[@BonnChnd]

Dolly drew the biggest crowds of any musical act at the Glastonbury festival at this time. Over 100,000. She considered the invite to play there a big honor as her music has roots in Scotland, Ireland etc. I read that during her stay at Glastonbury she quietly visited a pub, dressed down and all, but everyone knew it was Dolly. Patrons of the pub had brought their instruments to play which is very normal for Europeans. They begged Dolly to play along. After a pint she relented and jammed with her new found friends. That would be a dream come true to experience something like that in person. Dolly has left her mark around the world.

Anna, I'd say there are many positive things about you. As I already mentioned, your beautiful picture. I love the colour of, and the flowers in, your hair. As well that, what you told us, you are from Poland, but now live in Austria. Polish women are, in my opinion, one of the best in the world. Austria is, in my opinion, one of the most beautiful countries in the world. Also the fact, else you would not have been listening to this song, you like this song, which is a great song, and your love of animals (seen from the videos you have watched/liked on KZbin), tells me that you have a great personality. So I am really sure you are not only beautiful from the outside, but as well are definitely beautiful from the inside. If I would ever be granded with the opportunity of meeting you, or a 100% copy of you, I would never let that opportunity pass by. Not even if I would only be able to say hello. Do not let anyone ever tell you that you are not as well are beautifull from the inside as much as your are beautiful from the outside. I hope you will not only have a wonderful 2017, but that you will live an exceedingly wondrous life.

[@tsukopara2054]

Gayalert69 Dolly does use miming in certain performances, but this was one where you can tell it was genuine, since it’s quieter & a lot more improvised on the timing. Besides, with Dolly it’s not a case of having lost her voice, it’s simply pragmatic. Woman’s 70, it’s an issue of stamina, not ability.

[@Banjo_Tails]

[@razrv3lc]

Country music is in a terrible place right now. It's like Top40 music but with a fake country accent. I'd love if it could get back to the blues roots that it came from, although it's been dying since Taylor Swift and Luke Bryan got into it and started changing what country music was. I feel like real country music lovers would like blues more than actual country now.

[@marefynn81]

I stopped listening to country long ago precisely for the reason you state. Now I listen to Celtic, roots, blues and some of the older Southern Rock artists. Give me a Johnny Cash, Dolly Parton, Crystal Gale or Waylon Jennings any day. Also some of the older artists had sung Gospel or Church Music before starting their careers and they had that knowledge too.

[@cakedoodle]

Mary Finn Jolene is quite poppy, actually. And the old stodgy country folks derided Dolly for her pop crossover hits in the 70s. and where are they now?

[@elliottlelaure9680]

I agree it's a great song but I think your comment about this coming before the pop influence is wrong. This song is the epitome of country-pop. It's hardly an authentic country song. Listen to Ray Price, slim Whitman or Loretta Lynn for authentic country music. Jolene is a great song but it is not authentic country music as you suggest.

[@leonoragonzalez2952]

@Eric Burkheimer Actually, the more likely reason divorce rates went up is because women started working and making their own money so they didn't feel as pressured to stay in marriages for financial/independence reasons. It has nothing to do with people not taking their vows seriously. That said, I do think people (especially women) feel very pressured to marry ASAP and they don't think about if it's the right decision for themselves or not. They end up in relationships that just won't last, but they realize much too late.

Completely agree. Even there's a little sniff (1:34) which completely matches what you see: her breathing quite heavily through nose.

They managed to take care of her throughout the festival then afterwards they took her to a shelter.

Dolly Parton = LEGEND!

[@gregoryambres1897]

This song would actually be classified as a "Scottish Reel," or an Irish folk song. Very appropriate that she should have sung it a Glastonbury, being a very "Olde British"-type song.

[@anasikarakelian9248]

Her voice is like it's frozen in time. Absolutely magical

[@chlagace]

cuz its literally the vocals from the record playing, she's not singing live on here

[@imsorryforarguingbut4555]

@@chlagace Can you prove she isn’t?

[@codyguy91]

I don't think I've ever met anyone who dislikes Dolly.

[@khfan4life365]

I have read that American country music isn’t really known in Great Britain. As an American, it thrills me that the Brits not only know Dolly but are enthusiastically singing along with her.

[@honestmark6681]

Hello how are you doing today???

[@sorrygregory5653]

Everyone knows who Dolly Parton is, at least everyone 40 plus

[@harri8679]

i can tell you now i’m a 21 year old british dude and i absolutely adore country. i’m off to see shania twain soon and i appreciate every country singer because it’s so good

[@warchild4974]

Somehow, in this live version, Dolly brings more emotion to her voice, which in turn has added to the song, even more than before! I'm just glad that Dolly is still around, I love country music, and she for me , is last of the greatest!

[@chocofudge1932]

i just love how even the security people have their little routine prepared because Dolly Parton is just THAT iconic

[@vishalrai1461]

Such an ease, relaxing signing in this age, she is a true legend

[@meganbeyers9318]

Security dancing is one of the best things I’ve ever seen. Hahaha.

I have a massive soft spot for Dolly Parton. Jolene is one of my all time favourite songs.

Hello Lori How are you doing today?

[@chejo6095]

what a precious soul

[@mckenziekeith7434]

It seems like that vibrato worked its way into her voice as she got older. If anything it makes this song even more intense. Dolly has the best voice.

[@simonkerr6653]

Fair play to Dolly. The woman is timeless.

[@prezz1257]

girl security dancer closest to screen got it going on, good moves.

[@jjs9913]

Im not even a country fan..im a hard rock/metal guy but this is probably the best voice ive ever heard...shes incredible

Jolene is my favorite Dolly Parton song

Love Dolly. I live next to Pigeon Forge where Dollywood is. When Gatlinburg got burnt she donated a ton of money to help...even gave it's citizens money to survive on until things got better. Outstanding person and artist. She created her own little empire.
