The Dolly Parton song Jolene

Last night I was listening to one of my old tapes from when I was a radio DJ and I came across a cover of the Dolly Parton song Jolene by the "new wave" group Strawberry Switchblade. Quite an interesting interpretation of Dolly's original version!

The video isn't on your post--you probably need to post a few more times before you're allowed to post videos. In any event, here is Strawberry Switchblade's take on Jolene. They do leave their own mark on the tune:

Thanks Drjohnrock. I'm new here - I guess new people need to wait a while until video links can be part of the posts.

You're welcome. There are a minimum number of posts you have to make before you can post stuff from Youtube and the like. I think the number is somewhere in the teens but I'm not sure. Marie Monday, one of the moderators, could tell you.

Thanks, well that's OK, I'm happy just reading through all the posts made prior to me recently joining and commenting in them for a while.
