From Dolly’s insta:
I feel like it gets a bit lost, with how readily we meme his songs online, but Lil Nas X really does have a beautiful country singing voice. He might have the best voice for soulful, impassioned, male country vocals since Johnny Cash, and this cover really shows that off.
he is perfect for outlaw country not that new i love my truck an 'murica stuff that calls itself country
Jolene by Dolly Parton except it’s playing downstairs while you’re laying up in the loft of a cabin listening to the thunder and rain hitting the roof tiles above you
Oh BITCH this is a mood
So it turns out if you have a 45 of Dolly Parton’s ‘Jolene’ and you play it at 33rpm, well, you get something pretty amazing.
Wow.
WOW.
AHHHHHHHH❤️
get the fuck out this is awesome
wow

Jolene (33 R.P.M) - click for .mp3
Unsure where this came from, if not the palsied hands of the good Lord himself.
Simple premise: Dolly Parton’s “Jolene” slipped from 45 to 33 rpm. Nothing more; no studio trickery, no trip hop drum breaks. The guitar lopes back in and around itself. The bass becomes elastic, hot rubber. The violin stabs become sustained cello lines. The backing choir’s split harmony rattles around, slinking ghostly into the corner. And most importantly, Parton’s once-frantic vocal is transformed from bubblegum country scrawl into something approximating field holler reverence.
An already perfect song made transcendental..
Well, this changes everything.
jolene by dolly parton is honestly such a powerful song. i ain’t even got a man and i have a terrible fear of that bitch stealing my man
The reason you don’t have a man is because she’s already stolen him.
