She just performed last week at Wolf Trap in Virginia. Fabulous, heart-felt, unforgettable performance.

One wonders upon whom the character "Jolene" was based for the tune or if a real person at all?
Will have to Google that one to see if anything can be found about the origins...

Not being into country, this is one of hers that I really have always liked. And I think she is a great person and very accomplished in many ways, but it is disappointing how she has continued to defend her god-child, Miley Cyrus, publicly at least. Maybe she is different in private.

According to modern movements in “Christian counseling” this is misogynistic projection, because sexual predation is strictly a male characteristic, and women only want relationships, never a string of sexual conquests.

Obviously no women like this “Jolene” person have ever existed, and if they did they wouldn't want some other woman's man. The only way relations of that sort occur is because the lust of the men victimized them.

If you think events like those described in this song ever happen, you need to spend $1200 to $1400 for an “Every Man's Battle” workshop. Your lust is out of control.

And don't go saying that sin is a human characteristic, not just a male characteristic. Step out of your denial. And spend your money.

I never cared much for the song until I came across a version on u-toob that was slowed down (with pitch correction): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yYn6_ZA_Udg

Give it a try...

Not too much into country music, but I think her best song was,’I will always love you’.

Dolly wrote it then Whitney Houston came along years later and had a humongous hit with it. (I like Whitney’s version better. :) )
