Beyoncé's new album, featuring collaborations with some of country music's biggest names, including Dolly Parton and Willie Nelson, has already reached No. 2 on Apple Music.

Beyoncé Knowles-Carter has officially gone country with the release Friday of her new album, 'Cowboy Carter.'The Houston native's eighth album features 27 song tracks and guest appearances from some of country music's biggest stars, including Willie Nelson, Miley Cyrus and Dolly Parton, whose 1973 hit 'Jolene' is one of two covers featured.

Beyoncé said she drew inspiration for the album, in part, from growing up in Texas and watching performances at the Houston Rodeo. She said it took five years to finish Cowboy Carter and she wanted songs throughout the album to sound more down-home, given that a lot of music produced these days is heavily computer-aided.'With artificial intelligence and digital filters and programming, I wanted to go back to real instruments, and I used very old ones,' Beyoncé said.
