![]() This seems somewhat peculiar now, in that no one - looking at her long, distinguished career and commanding stage presence - would accuse Parton of being a weak-kneed songbird. Lyrically, however, these songs are a long way from Loretta Lynn's "You Ain't Woman Enough to Take My Man." Parton's female protagonists are downright pitiful, adrift in a world where a more attractive woman might take their man, where a woman cannot let go of a man who no longer loves her, and where a man is the "highlight" of her life ("Highlight of My Life.") Jolene, originally released in 1974, feels like a shot across the bow of the feminist movement, a reaffirmation that many women still liked the men to wear the pants (women, presumably, who listened to old-fashioned country music). This tasteful mix, nicely spread across the stereo spectrum with Parton front and center, is a joy to listen to. A sparkling production creates a rich backdrop for both "Jolene" and "When Someone Wants to Leave" (both Parton originals), mixing acoustic guitar, country instruments (steel guitar, dobro), and light percussion. “Of the three 2007 Dolly Parton reissues from Sony, Jolene is the most absorbing musically and the most problematic lyrically. ![]() Recorded January 12, 1972–Decemat RCA Studio A, Nashville Written by Blaise Tosti (B5), Dolly Parton (A1 to B3), Porter Wagoner (B4)ġ LP, standard sleeve with limited time digital download It does not store any personal data.The Nashville Edition - background vocals ![]() The cookie is set by the GDPR Cookie Consent plugin and is used to store whether or not user has consented to the use of cookies.

Listen to all ten in this play list or individually as you scroll. It’s by no means exhaustive though, so dive into your collection and give it a go, the results could just be spectacular. The list below ranges from the obvious to the obscure covering wrong speed ‘classics’ and a couple of my personal favourites. What you probably didn’t know is that you were following the same path as a host of avant garde musicians (Pierre Schaeffer), adventurous DJs (Levan, Baldelli, Loda) and gloriously unprofessional radio hosts (John Peel), whose experiments with speed, whether deliberate or accidental were creating weird and wonderful results all over the globe. If you grew up in a house with a turntable, chances are you spent many a happy hour turning your parents’ record collection into ‘The Very Best Of The Chipmunks’ or an eclectic covers album by the late, great Barry White.
