![]() ![]() ![]() Like it or loath it, Jolene offers a fascinating snapshot of an era in transition, and captures Parton at the top of her game.” AllMusic Review by Ronnie D. Jolene slowed down but VOCALS KEPT THE SAME (33 RPM Dolly Parton) OzzyOscy 3.9K subscribers Subscribe 2.4K 219K views 8 years ago I'm jumping on the bandwagon. Still, the music and Parton's vocal prowess are in top form on Jolene, and "I Will Always Love You" is one of her best performances (which is saying a lot). This could be considered a new genre of music. This seems somewhat peculiar now, in that no one - looking at her long, distinguished career and commanding stage presence - would accuse Parton of being a weak-kneed songbird. Jolene at 33 rpm with Guitar 25,120 views Playing Jolene vinyl record slowed down to 33 rpm and soloing guitar on top of it. Lyrically, however, these songs are a long way from Loretta Lynn's "You Ain't Woman Enough to Take My Man." Parton's female protagonists are downright pitiful, adrift in a world where a more attractive woman might take their man, where a woman cannot let go of a man who no longer loves her, and where a man is the "highlight" of her life ("Highlight of My Life.") Jolene, originally released in 1974, feels like a shot across the bow of the feminist movement, a reaffirmation that many women still liked the men to wear the pants (women, presumably, who listened to old-fashioned country music). This tasteful mix, nicely spread across the stereo spectrum with Parton front and center, is a joy to listen to. Dolly fans have discovered the track takes on a completely different vibe if. A sparkling production creates a rich backdrop for both "Jolene" and "When Someone Wants to Leave" (both Parton originals), mixing acoustic guitar, country instruments (steel guitar, dobro), and light percussion. We all know and love Dolly Partons incredible hit song 'Jolene.' But youve probably never heard it like this before. “Of the three 2007 Dolly Parton reissues from Sony, Jolene is the most absorbing musically and the most problematic lyrically. Dolly fans have discovered the track takes on a completely different vibe if you spin it on a record player at 33 rpm. Recorded January 12, 1972–Decemat RCA Studio A, Nashville We all know and love Dolly Partons incredible hit song 'Jolene.'.
