that he felt naked following the removal of the mask’s iconic fringe.

Elsewhere, in December Parton announced an open casting call for a new musical based on her life.

Titled Dolly: An Original Musical, the show is set to follow the life and career of the singer and will feature a combination of both her biggest hits and some new material written especially for the show.
