DOLLY PARTON FAVORITES GO

Question

Karen Fischer · Answer

Jolene by The White Stripes: Okay I know this isn't classic Dolly, but this cover KILLS. Something about the cascade when Jack White sings, "I'm begging of you, please don't take my man" gets at something much darker in the song that was lurking there the whole time, perhaps this desperation that the OG Dolly version has a sprinkle of, but the cover blows the top off. Covers, sometimes, are a way of realizing the genius of the original composer. This is a good example.

Dolly Parton and Tina Turner Tea Towel x Kaylene Whiskey: Yankunytjatjara woman Kaylene Whiskey makes such delightful art that this is too beautiful to even use as a tea towel, but it's my way of buying art more affordably.
