Dolly Parton's "Jolene" Played at 33 RPM

Post by Listyguy »

So a slowed down version of Dolly Parton's "Jolene" has gone viral recently, and it sounds pretty damn good, if you ask me. It sounds like Nina Simone is singing almost.

One of my absolute favorites, and this "version" is awesome, too! Very haunting and the comparison to Nina is spot-on.

What's funny is, many years ago, I hadn't heard "Jolene" since I was a child. When I did hear it again, my first thought was "Huh? I remember the tempo being quite a bit slower..."
