Speaking about the exciting new project in a statement, the icon admitted that she wanted to take fans back to her roots musically:

"I may not be pure, but I’m as simple as they come! This new Pure & Simple project is really special to me because I’m taking my fans back to my roots. I feel like these songs have a pure, tender side and we didn’t go overboard with arrangements." Parton added: "I’m so glad we’ve teamed up with our friends at Sony to get this album out to the fans.”
