We have Dolly Parton visiting these shores soon and she seems to be as popular as ever... suddenly everyone, young and old, are proclaiming their love. For a lot of people (I confess that I am one of them) it starts and ends with "Jolene", but hey, it is a true classic. So why am I talking about Dolly Parton on a blog post under Jennifer Nettles' name? Well there is a good reason, if you don't already know. "That Girl" by Jennifer Nettles, which is the title track of her new album, is an answer song to (or a rewriting of) Dolly Parton's "Jolene" from the perspective of Jolene. After 40 or so years, maybe we can finally give this bank teller named Jolene a break.
