Penned by Johnny Russell and Voni Morrison, “Making Plans” is a fresh Bluegrass twist on the beloved Country heartbreak ballad made famous by Dolly Parton and Porter Wagoner from their 1980 album Porter & Dolly. While honoring the emotional depth of the original, Dale Ann brings a renewed sense of vulnerability, soul and authenticity to the timeless song.

The result is a must-hear recording that highlights why Dale Ann Bradley remains one of the most revered vocalists in Bluegrass music today.
“This song is an epitome of a great recording that has stood the test of time, written by two of the most prolific songwriters to ever write country music,” says Dale Ann Bradley. “So many Bluegrass artists have performed this song as well, and it was one of the very first songs I ever learned to play and sing. The fact that two of the greatest singers and musicians in bluegrass (Kathy Kallick and Laurie Lewis) graced this tune with their gorgeous harmonies is a blessing, and one more bucket list dream that I’m so happy to have fulfilled.”
“Making Plans” arrives as anticipation continues to build for Bradley’s upcoming album, a highly anticipated 11-track collection that further showcases the artistry, storytelling and emotional depth that have defined her celebrated career. Dale Ann is currently putting the finishing touches on the project, which has already generated significant momentum thanks to a string of standout singles. Recent releases include the driving favorite “Mary’s Rock” and the deeply personal, self-penned tribute “Uncle Jake.” Leading the way is Bradley’s breakout hit “Jackson, TN,” which topped the Bluegrass Unlimited National Airplay Survey in 2025 and further cemented her reputation as one of the genre’s most powerful and renowned voices. Together, the songs reveal an artist operating at the very peak of her creative powers.
