Who's singin' Jolene? New (to me) version.

Just discovered this posted on another forum. Always loved the song but thought there should be a law passed preventing anyone but Dolly singing it. Was I right???

Lurve this 'voice'.

Can't replace Dolly i'm afraid

Think again about it. Have a look at the vid title.

That was amazing.

I honestly thought it was a new singer and I was going to say they did an excellent job on that classic song.

However after a little research I now believe it is still Dolly singing it but some clever person has modified the speed etc to change the tone of her voice.

Bingo Michael, it's Dolly's 45 version played at 33.3. Astounding that the instruments sound so 'real'.

Have to laugh at one of the comments "sounds like a Southern drag queen." Does too.
It impresses me that there is more inflection in her voice in the slowed down version that is missed/overlooked in the original.
Go Dolly!
