Halos & Horns was a 2002 Dolly Parton album. Her third album for the indepdent, roots music label Sugar Hill, the album continued Parton's experimentation with the folk and bluegrass sounds begun on The Grass Is Blue and Little Sparrow. Of the album's songs, perhaps the most noteworthy selection was Parton's folksy cover of Led Zeppelin's classic "Stairway to Heaven". "Hello God" was Parton's response to 9/11, while "Shattered Image" and "What a Heartache" were updates of songs Parton had previously recorded.

The cover photo was taken by famed photographer Annie Leibovitz.
