Dolly Parton: Jolene
Dolly Pardon: Jolene
Label: RCA Victor
Year: 1974
The recently dissolved partnership of Dolly & Porter Wagoner is a theme running through these songs, as Dolly the ace songwriter she is, lays it out from both sides with her trademark honesty and hopefulness. “Jolene” is a stone cold classic, Dolly’s original “I Will Always Love You” means something here, Porter’s “Lonely Comin’ Down” is the other side of the partnership and “It Must Be You” comes in at less than 120 seconds punctuating Jolene, a 10 song 25 minute album.
